BACKGROUND Driver fatigue as a leading cause of death in the transportation industry can impair the driving performance in long-distance driving task. Studies on the links of driver subjective fatigue and the bus lateral position are still an exploratory issue that requires further investigation. This study aimed to determine the correlation between the driver subjective fatigue and the bus lat...

The rapid development of driver fatigue detection technology indicates important significance of traffic safety. The authors' main goals of this Letter are principally three: (i) A middleware architecture, defined as process unit (PU), which can communicate with personal electroencephalography (EEG) node (PEN) and cloud server (CS). The PU receives EEG signals from PEN, recognises the fatigue s...

background: the present study aimed to investigate the effects of work shifts and mental workload on chronic fatigue among female nurses in intensive care units of selected hospitals in shiraz.   methods: the participants in this cross-sectional study were 118 female nurses working in intensive care units of three hospitals in shiraz with an average age of 304.8± years. sp (samn-perelli) mental...

Long duration of driving is a significant cause of fatigue-related accidents on motorways or major roadways. The fatigue caused by driving for extended periods acutely impairs driver alertness and performance and can compromise transportation safety. This study quantitatively measured the progression of driver fatigue and identified the conservative safe duration of continuous highway driving. ...

OBJECTIVE A driving simulator was used to assess the impact on fatigue, stress, and workload of full vehicle automation that was initiated by the driver. BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that mandatory use of full automation induces a state of "passive fatigue" associated with loss of alertness. By contrast, voluntary use of automation may enhance the driver's perceptions of control and...

Driver fatigue in endurance motor racing, has been problematic for driver safety and optimal performance. Historically in this sport focus has been primary on improving mechanical performance; making the racecar light, faster and improving grip (aerodynamics and suspension geometry). Driver safety has come secondary. A series of fatal accidents that were attributed to fatigue have led to rule c...

sleeping through different mechanism causes the removal of fatigue and regaining power to start daily activities. sleep with high quality plays an essential role in body and mental health. the previous studies indicated that problems derived from sleeping can lead to the emergence of many physical and mental disorders, including lack of appetite, physical and mental tiredness, lack of concentra...

original article   mental fatigue (mf) is considered as a contributor factor in incident, even catastrophic one. electroencephalography measurement has been the most acceptable method to assess mf by neurologists. however, this method could be hardly feasible in real work setting. flicker fusion device, by contrast, is more usable at work setting. the purpose of this study was to compare the cr...
