UPRR Fatigue ConferenceStudies of Passenger Work Rest Schedules Patrick Sherry, Ph.D. University of Denver Transportation Institute
Overview • Typical passenger schedules • FAST • FAID • What to do with outliers • Next steps • Tool box
Perspective the number of hours worked per week (over 40) and the number of hours worked per day (over 8) were positively associated with an increasing risk of injury (per 100 worker-years).
Most schedules range from 5 am to 7pm • Not all schedules have an IR • Even if no nap taken during the IR period effectiveness ok • Continuous 14 hr ok • Effects of naps positive • Evening starts more problematic
Majority of work schedules are during the day • Schedules starting later in the day extending into the early morning hours have more risk • Consider various countermeasures to address risk
Hazard Identification • Development of Countermeasures • Tool Box
Issues • Confidence Intervals • Individual differences • Varying assumptions • Effects of naps • Effects of caffeine • Scientific evidence not limited to models • Accuracy of models only 50 rms residual • Greater chance of accidents not same as actual risk. • What is the risk?
