Even when the road is clear and the truck driver is at their most alert, distractions like mobile phones and points of interest outside a vehicle can lead to a crash \u2013 sometimes fatal. We have seen many of these stories. While most truck drivers execute their job with the highest degree of professionalism, accidents happen. But can they be avoided?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                                                               <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make no mistake about it. Truck driver fatigue and\ndistraction are serious problems that result in significant road fatalities on\nUS roads every year. It is estimated that nearly 10 percent of all fatal\ncrashes involving fault on the part of the truck driver were because of truck\ndriver fatigue. A full 15 percent of injury crashes can be traced back to\ndistracted driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider that driving while on your phone for just two\nseconds is equivalent to 33 meters of blind driving. It is more than a problem.\nIt\u2019s a worrying trend that needs to be managed. Today, we are going to look at\nthe impacts of truck driver fatigue and distraction, and outline how technology\nand changes at a company\u2019s cultural level can be used to address both fatigue\nand distracted driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Driving Tired is Dangerous<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact is this: Being fatigued significantly increases the\nrisk of a crash. Tiredness can impair our ability to respond quickly and safely\nwhen a dangerous situation arises, and the results can be disastrous. Couple\nthis with the fact that it is difficult to self-identify fatigue levels and the\nrisk increases even more. So, while you may think you are fit to drive \u2013 the\nreality could be quite different. We are not always our own best judges in\nsituations like these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are experiencing fatigue symptoms, you need to pull\nover. Chances are you have experienced one or more fatigue symptoms while\noperating a commercial motor vehicle. Did you stop? Symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Trouble focusing, or narrow attention span; <\/li><li>Lane drifting; <\/li><li>Slower reaction times; <\/li><li>Daydreaming and zoning out; <\/li><li>Nodding head, or struggling to keep eyes open,\nand <\/li><li>Frequent yawning as well as rubbing of eyes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truckers can also experience what is known as \u201cmicro-sleeps\u201d\nbehind the wheel without realizing it. This can happen when a driver becomes\ndrowsy and involuntarily lapses into sleep that lasts between 2 to 15 seconds,\ngreatly increasing the chances of a crash. If you have woken up suddenly to\nyour head jerking, then you have experienced a micro-sleep. Micro-sleep is\nincredibly dangerous when barreling down the road with 80,000 pounds under your\nhands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is estimated that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/risky-driving\/drowsy-driving\">83,000 crashes<\/a>\nbetween 2005 and 2009 in the US were the direct result of fatigued driving. In\nfact, nobody is immune to the effects of driver fatigue. Commercial drivers are\na high-risk group as they typically drive long distances, often at night,\nmaking them more susceptible to the effects of fatigue. Long-haul truck drivers\nmust remain extra vigilant for this reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why do Truck Drivers Get Fatigued?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two main causes of driver fatigue. The first is the\nquality and quantity of your last sleep. How much sleep did you last get, and\ndid you sleep well? Another thing that can be problematic is driving during\ntimes you would normally sleep and sleeping when you would normally be awake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When any of the above factors apply to your situation, it\nessentially means that your body is in sleep deficit (the cumulative effect of\nnot getting enough sleep). We each need to ensure that lost sleeping time is\nrepaid back by getting more sleep. Until you can catch up on lost sleep, you\nare at greater risk of having a fatigue-related accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fatigue related crashes are most likely to occur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>On long journeys or driving on monotonous roads,\nsuch as freeways; <\/li><li>Between the hours of 2am and 6am or between 2pm\nand 4pm (as a result of having eaten); <\/li><li>If you have taken medication that causes drowsiness;\n<\/li><li>After consuming alcohol; <\/li><li>When you have had less than your normal amount\nof sleep; <\/li><li>If you have an undiagnosed sleep condition (e.g.\nsleep apnea), or<\/li><li>After having worked long hours or after a night\nshift.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the truck driver\u2019s responsibility to understand these\nfactors and do everything they can to mitigate them. Fatigue should be the\nnumber one enemy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Distraction is Deadly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driver distraction is the diversion of attention away from\ndriving toward another competing activity. Distracted driving has been\nidentified as an emerging road safety issue and has been ranked by global road\nsafety authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO), as a\nsignificant contributing factor to road crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A distracted driver is a risk not only to themselves, but to their passengers and other road users too. Inattentive driving accounts for nearly 80% of all crashes and 65% of near misses. What\u2019s more is that just 3 seconds of driver distraction can precede a collision. How many times have you looked away from the road for more than 3 seconds? Most likely everyone reading this blog article can lay claim to being distracted while driving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                                                               <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what is the number one cause of distracted driving? You\nmight not be surprised. The use of mobile phones behind the wheel tops the list\nas the main cause of driver distraction. This is because a driver will have to\ntake their eyes, mind and (in some cases) hands off the task of driving, which\nin turn increases the likelihood of a crash. Worryingly, 33% of US drivers ages\n18 to 64 reported reading or writing text messages while driving even though\n98% of adults agree that the practice is unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other dangerous in-vehicle distractions include using or\nreaching for an object, interacting with other occupants, adjusting vehicle\ncontrols, rubbernecking and generally becoming lost in thought. Of the more\nthan 65,000 people killed in car crashes during 2010 and 2011, one in ten were\nin crashes where at least one of the drivers was distracted. This is especially\ndangerous for truck drivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truck drivers must always remain vigilant on the road. Sure,\nyou may have items in the cab you need to grab, but you might need to wait\nuntil you are pulled off the road. There have been cases where a truck driver\nreaching for a cup of coffee caused a fatal accident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Using Technology to Fight Fatigue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several technologies are available on the market to assist\nin monitoring truck driver fatigue and distraction. One such example uses an\nin-cab sensor to detect signs of fatigue and distraction using algorithms. The\nin-cab sensor can detect eye closure, the position of a driver\u2019s head (when it\nisn\u2019t facing forward), drooping eyelids, and micro-sleeps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When such events are detected, they trigger a real-time\nintervention process \u2013 an audible in-cab alarm, which can also be accompanied\nwith vibrations of the driver\u2019s seat. Once the event has been captured, the\ndriver\u2019s manager will also be notified of the incident and, if applicable, the\nmanager can intervene further. This can be a game-changer for both real-time\nsafety and potential coaching opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even in scenarios where the driver is wearing sunglasses or\nglasses, there are technologies that use infrared sensors to track the driver\u2019s\neyes. The infra-red sensors also make it possible for night-time driver\nmonitoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing the technological solution that is right for\nyour fleet, it is important to ensure that it is, accurate, effective,\nreliable, scalable, easy to use and fast to deploy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, technologies offered have been cost prohibitive but are now becoming more recognized and readily available. This, in turn, has made them more affordable. They are also easier to deploy across fleets \u2013 and more reliable. And as more companies bring on more systems, interoperability is less of a problem than it was before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                                                               <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the COVID-19 outbreak causing a huge spike in trucking\nspot market rates, there will be more truck drivers out on the roads than ever\nbefore. Now is the time to ensure you or your fleet operators are fully aware\nof the dangers of fatigue and distracted driving. Carrying essential supplies\nis important, but don\u2019t let it cause you to operate when you are fatigued. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving big rig carries a certain amount of risk even at the best of times, and we certainly are not in the best of times right now.
