Abstract
The problem of fatigue in driving is two-fold. It includes both the fatigue resulting from driving and the effects of fatigue, from whatever source, on driving. The study of fatigue in drivers is hindered by the fact that no reliable method of measuring fatigue or defining driving performance has yet been found. This paper reviews some of the research on operational fatigue, and discusses the source of fatigue in driving. It is concluded that stress is an important factor in the production of driving fatigue, and various methods of assessing the effects of the emotional arousal it produces are discussed.Keywords
