Effect of Driver Fatigue Influence by Road Condition

Everyone feels tired, everyone feels tired. In fact, due to the multidimensional structure, it is difficult for researchers to define the fatigue period. (May and Baldwin, 2009). In the large automobile industry, fatigue is estimated to be a factor that causes 30% of fatal crashes and 15% of serious injuries. Still it caused about 25% of the insurance loss (http://www.dpti.sa.gov.au/). In addition, fatigue is subjectively defined by self-reporting and is objectively defined by a decline in performance.

Driver fatigue has caused hundreds of traffic accidents every year in Australia. This report started to examine what is known as fatigue of the driver, why, topics such as reasons, contributions to road traffic accidents and fatal accidents, and preventive measures to better understand this overwhelming problem I will cover it. Driver fatigue means drowsiness or drowsiness experienced by a person, which usually results in a reduction in the driver's overall concentration level (Hartley, 1995). This may have a dangerous effect. The most noteworthy thing is to scan function, decision making, and of course slow down the response time. Most importantly, fatigue during driving can cause people to fall asleep on wheels, often causing serious crashes and deaths.

Fatigue driving brings the same effect to the driver. Not only is the driver likely to fall asleep while driving, but fatigue also slows the reaction time to deal with the load hazard. Drunk drivers or fatigue drivers are more likely to overlook traffic control signals such as temporary stop signs than warning drivers. Speed ​​violation is another cause of driver mistakes and is a common cause of accidents for young drivers. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) data, adolescents are more likely to accelerate than adult drivers, male teenagers are faster than male colleagues. People who are most likely to accelerate are also inexperienced drivers and have the lowest ability to cope with the high speed hazards of driving. Bad decisions also cause the driver to drive too fast under local conditions such as bad weather or poor visibility.
