Verifying driver performance for heavy haulage fatigue management
journal contribution

However, in heavy vehicle activity, the enforcement of fatigue management rules by the Australian government can potentially influence this efficiency as the regulation scheme controls maximum work time and minimum rest time of drivers. Therefore, evaluating a driver’s performance in the context of fatigue compliance is an essential need that aims to assist transport operators increase their operational efficiencies. This research proposes a method in assessing how well a driver performs their job by using anomaly detection principles from Intrusion Detection Systems in Network Security. This approach utilises output data of the Logistics Fatigue Manager Application and compliance outcomes of the Fatigue Compliance Verification System to measure driver performance. In addition to performance concerns, the system also monitors safety levels based on fatigue conditions of drivers to ensure that the positive evaluation outcomes can become applied standards for the whole fleet in practice. The results highlight the opportunity to monitor driver fatigue levels for verifying fatigue risk within existing fatigue compliance requirements.
