The Fourth International Conference on Fatigue and Transportation
COPING WITH THE 24 HOUR SOCIETY

ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

Fatigue Management Alternatives to Prescriptive Hours of Service

March 19 - 22, 2000 (Note this revised date).
Fremantle
Western Australia

The conference dates have been fixed to follow the 6th World Congress on
Sleep Apnoea in Sydney.

THEME
The Conference on non-prescriptive approaches to managing fatigue,
follows from the Third Conference on Fatigue in Transportation held in
Fremantle in 1998.  Recommendations from that meeting concluded that
prescriptive work hours were not the appropriate solution to fatigue
management.  Other causes of fatigue needed to be addressed in effective
fatigue management systems.  

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Prof Torbjorn Åkerstedt, IPM/Karolinska institute, 
Professor Drew Dawson, University of South Australia, 
Prof. Jim Horne, University of Loughborough, 
Professor Karel Brookhuis, University of Groningen, 
Dr Bill Rogers, American Trucking Association, 
COL Gregory Belenky, Walter Reed Army Institute, 
Professor Philippa Gander, University of Wellington, 
Professor Merrill Mitler, Scripps Institute, 
Professor Ron Heslegrave, Wellesley Hospital, Toronto.
Professor Alan Pack, University of Pennsylvania

A Conference theme will be "Strategies for Programme and Promotion
Evaluation".

Transport environments considered will cover road, shipping, railways,
flight and mining.  Half of the Conference will be devoted to papers on
these topics, the remainder to workshops tackling solutions to problems in
fatigue management.

There is renewed world wide interest in driver fatigue as a result of
several factors, such as: 
¨ a better understanding of the problem and factors contributing to
fatigue 
¨ recent developments in non prescriptive approaches to managing fatigue
in Australia, Canada and New Zealand

In Australia, several models of non prescriptive management systems are
being trialed.  This issue is also being addressed in other parts of the
world.  Much may be learned from research and current practices in air,
rail and maritime transport modalities.   The Conference is timely in
re-addressing these issues.

The Proceedings - "Managing Fatigue in Transportation 1998" -  of the
Third Conference is published by Elsevier .

ABSTRACTS
Please submit 250 word Abstracts to the Convenor below no later than 31
December 1999.  These should contain all mail and email details for
correspondence and maybe in hard or electronic copy.

VENUE
The port of Fremantle offers the charm of a village atmosphere in a
sophisticated, international surrounding.  It has a diverse and exciting
range of restaurants, cafes, pubs, local art and history.  It also enjoys
one of the most equable climates in the world.  With its
Mediterranean-type climate, Western Australia is Australia's sunniest
state with Fremantle enjoying an average of eight hours of sunshine daily
throughout the year.  During March, mean average temperatures range from
15 degrees celsius to 25 degrees celsius, although higher day time
temperatures are not unusual. Water sports, beaches, tours are in
abundance.
