The "Managing Fatigue" conference series is an established and respected forum for research updates and discussions within the fatigue management community. First convened in 1993, this event was influenced by the insights of FMCSA's Robert Carroll, Associate Professor Laurence Hartley, and Transport Canada's Sesto Vespa and Valerie Gil. The meeting was most recently held in Fremantle in March 2015. Each conference has primarily focused on the effects of fatigue in the transportation sector and has involved support from government, industry, and academia. As an evolving conference series, sectors beyond transportation – including natural resources, mining, healthcare, and the military – have played an important role in the event.
The theme of this event is "Managing Fatigue to Improve Safety, Wellness, and Effectiveness" and we are seeking abstract and panel proposal submissions on related topics. Example topics that would fit within the conference scope include:
