    Abstract
  • Based on the statistics of road traffic accidents at home and abroad, the driver characteristics in fatigue driving, the time period distribution of accidents, and the main reasons of highway accidents were analyzed respectively. The effect of fatigue driving on operating actions and the reason of driver fatigue were studied, and the preventive measures of fatigue driving were put forward. Analysis result shows that male drivers under 30 years of age, the peoples with less than 3 years of driving ages and the peoples with about 10 years of driving ages are the colony who have more fatigue driving accidents than others. Most fatigue driving accidents happen approximately at 2:00 to 6:00 and 15:00 to 16:00, and the accident scales caused by fatigue driving on expressway are more higher than that on ordinary road.The causes of fatigue include prolonged driving, lack of sleep, circadian rhythms and driver factors.In order to prevent fatigue and reduce fatigue driving accidents, drivers are suggested to have sufficient sleep, a short rest, reasonable arrangements for travel time, and use fatigue warning devices.
