KEYNOTE ADDRESS: PAY ATTENTION! WHAT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS REALLY
REVEAL ABOUT DRIVER AND PILOT ALERTNESS
Honourable Robert L. Sumwalt, Chairman, National Transport Safety Board
(NTSB)
- Fatigue is a pervasive problem in transportation that degrades a person’s ability to stay awake, alert, and attentive to the demands of safely controlling a vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or train
- Distractions, change blindness, inattention blindness, poor workload management, interfacing with automation and a host of other human factors can rob attention and alertness, leading to transportation crashes
- The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has investigated several crashes in all modes of transportation where driver attention and alertness have been cited, and Robert will discuss several of these crashes, along with recommendations to improve transportation safety though improved attention and alertness
