Bowers-Carnahan, F. Renae, Kinghorn, Rhonda, Bittner, Alvah, Reynolds, Syd, Feyer, Anne-Marie, Williamson, Ann M. and Freund, Deborah M. (1993): Issues in Heavy Vehicles. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. p. 579.
The heavy vehicle industry includes medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and buses. Vehicle size, driver location relative to the road, and duration of time in the vehicle distinguish heavy vehicles from the passenger car and light truck industry. During the past decade, the industry has been changing. Technological advances, as well as political, economic, and cultural forces, have combined to create a new environment. The driver has become more important in this new environment. A driver shortage and safety issues have heightened the interest in human factors and ergonomics in the heavy vehicle industry.

Feyer, Anne-Marie and Williamson, Ann M. (1993): The Influence of Operational Conditions on Driver Fatigue in the Long Distance Road Transport Industry in Australia. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 590-594.
The present study is the second part of a large project designed to identify possible strategies to better manage driver fatigue in the long distance road transport industry. The first study in the project, reported elsewhere, investigated driver fatigue among truck drivers. The present study examined driver fatigue in the passenger sector. The questionnaire used earlier was adapted for the passenger sector to collect information about the drivers' experience of fatigue, working conditions, type of driving operation as well as details of their last trip and last working week. The results revealed that the experience of drivers in the passenger sector only partially overlapped with those for the truck sector. The ways in which fatigue occurred and some of the contributors to fatigue showed remarkable consistency across sectors. There was major divergence, however, in the ways drivers reported managing fatigue.

Feyer, Anne-Marie and Williamson, Ann M. (1992): Work Practices and Fatigue in the Long-Distance Road Transport Industry in Australia. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 975-979.
A Questionnaire was used to obtain information from 960 long distance truck drivers about the drivers' experience, type of employment and their working conditions, type of driving operation, as well as details of their last trip and their last working week. Operations specifically designed to combat driver fatigue by provision of a relief driver in a team operation did not appear to achieve their intended outcome. The potential benefits of such operations appeared to be outweighed by the greater distances and lack of flexibility that characterised these trips.

Williamson, Ann M., Feyer, Anne-Marie and Cairns, David (1992): Occupation and the Causes of Fatalities at Work. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 1039-1043.
The circumstances of all work-related fatalities occurring in Australia over a three year period were analysed to determine how they differed between occupational groups. Correspondence analysis was used to examine the relationship between the sequence of events immediately preceding the accident, the involvement of unsafe work practices and type of work being performed. There were clear differences in the causes of deaths at work between occupational groups which provide information about the most likely targets for accident prevention.
