First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for assessing the impact of fatigue on performance, the method comprising:
- determining an initial model-predicted fatigue level of an individual at an initial time;
transforming the initial model-predicted fatigue level into an initial contextual performance metric by applying a mapping function to the initial model-predicted fatigue level, the mapping function based at least in part on information contained in an historical fatigue database.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods for transforming numerical output of mathematical-fatigue models into contextual performance metrics, including without limitation, performance, incident and/or accident-related metrics associated with particular activities and/or with particular environments, such as but not limited to: the number and severity of injuries or cost of repairs associated with a particular incident, increases in insurance premiums, a performance rate, an error rate and/or the like.

33. A method for assessing the impact of fatigue on performance, the method comprising:
-
determining an initial model-predicted fatigue level of an individual at an initial time; receiving schedule data for the individual in a future time interval of interest, the schedule data comprising at least one of;
activity schedule data relating to times during the future time interval of interest that the individual is expected to be performing a particular activity; and
sleep schedule data relating to times during the future time interval of interest that the individual is expected to be sleeping;determining a future model-predicted fatigue level of the individual at a future time, the future time after the initial time and during the future time interval of interest; transforming the initial and future model-predicted fatigue levels into initial and future contextual performance metrics by applying a mapping function to the initial and future model-predicted fatigue levels, the mapping function based at least in part on information contained in an historical fatigue database; wherein determining the future model-predicted fatigue level is based at least in part on the schedule data; and wherein the historical fatigue database is populated by records, each record comprising;
a contextual performance metric field comprising a contextual performance metric value obtained from one or more historical events;
a fatigue level field comprising a fatigue level value obtained from one or more individuals associated with the one or more historical events; and
one or more classifier fields comprising record-classification criteria associated with the one or more historical events.

34. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory medium and comprising computer-readable instructions which when executed by a suitable comprises cause the computer to perform a method for assessing the impact of fatigue on performance, the method comprising:
-
determining an initial model-predicted fatigue level of an individual at an initial time; transforming the initial model-predicted fatigue level into an initial contextual performance metric by applying a mapping function to the initial model-predicted fatigue level, the mapping function based at least in part on information contained in an historical fatigue database. - View Dependent Claims (35)
