PREDICTIVE FATIGUE RISK MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A method for identifying a conflict between a predetermined schedule for a vehicle operator and a projected vehicle operation capability for the operator, the method comprising:
- receiving a fatigue profile for the vehicle operator, wherein the fatigue profile characterizes a vehicle operation capability of the vehicle operator based on time;
identifying a schedule of one or more vehicle operations that the vehicle operator is scheduled to perform;
for the one or more vehicle operations, analyzing past instances of the vehicle operation to identify one or more parameters for operating variances;
based on the identified one or more parameters and the fatigue profile, projecting a vehicle operation capability value for the vehicle operator; and
outputting the projected vehicle capability value.

Abstract
Method, system, and computer program product for predicting fatigue of personnel relative to a schedule for the personnel. A fatigue profile can be predicted for various personnel and an operations schedule can be arranged for each of the personnel that does not exceed the respective fatigue profiles. Past instances of the various operations can be analyzed to determine parameters for operations variances. In the event an operations variance occurs during a current operation, a likelihood that the operations variance will propagate to future vehicle operations can be determined. In the event that a current operations variance will result in variances to future operations and such future variances can cause a vehicle operator to exceed a fatigue point in time in his fatigue profile, a warning can be output to a vehicle scheduler. A recommendation for a personnel change can also be output to the vehicle scheduler.
