Systems and methods for assessing equipment operator fatigue and using fatigue-risk-informed safety-performance-based systems and methods to replace or supplement prescriptive work-rest regulations
First Claim
1. A method for assessing fatigue risk of an individual, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one of current work-rest pattern and sleep data of an individual;
combining the at least one of the current work-rest pattern and the sleep data with previous data related to the individual;
generating a fatigue risk assessment result from the combination of the at least one of the current work-rest pattern and the sleep data and previous data related to the individuals;
generating a diagnostic assessment report on the causation of any excessive fatigue risk;
generating a corrective intervention plan for reducing excessive fatigue risk of the individual based on at least one of the fatigue risk assessment result and the diagnostic assessment report; and
outputting at least one of the fatigue risk assessment result, the diagnostic assessment report, and the corrective intervention plan in a user-readable format to a user.

Abstract
In a system and method for assessing and modifying fatigue, an input device receives current work-rest pattern and/or sleep data from an individual. A data aggregation and processing platform combines the current work-rest pattern and/or sleep data with previous data related to the individual to generate a fatigue assessment result, a diagnostic assessment result, and a corrective intervention result. At least one output display outputs the fatigue assessment result, diagnostic assessment result and corrective intervention result in a user-readable format to a user. The user uses this information to revise the work-rest pattern to reduce or control future fatigue risk.
