Fatigue in the air and at sea: comparing impact and regulations in aviation and maritime transport
(University of Žilina, 2024) Maternová, Andrea; Materna, Matúš; Nichtová, Radoslava
Fatigue poses a significant threat to transportation safety across all modes of transport. This paper examines fatigue, its consequences, and the regulatory frameworks addressing this issue, with a focus on the aviation and maritime industries. A comparative analysis is conducted on differences in legislation governing maximum duty hours, mandatory rest periods, and the risks resulting from non-compliance. By highlighting regulatory differences and their implications, this paper underscores the importance of effective fatigue management to enhance safety in both sectors.
Impact of fatigue on pilot reaction time
(University of Zilina, 2022) Sloboda, Peter; Škvareková, Iveta
The main goal of the diploma thesis is to analyze the impact of fatigue on the reaction time of the pilot, its possib;ilities of elimination and ways of solving the problem, which greatly affects safety in air transport. The measurements took place at different times, in the morning and in the afternoon, on the basis of which we will compare the length of the reaction time to visual stimuli affected by fatigue. We performed measurements for safety reasons on the L-410 simulator. The simulator is equipped with two cameras based on which we will analyze the length of the reaction time.
