Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce the 9th International Conference on Managing Fatigue. This biennial conference commenced life in Fremantle in 1992, where it lived before migrating to Seattle in 2005 and Boston in 2009 before returning to Fremantle, Western Australia, in 2011, and again in 2015. While the main emphasis of the meeting has always been on fatigue in transportation, and other industries, such as resources and health, have also been strongly represented. Cross-fertilization of research findings has been a particular strength of our meetings in the past, and will be again in 2015.
The Managing Fatigue conference series is now an established and respected forum for research updates and discussion in the fatigue management community. First convened in 1992 by Associate Professor Laurence Hartley, the meeting was most recently held in Fremantle in 2011. Each conference has primarily focused on the effects of fatigue in the transportation sector and this has involved working in conjunction with organisations such as the “National Road Transport Commission” (NRTC) and the “Australian Transport Safety Bureau” (ATSB). Over the years, the meeting’s focus has also evolved to encompass a wider arena, including sectors such as Aviation, Maritime, Industrial, Resources and Health. The themes of the 2015 conference are managing fatigue in the transportation, resources, and health industries.
