around-the-clock, seven-days-a-week
operation and because a wide array of
workers are needed both to operate and
to maintain the nation’s railroads, other
crafts—besides train and engine crews—
can also be subject to fatigue. The nonoperating crafts, including track
maintenance, signal system
maintenance and telecommunications
and railroad dispatchers, fall into this
second category. FRA is proposing a
study which will focus on railroad
dispatchers, one of the non-operating
railroad crafts. FRA seeks to develop an
understanding of the work schedulerelated fatigue issues that affect railroad
dispatchers. The proposed study has
two primary purposes: (1) It aims to
document and characterize the work/
rest schedules and sleep patterns of the
railroad dispatchers; and (2) It intends
to examine the relationship between
these schedules and level of alertness/
fatigue for the individuals who work
these schedules. The intent is to report
results in the aggregate, not by
individual or railroad. Subjective ratings
from participants of their alertness/
sleepiness on both work and non-work
days will be an integral part of this
study. The data will be collected
through the use of a daily diary or log
completed by participants over a
continuous two-week time period, as
well as through a brief background
questionnaire completed by each

participant. Analysis of the diary data
will allow FRA to assess whether or not
there are any work-related fatigue issues
for railroad dispatchers. The proposed
study will provide a defensible and
definitive estimate of the work/rest
cycle parameters and fatigue in
dispatchers that will inform possible
future FRA regulatory policy and action.
