Abstract

Driver Fatigue is one of the leading causes of Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) in Pakistan . An attempt has been made in this research to compare the proportion of driver fatigue related RTC on the Motorways and National Highways of Pakistan. Data were collected from the National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP). Data for 2003 to 2012 of all RTC on Motorways and 2003-2011 on the National Highways (N-5) were examined extensively by applying Australian Transportation Safety Bureau (ATSB) criteria for determining fatigue related RTC. The Total number of RTC on Motorways during 2003-2012 was 1750 out of which 497 were fatigue-related. The total number of RTC on (N-5) during 2003-2011 was 5080 out of which 483 were fatigue-related. The average percentage of fatigue related RTC on Motorways was 28%, however on National Highways (N-5) it was found to be 10%. Fatigue-related RTC is thus more prevalent on the Motorways. It was also discovered that fatigue-related RTC result in mostly fatal accidents on the Motorway (54%) and serious injuries on N-5 (41%).

巴基斯坦国道与高速公路疲劳相关道路交通事故的比较

驾驶疲劳是巴基斯坦道路交通事故的主要原因之一。本研究试图比较巴基斯坦高速公路和国道上驾驶员疲劳相关的RTC的比例。数据收集自国家公路和高速公路警察(NHMP)。采用澳大利亚运输安全局(ATSB)确定疲劳相关RTC的标准，对2003- 2012年高速公路上所有RTC和2003-2011年国道(N-5)上的数据进行了广泛的检查。2003-2012年间，高速公路上的RTC总数为1750起，其中497起与疲劳有关。2003-2011年期间(N-5)上的RTC总数为5080例，其中483例与疲劳相关。在高速公路上，与疲劳相关的RTC平均百分比为28%，而在国道(N-5)上，这一比例为10%。因此，与疲劳相关的RTC在高速公路上更为普遍。研究还发现，与疲劳相关的RTC在高速公路上造成的致命事故最多(54%)，在N-5公路上造成的严重伤害最多(41%)。
