The Fatigue Calculator forecasts the likelihood of fatigue over a 24-hour period. Based on Prior Sleep Wake Algorithm, it is a international fatigue assessor that is legally and scientifically defensible; and is endorsed by Centre for Sleep Research and the University of South Australia.
This is the corporate version of the Fatigue Calculator and requires a user name and password from www.fatiguecalculator.com.au. Once you have registered, data can be sent to the listed email address and the Fatigue Manager reporting system. Registering usernames and passwords is $24.95. (Fatigue Manager reporting will be available mid-2011)
You can also download a version of the Fatigue Calculator that does not collect data for $4.99.
When used at the beginning of a work shift, the Fatigue Calculator will forecast what an individual’s fatigue score will be for their entire shift and commute home. This allows for planned management of fatigue in the workplace without negatively impacting on production or operations. The Fatigue Calculator is currently being used by corporations and governments all over the world including the United States Army, United Pacific Railroad, Queensland Rail, BHB Billiton and Qantas.
