REGNE UNIT – " Bus Driver Fatigue & Wellness Innovation Challenge"- LON-319639
Transport for London's latest Innovation challenge is exploring Bus driver fatigue and wellbeing. Fatigue is thought to be a contributing factor for road traffic collisions in London, with 21% of surveyed London bus drivers stating that they have to fight sleepiness at least 2-3 times a week. Health and wellbeing was highlighted as an area to build on in the UCL report commissioned by TfL looking into the death of bus drivers as a result of COVID 19. TfL and the Bus operators want to improve engagement with health promotion initiatives and uptake of interventions to manage diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease as well addressing known issues around wellbeing for drivers. As such, they are looking for innovative solutions that can reduce incidents of driver fatigue occurring and/or improve driver's health and wellbeing. Novel solutions which can achieve the objective and scale are to be the main focus of this innovation competition. jstrubell@catalonia.com
