Comprehensive survey of the truck transportation process: The impact of team driving on health and safety conditions

The findings of this study demonstrate that a human co-driver positively impacted the drowsiness and alertness levels of truck drivers. Furthermore, improvements were observed in driving and parking performance, alongside a reduction in strenuous tasks and subsequent fatigue. The results conclusively indicate that the presence of a human co-driver significantly enhances health and safety conditions, particularly during the driving stage in comparison to the other stages of the truck transportation process.
