A FIELD STUDY OF SLEEP RELATED ROAD CRASHES by Diane Flatley j / A Master's Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Master of Philosophy of Loughborough University March2004 © by Diane Flatley 2004 Class 1------·----1Ace No. ·.-. This Thesis is dedicated to my Mum and Dad and to my husband David ii ABSTRACT This study is an assessment of the incidence of Sleep Related Crashes (SRCs) on different roads and different road types. There is no roadside methodology available to 'test' for driver sleepiness and there is no UK system in place for the reporting of crashes caused by driver sleepiness. Accident statistics announced by the Govermnent are dependent upon STATS19, a data collection system that is not required by law, and does not record causation factors. Police collision report forms vary from force to force, with few recording causes. Police officers are not trained to attribute crashes to driver sleepiness. SRCs are, therefore, under-reported. Using established criteria, this thesis presents findings from in-depth analysis of over 2,000 police files on Road Traffic Crashes (RTCs) which occurred on 17 sections of roads of differing classification and with different characteristics. Files were studied for causation factors, and data is presented on severity, sex and age, occupation, vehicles involved, location, and time of day, week and month. Data were analysed to compare and contrast different road types, urban and rural roads, and the effect of differing traffic density, and natural and artificial lighting. Overall, 18% of all RTCs resulting in death or injury were caused by driver sleepiness, and 18% ofall fatal crashes were sleep related. SRCs were more evident on motorways than on non-motorway roads (20% and 14% respectively) and the difference between these proportions was significant. However, these are conservative proportions given that crashes attributed by the police to other causation factors such as tyre blowouts and manoeuvre error may also be caused by drivers falling asleep at the wheel. Approximately half of all crashes between midnight and 0600h were caused by driver sleepiness and almost all (83%) of fatal crashes occurring between 0400-0600h were sleep related. The difference between the proportions of SRCs and RTCs occurring between 0000-0600h was highly significant. However, SRCs were distributed evenly over the 24h period in absolute terms. 68% of SRCs were attributed to car drivers, over one third of drivers in SRCs drove for a living, and almost half of all SRCs were single vehicle crashes. Most SRCs (83%) involved male drivers, and over one third, men s;30y, iii ---- - - ------------------------------- especially during the night and early hours of the morning. Older men and women had crashes later in the day and during the afternoon. Almost half of SRCs involving women occurred during 0800-l400h. Young women drivers aged S30y caused 67% of SRCs on non-motorway roads compared to 35% for all crashes and 39% for SRCs on motorways. 7% of men possible or probably causing SRCs on non-motorway roads were 71y or older. The effectiveness of artificial lighting in reducing road crashes is questionable. Analysis of a subset of data showed only a marginal reduction of RTCs when roadside lighting is present. This was also true for the proportion of RTCs that were SRCs. There was a significantly greater proportion of SRCs during natural daylight than darkness (0530· 0730h). The effect of traffic flow on the number of crashes (all causes) and SRCs showed a trend. As Annual Daily Traffic Flow increased with each of the different sections of roads, the number of RTCs and SRCs also increased. This is true for the proportion of crashes that were SRCs on the non-motorway roads. However, the opposite was true for motorways. Research shows that SRCs are more likely to occur on motorways and although this study supports this, interestingly, SRCs as a proportion of RTCs were reduced on motorways with high traffic flows. This study also shows that SRCs on non-motorway roads occurred with some clustering of crashes on certain sections of roads. Furthermore, SRCs on non-motorways were more likely to result in fatal or serious injuries than on motorways. Hence, drivers need to be aware of the dangers of driving whilst sleepy on non-motorway roads as well as motorways. There needs to be a greater public awareness of driver sleepiness and the dangers of driving whilst sleepy, for all drivers and for all those concerned with driving. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My appreciation and thanks to Professor Jim Home for his support, guidance and supervision.

    The Warrior £2.00 The Newsletter FROM THE LMS-PATRIOT PROJECT Issue 19 • September 2013 Patriot Front End revealed for the first time since 1963 The front of a Patriot was seen for the first time since 1963 when 45551 ‘The Unknown Warrior’ was photographed for a fundraising photoshoot at the Llangollen Railway Works at the end of July. As you will have no doubt seen, this iconic shot adorned the front cover of Steam Railway magazine (Issue 418, published on 16th August) and came about as part of a general appeal to raise £150,000 to complete the bottom end. A new fundraising leaflet was also inserted in every copy of Steam Railway magazine. The smoke box had been finished at LNWR Heritage at Crewe on 29th May and transported to the Llangollen Railway in time for Members’ Day on 15th June (see separate report). The painting was undertaken by Patriot Project and Llangollen Railway Members including Godfrey Hall and John Sandiford. The paint generously sponsored and supplied by Photo by Keith Langston Bromborough Paints. The paint for ‘The Unknown Warrior’ has been kindly supplied by bromboroughpaints.co.uk The Newsletter FROM THE LMS-PATRIOT PROJECT Engineering Update • The driving wheelsets are have been completed by South Devon Railway Engineering and were delivered to Tyseley Loco Works on the 3rd July – the same day that a well-known blue LNER A4 Pacific was making all the headlines!

Next Steps 9 Appendix: Services and Facilities in 10 Central Lincolnshire Settlements 1. Introduction 1.1. A settlement hierarchy ranks settlements according to their size and their range of services and facilities. When coupled with an understanding of the possible capacity for growth, this enables decisions to be taken about the most appropriate planning strategy for each settlement. 1.2. One of the primary aims of establishing a settlement hierarchy is to promote sustainable communities by bringing housing, jobs and services closer together in an attempt to maintain and promote the viability of local facilities and reduce the need to travel to services and facilities elsewhere. A settlement hierarchy policy can help to achieve this by concentrating housing growth in those settlements that already have a range of services (as long as there is capacity for growth), and restricting it in those that do not. 1.3. In general terms, larger settlements that have a higher population and more services and facilities are more sustainable locations for further growth. However, this may not always be the case. A larger settlement may, for example, have physical constraints that cannot be overcome and therefore restrict the scope for further development. Conversely, a smaller settlement may be well located and with few constraints, and suitable for new development on a scale that might be accompanied by the provision of new services and facilities.

Proposed Motorway Service Area, Solihull Road, Hampton In Arden, Solihull Thank you for your correspondence regarding the Highways England response to the above referenced planning application for a new Motorway Service Area (MSA) between Junctions 5 and 6 on the M42 in Solihull. Highways England (“we”) have been appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport as a strategic highway company under the provisions of the Infrastructure Act 2015 and we are the highway authority, traffic authority and street authority for the Strategic Road Network (SRN). As you are aware, following an approximate two year period when we recommended that the application not be determined whilst the applicant addressed a number of outstanding concerns, we subsequently resolved on 21 August 2017 to recommend to you a series of planning conditions which would make the development acceptable to us. You have specifically asked us to provide a comprehensive response to you setting out how we have arrived at our conclusion that the development scheme is now capable of being safely integrated with the SRN such that the safe operation of the motorway including its ‘Smart Motorway’ system would not be adversely affected. Context You will be aware that the application is not the first such MSA proposal to be brought forward for your consideration on this site.
