Fatigue poses a persistent safety challenge for long-haul truck drivers, significantly elevating the risk of highway crashes and compromising daily work performance. This study investigates the factors influencing driver injury severity in single-large truck crashes due to fatigued driving, compared with non-fatigued driving (normal driving). Using Florida crash data from 2011 to 2019 (inclusive), covering both fatigue and non-fatigue-related crashes, this analysis employs random parameters logit models to account for potential unobserved heterogeneity in means and variances. A comprehensive array of factors affecting driver injury severity, including spatial and temporal characteristics, vehicle and traffic attributes, roadway conditions, and driver-specific characteristics, are examined. Strikingly, different parameter estimates emerge for fatigue and non-fatigue-related crashes, indicating fundamental dissimilarities in unobserved heterogeneity in large truck crash data. The estimated model results unveil distinct marginal effects between fatigued and non-fatigued driving, particularly concerning severe injury crashes, suggesting significant variation in driver behavior based on fatigue levels. These findings contribute substantially to the growing literature on the intrinsic disparities between fatigued and non-fatigued driving behaviors. Moreover, this research underscores the potential ramifications of these distinctions on the safety performance of commercial trucks, highway safety technologies, and policy-related safety countermeasures. Understanding the unique characteristics of fatigued driving can inform targeted interventions to bolster safety within the commercial trucking industry and mitigate the impact of severe crashes resulting from fatigued driving.
