Fatigue-related traffic crashes refers to a crash caused by drivers falling asleep during driving. Unlike drunk driving or overspeed, driver fatigue is affected by many factors. To identify the contributory factors affecting the occurrence of fatigue-related crashes among professional drivers, a case-control study was conducted. The traffic data used in the study was obtained from Department of Public Security Traffic Administrative Bureau Data System in Jiangxi. Crashes (N=58131) occurring during 2006-2011 were researched, and the data of fatigue-related crashes among professional drivers was extracted. Potential risk factors such as human, environment and road were examined. Professional drivers age and gender, driving year, road pavement type and alignment, terrain, time of the accident and streetlight condition are significant factors impacting the occurrence of fatigue-related crashes. Besides, frontal impact, rear-end collision and bump fixation matter are identified as the most common accident types in all of fatigue-related crashes.
