“…For example, the US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that if just one-half of personal car trips of one mile or less were replaced by walking or biking, the nation could save nearly $1 billion in driving costs and prevent about 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. 84 A deliberate program of research is needed to identify strategies for such modal shifts and assessing their health and climate impact. Such research could include modeling to identify where modal shifts could be most convenient for travelers and which types of shifts would yield the greatest benefits, as well as surveys to reveal the types of messages or incentives that would be most effective for motivating changes in modal choice.…”

“…Many of the changes that would be necessary to shift US dependence on personal cars, such as widespread availability of pedestrian‐ and bicycle‐friendly infrastructure and efficient public transit, are high‐cost and long‐term aspirations, while others could be accomplished quickly with available resources. For example, the US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that if just one‐half of personal car trips of one mile or less were replaced by walking or biking, the nation could save nearly $1 billion in driving costs and prevent about 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year 84 …”

Traditional approaches to addressing motor vehicle crashes are yielding diminishing returns. A comprehensive strategy known as the Safe Systems approach shows promise in both advancing safety and equity and reducing motor vehicle crashes.r In addition, a range of emerging technologies, enabled by artificial intelligence, such as automated vehicles, impairment detection and telematics hold promise to advance road safety.r Ultimately, the transportation system will need to evolve to provide the safe, efficient, and equitable movement of people and goods without reliance on private vehicle ownership, towards encouraging walking, bicycling and the use of public transportation.

Individuals and society are dependent on transportation. Individuals move about their world for work, school, healthcare, social activities, religious and athletic events, and so much more. Society requires the movement of goods, food, medicine, etc. for basic needs, commerce, cultural and political exchanges, and all of its dynamic, complex elements. To meet these critical daily demands, the transportation system operates globally and around-the-clock. Regardless of their role, a basic requirement for the individuals operating the transportation system is that they are awake and at optimal alertness. This applies to individuals driving their own cars, riding a bike or motorcycle, as well as pilots of commercial aircraft, train engineers, long-haul truck drivers, and air traffic controllers. Alert operators are a basic requirement for a safe and effective transportation system. Decades of scientific and operational research have demonstrated that the 24/7 scheduling demands on operators and passengers of our transportation system create sleep and circadian disruptions that reduce alertness and performance and cause serious safety problems. These challenges underly the longstanding interest in transportation safety by the sleep and circadian scientific community. An area currently offering perhaps the most significant opportunities and challenges in transportation safety involves vehicle technology innovations. This paper provides an overview of these latest innovations with a focus on sleep-relevant issues and opportunities. Drowsy driving is discussed, along with fatigue management in round-the-clock transportation operations. Examples of cases where technology innovations could improve or complicate sleep issues are discussed, and ongoing sleep challenges and new safety opportunities are considered.
