Air traffic controllers (ATCs) provide airlines pilots with safety-related flying information during the flights. ATCs, physical and mental status has a direct impact on their work performances. ATCs provide all-year round services and work around the clock on rotating shifts. Frequent getting up early, staying up late, and working night shifts make ATCs have insufficient sleep and physical and mental fatigue. This research studies the factors result in ATC work fatigue by surveying ATCs of the Taipei Area Control Center and the Taipei Approach Control with questionnaires. The results show that ATCs, physical fatigue was mainly caused by their rotating shift work characteristics and the younger ATCs had higher tolerability for physical work fatigue. Furthermore, ATCs of the Taipei Area Control Center perceived higher degree of fatigue impacts from their organizational and personal factors than ATCs of the Taipei Approach Control. |
