Readi is Fatigue Science’s predictive fatigue management platform for organizations operating in safety-sensitive industries, including mining and transportation. It uses sleep and work schedule data to forecast each driver’s or operator’s fatigue risk throughout a shift, identifying who is likely to become fatigued and when. Supervisors and operators can then apply targeted countermeasures before fatigue leads to a microsleep or unsafe performance.
The goal is to reduce microsleeps and fatigue-impaired performance. Fewer camera and telematics events help measure whether those countermeasures are working.
An operator can arrive rested and fit for duty but become fatigued later. Circadian rhythms cause alertness to vary throughout the day and night, creating higher-risk periods, particularly during night shifts.
A shift-start assessment cannot show how that risk will change. Readi provides hour-by-hour forecasts so teams can prepare for fatigue that develops during work.
Readi combines fatigue forecasts with advance alerts and countermeasure recommendations. Teams can identify an upcoming high-risk period and take action, such as planning a rest opportunity or adjusting an assignment.
Prediction enables the action; the countermeasure reduces the risk. This allows teams to focus interventions on the operators and times that need them.
Cameras provide another layer of protection by detecting signs of drowsiness and alerting drivers or monitoring teams. But when a microsleep occurs, the operator has already experienced a dangerous lapse in awareness, even if an alert helps prevent a collision.
Readi gives teams an opportunity to intervene before that lapse occurs. Its value applies whether or not cameras are installed.
Camera records help teams track verified microsleep events. A reduction in those events provides evidence of fewer dangerous lapses in alertness. Total alarm counts should be assessed separately because they can include false positives.
Fatigue also affects reaction time and judgment without necessarily triggering a camera alarm. Telematics events—including harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and close following—provide additional measures of driving performance. These events have multiple causes, so teams should evaluate them alongside fatigue forecasts and recorded countermeasures.
Camera and telematics data measure outcomes. Readi enables the earlier interventions intended to improve them.
A microsleep can disrupt operations even when no collision occurs. Work may stop while a supervisor assesses the operator, arranges recovery time, or changes an assignment. Reviewing footage and managing alerts creates additional administrative work.
By enabling timely, targeted countermeasures, Readi helps organizations reduce fatigue risk, support better performance, and avoid these disruptions.
The practical process connects prediction with action:
Fatigue Science’s research across three mine sites connected predicted fatigue levels with microsleep events recorded by in-cab systems. The research supports the use of Readi forecasts to identify higher-risk periods before work begins.
Preventing the lapse in alertness is the objective, while reducing the events and alerts that record it is evidence of progress.
Organizations can reduce microsleep risk by providing adequate sleep opportunities, identifying upcoming fatigue risk, and applying appropriate countermeasures before safety-sensitive work continues. Readi helps teams identify the individuals and periods that need attention.
No. Alertness can change with time awake and circadian rhythms, particularly during night shifts. A forecast across the shift helps supervisors prepare for risk that may arise after work begins.
Readi is a predictive fatigue management platform. It helps teams act on upcoming fatigue risk to reduce microsleeps and impaired performance. Lower camera event rates are one way to evaluate results when cameras are available.
No fatigue management tool can guarantee that every event will be prevented. Readi supports earlier intervention as part of an organization’s broader safety and fatigue management program.
For safety and operations leaders, high volumes of camera or telematics events can signal a deeper concern: operators may be experiencing microsleeps or driving with impaired reactions and judgment.
Readi helps teams address that concern by identifying upcoming fatigue risk and enabling precise countermeasures. The business value is safer work, more effective performance, and fewer fatigue-related disruptions. Event data helps teams measure progress toward those outcomes.
