Abstract
Human factor has appeared as the most important factor in traffic accidents. It has statistically been revealed that the rate of defect in death and injuries of drivers, passengers and pedestrians has reached up to 99%. This has necessitated the analysis of human behaviors in traffic accidents as driver, pedestrian and passengers. In this study, the effect of fatigue and sleeplessness upon behaviors of drivers was investigated. Even driving and resting periods’ being determined with legal regulations could not provide drivers to display adequate level of sensitivity. And this caused drivers to drive until service points or their destination, and therefore the possibility of their being involved in an accident due to sleeplessness and fatigue increased. Suggestions were offered to prevent and decrease these considering the fatal results of traffic accidents.
