The Boeing Alertness Model (BAM) is the only fatigue model used operationally today for pro-actively reducing fatigue risk by guiding industry-strength optimizers in real-time to produce best possible crew rosters. With that, BAM has also become the most used model - now quickly approaching the milestone of 100 trillion (!) flights assessed by the model.
BAM has many other unique capabilities, such as using a more detailed representation of light exposure for estimating the true acclimatization by crew to a new locale, rather than relying solely on geo-political time zones like other models do. Other examples are highly configurable output metrics and detailed controls for correctly representing actual sleep - all working at high speed in live interaction with planning optimizers. To make a real difference for crew planning, rather than only measuring afterwards.
BAM is available free-of charge for small-scale personal use in the CrewAlert app on Appstore - so you are welcome to try it out there. Reading the predictions coming out of BAM can be somewhat overwhelming at first, so here's a guide explaining what you will see after feeding in, or loading, your roster activities.
Welcome to contact us through your Boeing representative for a discussion and demo on how we can assist you to better plan your crew.
