There are many benefits from using standards. Standards help suppliers and customers reduce costs, anticipate technical requirements, and increase productive and innovative efficiency.
Did you know that there is a standard in place for communicating the information needed for alertness/fatigue predictions between an application and a bio-mathematical model?
Well, now you do. That standard is called the Common Alertness Prediction Interface (CAPI) and has been around since 2009. CAPI was designed from the onset to support high-speed communication between crew planning optimizers and fatigue models. It was first used in production for planning airline crew already back in 2011 and has since then been put to use at some 70 different airlines world-wide.
CAPI makes it straightforward to add a fatigue assessment capability to any application that holds pairing or roster data and is in use in solutions running on both Linux, Windows, MacOS and iOS.
We are excited to announce that CAPI is now available to airlines, rail operators, fatigue model vendors and application developers free of charge! The increasing alignment around this standard benefits the industry by making development faster and less expensive, but also creates much needed interchangeability between fatigue models. Adding a model to an application, switching from model A to B, or exchanging a crew planning solution while keeping the existing model, all becomes much more straightforward.
