Managing risk in crew rostering goes beyond relying solely on scientific reports. Instead, a practical approach involves employing bio-mathematical models as a valuable 'proxy' for scientific insights. These models facilitate dynamic comparisons of alternative sequencing of activities on rosters, guiding operators to control risks to an "As Low As Reasonably Practicable" (ALARP) level.
However, choosing the right model is a nuanced process. Beyond price considerations, factors such as validation, applicability, performance, references, and the vendor's longevity must be carefully evaluated. To aid in this decision-making process, we recommend utilizing the model comparison matrix provided herein. This tool can complement your side-by-side evaluation of fatigue model properties, ensuring a comprehensive and informed selection process.
