<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are lots of references to personal fatigue monitoring systems currently under development.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They want to move from current locomotive alerters to real-time monitoring and feedback of individual alertness levels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And they want to extend this to all crewmembers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t find a clear definition of what they mean by crewmembers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But they do want sleep disorder fatigue prevention for everyone working in safety sensitive jobs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So by default, that requires the silver bullet, assuming that real-time monitoring is applied to the problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Based on that, I conclude that the silver bullet has been defined as an objective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When and if it is perfected is an open question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">If the silver bullet is not perfected and introduced, they might amend their objective to limit real-time monitoring of individual alertness to employees who work in a seated position, and then rely on screening and treatment for employees who work in active positions, but that requires perfecting the screening / treatment process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Generally, I conclude that the nightshift sleep disorder problem has been defined in a way that makes it unsolvable with current technology.</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span> </span></span></p>
