Bus Driver Fatigue & Wellbeing Innovation Challenge

Tender description

<p>TfL and the operators want to improve engagement with health promotion initiatives and uptake of preventive interventions to reduce the risk of diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease as well addressing known issues around wellbeing and fatigue for drivers.</p> <p>We are keen to find innovative solutions which can prevent incidents of driver fatigue on the London bus network and/or improve driver&rsquo;s health and wellbeing.</p> <p>Innovative solutions should focus on addressing fatigue and the wellbeing of the driver prior to the driver starting on their route. We prefer solutions that are not dependant on changes to the vehicle.</p> <p>The successful innovators will be working alongside our bus operators following the completion of a successful competitive application process. Trials will enable Innovators to refine their Solution and prove its efficacy in the real world. They will be also be working with TfL, as well as Bus Operators, with TfL providing access to data, assets where possible and expertise.</p> <p>Competitive application process:</p> <ul> <li>Responses to this questionnaire will be used to provide a short list of innovators</li> <li>Short listed innovators will be invited to present their solutions to TfL and Bus Operators a Teams virtual meeting, which will be recorded.</li> <li>TfL experts and Bus Operators and will review presentations and may wish to ask for further clarifications or questions.</li> </ul> <p>Bus Operators will then identify which solutions they wish to trial on their network and engage with Innovators to arrange and agree next steps.</p> <p>Solutions:</p> <p>We are keen to see a range of solutions, this could include off the shelf solutions, new innovations that have not yet been deployed in the real world, and technologies that would address fatigue and the wellbeing of the driver prior to the driver starting on their route.</p> <p>If you are interested in applying, &nbsp;please complete a short questionnaire, by clicking <a href="https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v2W9H-9d6k6mkqCJwlU0a8jz-I6KvgVGk8q5VoUKgctUNExURzAxVVI3T1pOSkE3RzNVUEFUSDlOTC4u">here</a></p> <p><a href="https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v2W9H-9d6k6mkqCJwlU0a8jz-I6KvgVGk8q5VoUKgctUNExURzAxVVI3T1pOSkE3RzNVUEFUSDlOTC4u">https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v2W9H-9d6k6mkqCJwlU0a8jz-I6KvgVGk8q5VoUKgctUNExURzAxVVI3T1pOSkE3RzNVUEFUSDlOTC4u</a></p> Keywords: fatigue, marketing, inovation
