time on task

Time-on-task fatigue: performance decline driven by the DURATION of continuous driving itself — hours at the wheel, task-induced fatigue and disengagement that build regardless of prior sleep. The effect of drive length, distinct from sleepiness (drowsiness) and clock time (circadian_factors).
