This book is a collection of contemporary applications of psychological insights into practical human factors issues. The topics are arranged largely according to an information processing/energetic approach to human behavior. Consideration is also given to human-computer interaction and organizational design.

Handbook of Human Factors for Automated, Connected, and Intelligent Vehicles Subject Guide: Ergonomics & Human Factors Automobile crashes are the seventh leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in over 1.25 million deaths yearly. Automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles have the potential to reduce crashes significantly, while also reducing congestion, carbon emissions, and increasing accessibility. However, the transition could take decades. This new handbook serves a diverse community of stakeholders, including human factors researchers, transportation engineers, regulatory agencies, automobile manufacturers, fleet operators, driving instructors, vulnerable road users, and special populations. It provides information about the human driver, other road users, and human–automation interaction in a single, integrated compendium in order to ensure that automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles reach their full potential. Features Addresses four major transportation challenges—crashes, congestion, carbon emissions, and accessibility—from a human factors perspective Discusses the role of the human operator relevant to the design, regulation, and evaluation of automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles Offers a broad treatment of the critical issues and technological advances for the designing of transportation systems with the driver in mind Presents an understanding of the human factors issues that are central to the public acceptance of these automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles Leverages lessons from other domains in understanding human interactions with automation Sets the stage for future research by defining the space of unexplored questions

Introducing readers to the behavior of drivers, this title covers a wide variety of perspectives on human factors, ranging from the design of roads, vehicles, and traffic control devices to emotional and motivational determinants of driver behavior. This new edition has been extensively revised and contains new chapters on driver education and driver distraction.

Human Factors in Traffic Safety for Highway and Traffic Engineers provides human factors principles and findings for highway and traffic engineers, to allow the non-expert in human factors to bring consideration of the road user's capabilities and limitations more effectively into the practice of design, operations, and safety. It provides data and insights from the scientific literature on the needs, capabilities, and limitations of road users, including perception and effects of visual demands, cognition, and influence of expectations on driving behavior. It bridges the gap between human factors research and practical application, presenting complex psychological insights in an accessible manner. The book begins with part 1 explaining the significance of the traffic safety problem and giving an overview of the importance of human factors in highway design and traffic engineering. Part 2 focuses on different issues of driver information perception and processing, including driver perception of depth and speed, driver's visual search, how road users search for information, and how mental and information load affects drivers' performance. Part 3 provides results of investigations of traffic crash causation and reviews major driver errors. In addition, special chapters describe the research particularly focused on human factors issues in the major crash types: rear-end collisions, angle collisions, and lane departure crashes. Part 4 then describes key principles of road users' considerations during highway design and traffic operation. Finally, Part 5 focuses on safety analysis and assessment, as well as describing in detail the existing methods to evaluate human factors during safety assessments. Professionals in the fields of highway and traffic engineering as well as researchers, policymakers, urban planners, and students will all find this a valuable resource for better understanding how human factors contribute to traffic incidents and how these can be mitigated through design and operational strategies. - Combines between theory and empirical evidence with practical value, giving readers the necessary background as well as practical solutions and actionable data - Translates complex psychological terminology and academic findings into accessible insights, helping practitioners to integrate human-centered design principles effectively into their projects - Provides practitioners with enhanced analytic tools for traffic safety evaluation and development of effective safety countermeasures

Many books focus on individual differences and how those relate to traffic safety such as accident proneness, gender differences, age, alcohol, and the effects of drugs. Others focus on the safety effects regarding the vehicle such as airbags, anti-lock brakes, navigation systems, intelligent cruise control and other new gadgets coming to the vehicle. Even though these topics are undoubtedly important for traffic safety, this book takes a unique approach as it focuses solely on the road environment. Designing Safe Road Systems provides the background for those who want to know more about the effects of road design on driving behaviour. It uses a systems approach to allow a better understanding of why and in what circumstances drivers may commit errors. This understanding will ultimately lead to road systems that prevent (fatal) errors from occurring. The book contains an overview of the current models and theories about human performance and human behaviour in traffic that are relevant for all those involved in designing safe road systems. The central theme of this book is how design principles can reduce the probability of an error while driving. The authors demonstrate how knowledge of human factors helps a road authority to better understand how road users behave. They argue that in many cases the design of the environment can be further adjusted to human capabilities, and that safety should be considered a system property to be built into the road system.
