The ubiquitous nature of transport signs on roadways, railways, and
in airports can lead to an overload of visual information, yet
little research has been done to understand the design and use of
such signs from a driver's perspective.
The Human Factors of Transport Signs explores key transport sign
research and examines new technologies that are revolutionizing
signaling. While concentrating largely on the road environment and
general signing issues, the authors also address specific railway
and other transport modality topics. International contributors
discuss driver psychology and interaction with transport signs as
well as the strengths and weaknesses of different types of
signs.
This text is designed to be an easily-accessible information
source for professionals in transportation design, highway
engineering, applied psychology, and human factors, as well as for
students preparing to enter these fields.
Features: Summarizes the main findings about transport signs
into an easily-accessible resource Covers transport signs in the
road, rail, and aviation fields Reviews new technology in the
field, including Variable Message Signs and Intelligent Transport
Systems Discusses the main evidence detailing the interaction of
transport signs and driver behavior
