Taking the field of human factors and ergonomics beyond state of
the art, this volume focuses on advances in the use of ergonomics
modeling and on the evaluation of usability, which is a critical
aspect of any human-technology system. The research described in
the book's 70 chapters is an outcome of dedicated research by
academics and practitioners from around the world, and across
disciplines. The chapters are organized under five sections: I.
Models and Methods II. Vision and Visual Displays , III. Product
Design and User Interfaces IV. Input Devices and Computer Based
Systems V. Individual and Environmental Technology Related Issues.
This work provides an invaluable resource for evaluating products
and environments and designing future ones that are intuitive,
safe, and easy to use. Seven other titles in the Advances in Human
Factors and Ergonomics Series are: Advances in Human Factors and
Ergonomics in Healthcare Advances in Applied Digital Human Modeling
Advances in Cross-Cultural Decision Making Advances in Cognitive
Ergonomics Advances in Occupational, Social and Organizational
Ergonomics Advances in Human Factors, Ergonomics and Safety in
Manufacturing and Service Industries Advances in Neuroergonomics
and Human Factors of Special Populations
Even with today's mobile technology, most work is still undertaken
in a physical workplace. Today's workplaces need to be healthy
environments that minimize the risks of illnesses or injuries to
occupants to compete in the marketplace. This necessitates the
application of good ergonomics design principles to the creation of
effective workplaces, and this is the focus of this book. This book
will: * Focus on ergonomic design for better health and ergonomic
design for better productivity * Presents environments that support
new ways of working and alternative workplace strategies, as well
as the impacts of new technologies * Covers the role of ergonomics
design in creating sustainable workplaces * Includes ergonomics
design for a wide variety of workplaces, from offices to hospitals,
to hotels to vehicles, etc... * Shows the design principles on how
to design and create a healthy and productive workplace The market
lacks an ergonomics design book that covers the topics that this
book will cover. This book summarizes design principles for
practitioners, and applies them to the variety of workplace
settings described in the book. No other book currently on the
market does that.

Research suggests that ergonomists tend to restrict themselves to
two or three of their favorite methods in the design of systems,
despite a multitude of variations in the problems that they face.
Human Factors and Ergonomics Methods delivers an authoritative and
practical account of methods that incorporate human capabilities
and limitations, environmental factors, human-machine interaction,
and other factors into system design. The Handbook describes 83
methods in a standardized format, promoting the use of methods that
may have formerly been unfamiliar to designers. The handbook
comprises six sections, each representing a specialized field of
ergonomics with a representative selection of associated methods.
The sections highlight facets of human factors and ergonomics in
systems analysis, design, and evaluation. Sections I through III
address individuals and their interactions with the world. Section
IV explores social groupings and their interactions (team methods),
and Section V examines the effect of the environment on workers.
The final section provides an overview of work
systems-macroergonomics methods. An onion-layer model frames each
method; working from the individual, to the team, to the
environment, to the work system. Each chapter begins with an
introduction written by the chapter's editor, offering a brief
overview of the field and a description of the methods covered. The
Handbook provides a representative set of contemporary methods that
are valuable in ergonomic analyses and evaluations. The layout of
each chapter is standardized for ease-of-use, so you can quickly
locate relevant information about each method. Content descriptions
are brief, and references are made to other texts, papers, and case
studies. Standard descriptions of methods encourage browsing
through several potential methods before tackling a problem.
