Presents a practical guidance on state-of-the-art systems thinking
methods Offers case study applications describing systems thinking
methods in novel area Explains how to translate the outputs of
systems thinking methods in practice Introduces systems thinking
with an overview of Human Factors and Ergonomics applications Uses
computational modelling methods in Human Factors and Ergonomics
applications
Governments and road safety agencies around the world have either
introduced or are considering 'safe system' strategies, a long
overdue acknowledgement that different elements of the road system
contribute to road safety outcomes. Human factors approaches have a
leading role here in both conceptualising the road system as a
complex sociotechnical system and in providing practical approaches
to support true systems-based countermeasures. This book
illustrates the potential for integrating contemporary
systems-based human factors methods with modern day
driving-assessment methods, such as vehicle instrumentation and
driving simulation, to understand and enhance performance in modern
day road-transport systems. The book outlines why a fundamental
paradigm shift is needed in the way these systems are designed and
operated, and illustrates how a wide range of accepted
human-factors approaches can be applied successfully to road
transport to revolutionise the countermeasure design process. The
practical illustrations of these human factors methods are applied
to a long-standing road and rail safety issue: rail level
crossings, where the road and rail systems intersect. The final
chapter of the book highlights the utility of the human factors
approach to reducing road trauma and discusses future applications
of the approach.
