Since the very earliest years of aviation, it was clear that human
factors were critical to the success and safety of the system. As
aviation has matured, the system has become extremely complex.
Bringing together the most recent human factors work in the
aviation domain, Advances in Human Aspects of Aviation covers the
design of aircrafts for the comfort and well being of the
passenger. The book discusses strategies and guidelines for
maximizing comfort, the design of aircrafts including cockpit
design, and the training and work schedules for flight attendants
and pilots. It is becoming increasingly important to view problems
not as isolated issues that can be extracted from the system
environment, but as embedded issues that can only be understood as
a part of an overall system. In keeping with a system that is vast
in its scope and reach, the chapters in this book cover a wide
range of topics, including: Interface and operations issues from
the perspectives of pilots and air traffic controllers,
respectively. Specific human performance issues, studied from
within the context of the air transportation system Issues related
to automation and the delineation of function between automation
and human within the current and future system The U.S. air traffic
modernization effort, called NextGen Diverse modeling perspectives
and methods Safety and ethics as driving factors for change
Cognition and work overload Empirical research and evaluation of
the air transportation domain As air traffic modernization efforts
begin to vastly increase the capacity of the system, the issues
facing engineers, scientists, and other practitioners of human
factors are becoming more challenging and more critical. Reflecting
road themes and trends in this field, the book documents the latest
research in this area.
More and more the most traditional and typical applied ergonomics
issues of the activities related to sea shipping, vehicle driving,
and flying are required to deal with some emerging topics related
to the growing automatism and manning reduction, the ICT's advances
and pervasiveness, and the new demographic and social phenomena,
such as aging or multiculturalism. With contributions from expert
researchers, professionals, and doctoral students from a wide
number of countries such as Australia, Austria, Canada, Italy,
Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UK and USA, this
multi-contributed book will explore traditional and emerging topics
of Human Factors centered around the maritime, road, rail, and
aviation transportation domains.
