Even to the casual observer of the automotive industry, it is clear
that driving in the 21st century will be radically different from
driving as we know it today. Significant advances in diverse
technologies such as digital maps, communication links, processors,
image processing, chipcards, traffic management, and vehicle
positioning and tracking, are enabling extensive development of
intelligent transport systems (ITS). Proponents of ITS view these
technologies as freeing designers to re-define the role and
function of transport in society and to address the urgent problems
of congestion, pollution, and safety. Critics, on the other hand,
worry that ITS may prove too complex, too demanding, and too
distracting for users, leading to loss of skill, increased
incidence of human error, and greater risk of accidents.
The role of human factors is widely acknowledged to be critical to
the successful implementation of such technologies. However, too
little research is directed toward advancing the science of
human-ITS interaction, and too little is published which is useful
to system designers. This book is an attempt to fill this critical
gap. It focuses on the intelligent driver interface (IDI) because
the ergonomics of IDI design will influence safety and usability
perhaps more than the technologies which underlie it.
The chapters cover a broad range of topics, from cognitive
considerations in the design of navigation and route guidance, to
issues associated with collision warning systems, to monitoring
driver fatigue. The chapters also differ in intent -- some provide
design recommendations while others describe research findings or
new approaches for IDI research and development. Based in part on
papers presented at a symposium on the ergonomics of in-vehicle
human systems held under the auspices of the 12th Congress of the
International Ergonomics Association, the book provides an
international perspective on related topics through inclusion of
important contributions from Europe, North America, and Japan.
Many of the chapters discuss issues associated with navigation and
route guidance because such systems are the most salient and
arguably the most complex examples of IDI. However, the findings
and research methodologies are relevant to other systems as well,
making this book of interest to a wide audience of researchers,
design engineers, transportation authorities, and academicians
involved with the development or implementation of ITS.
This book presents the proceedings of the 21st Congress of the
International Ergonomics Association (IEA 2021), held online on
June 13-18, 2021. By highlighting the latest theories and models,
as well as cutting-edge technologies and applications, and by
combining findings from a range of disciplines including
engineering, design, robotics, healthcare, management, computer
science, human biology and behavioral science, it provides
researchers and practitioners alike with a comprehensive, timely
guide on human factors and ergonomics. It also offers an excellent
source of innovative ideas to stimulate future discussions and
developments aimed at applying knowledge and techniques to optimize
system performance, while at the same time promoting the health,
safety and wellbeing of individuals. The proceedings include papers
from researchers and practitioners, scientists and physicians,
institutional leaders, managers and policy makers that contribute
to constructing the Human Factors and Ergonomics approach across a
variety of methodologies, domains and productive sectors. This
volume includes papers addressing the following topics: Transport
Ergonomics and Human Factors, Practitioner Case Studies, Human
Factors in Robotics, Manufacturing, Agriculture, HF/E in Supply
Chain Design and Management, Aerospace, Building and Construction.

Using ergonomics in forensics can help prevent the recurrence of
system failures through engineering or administrative controls. It
can also raise the level of concern among professionals and the
public regarding product, workplace, and service safety due to
perceived exposure to liability. Even with such a potentially
important and broad impact, forensic human factors is a subject
that is neither taught nor systematically practiced. There is
little documentation to help develop a knowledge of the field in a
systematic way, nor is there a large pool of qualified
practitioners. The Handbook of Human Factors in Litigation provides
a comprehensive reference that provides the tools necessary for the
preparation, analysis, and presentation of forensic evidence.
Compiled by experienced, internationally respected authors, this
handbook represents the state-of-the-art in the application of
ergonomics to forensic investigation. It contains information on
the litigation process, forensic approaches and methods, important
scientific data in the major application areas, and valuable case
studies. For legal and forensic practitioners, this handbook will
serve as an indispensable reference and as the foundation for
further development of formal study in the field. For product and
workplace designers and managers, it is a useful tool in the
management of exposure to liability.
