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.

Zielgruppe

This book is intended for human factors engineers, ergonomics engineers, and industrial engineers working in the areas of production design, cognitive engineering, psychology, human performance modeling, safety, systems engineering, and transport design. It also would be useful to engineers and specialists working in the different modes of transportation such as maritime engineers, aeronautical engineers, transportation engineers, and aerospace engineers.
