Human Factors and Ergonomics have made a considerable contribution to the research, design, development, operation and analysis of transportation systems which includes road and rail vehicles and their complementary infrastructure, aviation and maritime transportation. This book presents recent advances in the Human Factors aspects of Transportation. These advances include accident analysis, automation of vehicles, comfort, distraction of drivers (understanding of distraction and how to avoid it), environmental concerns, in-vehicle systems design, intelligent transport systems, methodological developments, new systems and technology, observational and case studies, safety, situation awareness, skill development and training, warnings and workload.

Bukhtiyarov I., Kallus K. W., Osokina E. S. et al., , in: Advances in Human Factors and Ergonomics 2014. Proceedings of the 5th AHFE Conference 19-23 July 2014* 1. Vol. 7: Advances in Human Aspects of Transportation.: Louisville: AHFE Conference, 2014. P. 386–392.

The paper provides a review of present-day studies on the problem of pilots’ performance in various flight conditions, with a focus on their methodology. Conceptual frameworks of the studies (concepts of working capacity, functional state and mental workload) are discussed, and different objective and subjective measures and methods used are described. Eye-tracking is regarded with ...
