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 proces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1: Introduction to the research approach; Chapter 1 – Systems thinking in transport analysis and design; Chapter 2 – An overview of key human factors approaches and methods ; Chapter 3 – An integrated framework for transport analysis and design ; Part 2: Rail level crossing data collection and analysis; Chapter 4 – Understanding the current system; Chapter 5 – A systems analysis of rail level crossings; Part 3: Design of new rail level crossing environments; Chapter 6 – A participatory approach to designing novel rail level crossings; Chapter 7 – Evaluating initial design concepts using the systems models; Chapter 8 – Design refinement; Part 4: Evaluation of design concepts; Chapter 9 – Experimental evaluation of novel design concepts; Chapter 10 – Evaluation of novel design concepts by all road users; Part 5: Conclusions and future applications; Chapter 11 – Summary and conclusions; Chapter 12 – Future applications and opportunities; Appendix - Guidance for using the key human factors methods and approaches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50577845944663,"sku":"9781138749238","price":71.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/integrating-human-factors-methods-and-systems-thinking-for-transport-analysis-and-design-9781138749238","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
