  • av Warren Brodsky
    830 - 2 475,-

    Explores the everyday use of music listening while driving a car. This title presents the relationship between cars and music in an effort to understand how music behaviour in the car can either enhance driver safety or place the driver at increased risk of accidents.

  • av Guy H. Walker & Neville A. Stanton
    820 - 2 131,-

  • av Helen Wells
    761 - 2 422,-

    Presents a sociological and criminological perspective critical to understanding the driver's role at the centre of road safety interventions. This book offers an explanation for the continued debate about one road safety intervention - the speed camera - by situating that debate within contemporary literature about the 'risk society'.

  • - A Human Factors Perspective
    av Jan Theeuwes, Richard van der Horst & Maria Kuiken
    854 - 2 257,-

    Provides the background for those who want to know more about the effects of road design on driving behaviour. This title uses a systems approach to allow a better understanding of why and in what circumstances drivers may commit errors.

  • - Implications for Ergonomic Car Interface Design
    av Charles Spence & Cristy Ho
    854 - 2 475,-

    Driver inattention has been identified as one of the leading causes for car accidents. This book focuses on two aspects of driver information-processing: multisensory interactions and the spatial distribution of attention in driving.

  • - Design, Evaluation and Social Perspectives
    av Ralf Risser
    854 - 2 344,-

    Problems related to the design and evaluation of intelligent driver support systems (IDSSs) and social perspectives related to their introduction on a large scale may only be fully addressed from a multi-disciplinary point of view. This book provides such knowledge from both a human and social factors background.

  • - Human Factors at the Heart of the Railway
    av John R. Wilson
    2 091,-

    Addresses topics such as: passengers and public; driver performance and workload; driving and cognition; train cab and interfaces: simulation and design; routes, signage, signals and drivability; and more. This book is aimed at those concerned with making railways safer, reliable, of higher quality and efficient.

  • - Unresolved Problems
    av Anders af Wahlberg
    765 - 2 284,-

    Discusses several methodological problems in traffic psychology which are not currently recognized as such. Summarizing and analyzing the available research, this work states that there are a number of commonly made assumptions about the validity of methods that have little backing, and that many basic problems have not been researched at all.

  • - Driving as a Social and Cultural Practice
    av Sarah Redshaw
    916 - 2 284,-

    Describes driving as a social and cultural practice, showing how a cultural studies approach can contribute to a better understanding of driving behaviour and to a more appropriate approach to road-safety policy. This book examines the perspectives that young people in particular have on cars.

  • av Mark Sullman
    868 - 2 396,-

    Traffic psychology has been the focus of research for almost as long as the motor car has been in existence. This volume aims to describe and discuss the advances in the study of traffic psychology, with a major focus on how the field contributes to the understanding of at-risk road-user behaviour.

  • - A Practical Human Factors Guide
    av Anjum Naweed, Dr. Jillian Dorrian & Janette Rose
    765 - 2 447,-

    Currently, the rail industry lacks a standardized approach to the human factors evaluation of new technologies in operational settings. While a number of human factors evaluation methods exist (such as task analysis, situation awareness measures, quasi-experiments), these are rarely tailored to the industry's needs.

  • - Theory, Measurement and Optimisation
    av Tim Horberry
    708 - 2 447,-

  • av Guy H. Walker
    1 960,-

    Driver Feedback in Automotive Engineering presents the outcome of a substantial research project into a relatively neglected area of vehicle design: vehicle feedback. It describes the ¿human factors¿ that lie at the heart of the driver-vehicle interaction, those which help to explain why so many people, with comparatively little training, can drive a car in what is a complex environment, with the appearance of relative ease.

  • - Advances in Research and Countermeasures, Volume 1
    av John D. Lee, Michael A. Regan & Trent W. Victor
    765 - 2 160,-

    In the United States, around 20 percent of all Police-reported road crashes involve driver distraction as a contributing factor. The situation is similar in other countries. This book adds to the accumulating evidence-base on driver distraction and inattention.
