Preliminary Human Factors Guidelines for Automated Highway System Designers(Second Edition) Volume 1. Guidelines for AHS Designers

摘要

Human factors can be defined as 'designing to match the capabilities andlimitations of the human user.' The objectives of this human-centered design process are to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of system performance, ensure a high level of safety, and maximize user acceptance. These objectives are achieved by systematically applying relevant information and principles about human abilities, characteristics, behavior, and limitations to specific design problems. This handbook provides a source document for automated highway system (AHS) designers that will facilitate a human-centered design process for the AHS. It is the second edition of these guidelines (first edition is report RD-94-116) and includes the addition of key AHS attributes proposed by the National Automated Highway System Consortium, updates to the chapter on general guidelines for electronic visual displays, and the addition of several operational guidelines.
