Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics: Volume 3: Transportation Systems, Medical Ergonomics and Training

by Don Harris (Editor)

Overview

This book is the third in the series and describes some of the most recent advances and examines emerging problems in engineering psychology and cognitive ergonomics. It bridges the gap between the academic theoreticians, who are developing models of human performance, and practitioners in the industrial sector, responsible for the design, development and testing of new equipment and working practices.

Editorial Reviews

This is the first of two volumes of papers from the October 1998 conference. The 53 papers are divided into six parts dealing with the design of the aircraft cockpit interface, air traffic control, aviation psychology, car driver behavior, medical ergonomics, and training. Among the topics are an evaluation of weapon aiming symbology for HMDs and HUDs, the controller's mental picture within the air traffic management environment, analysis of the pilot's monitoring behavior using decision trees, lights versus flags as signals to racing drivers, a comparison of Swedish and Portuguese hospital work environments, and brief Euler circle instruction for solving on-the-job logical problems.
