Written clearly and concisely, using jargon-free language that is easily understood, this book compresses research from the past few decades into an accessible resource. It focuses on the concrete cognitive processes of driving, specifically, information acquisition and information processing. The authors delineate the theory, practice, and application of human factors knowledge and psychology to explain human errors that occur when acquiring information from the road environment. The book provides content on highway engineering, new technologies, vehicle, signage, VMS, and safety as well as information about the human factors on errors, situation awareness, workload, and fatigue.
