Human Factors Research and Applications
Many human performance issues are crosscutting and will
benefit from a multi-modal approach. DOT needs coordinated human factors
research to permit large research efforts that modes cannot support
individually, to address multi-modal transportation issues, as well as to
advocate for timely human factors research in transportation system solutions
to include:
- Identifying and evaluating inter-relationships
between humans and current and emerging automation technology to improve
transportation system safety, security and productivity.
- Identifying, developing and applying best
practices in human systems integration.
- Conducting research in areas which have
cross-modal applicability including:
- Implementation experience with Operator Fatigue
Management tools
- Information overload, distraction
- Impairment (e.g., fatigue, drugs, alcohol,
health)
- Delivery of weather information
- Certification of electronic devices
- Close call reporting system(s)
- Human factors tool kits
- Visibility; LED's, changeable message signs
