Human Factors

The Human Factors Research Cluster focuses on the human interactions with infrastructure and conveyances that operate over them. This website has been created to provide the opportunity for the DOT community to share research ideas and programs related to human factors in transportation.

 

This cluster is maintained by the DOT Human Factors Coordinating Committee (HFCC).  The HFCC's mission is to enhance awareness understanding, application and evaluation of human factors in transportation.  For more information on HFCC, please visit http://hfcc.dot.gov.

If you would like to participate in this HF Research Cluster by posting your research and commenting on the work of others, please click the button below. If you have any questions or comments, please contact research.clusters@dot.gov.
