Human Factors for Highway Engineers Hardcover - 2002 - 1st Edition

by R. Fuller (Editor); J. A. Santos (Editor)


From the publisher

Humans are highly mobile but at a price: over a million people are killed annually on the road, at least 30 times as many are injured, of whom one in ten may be permanently disabled. How can we design a road or highway or transport system so as to provide both a high level of mobility and a high level of safety? For too long, from the perspective of the road user, highway engineers have had to employ their intuitions, personal experiences, shared "know-how" and a "suck-it-and-see" approach in many elements of highway design. Now the science of human behaviour can provide both fundamental knowledge and principles to enable matching roadway and transport system design to human strengths, limitations and variability in performance; an understanding of human contributory factors in accidents; and the undertaking of informed safety audits and reviews. This book aims to help you ask the right questions about the issues raised.

First line

Imagine someone enthusiastically bursting into your office with the news that they had invented a new system of transportation on land, a system that was cheap for users but which also offered a range of extra benefits depending on how much you were prepared to pay, a system that could be used by young and old alike to enhance their mobility and enable them to cover large distances in a reasonable time, a system that was usable at all times and in all but the most severe weather conditions.
