This book presents the Human Factors methodologies and applications thereof that can be utilised across the design, modelling and evaluation stages of the design lifecycle of new technologies entering future commercial aircraft.As advances are made to the architecture of commercial aircraft cockpits, Human Factors on the Flight Deck argues that it is vitally important that these new interfaces are safely incorporated and designed in a way that is usable to the pilot. Incorporation of Human Factors is essential to ensuring that engineering developments to avionic systems are integrated such that pilots can maintain safe interactions while gaining information of value. Case study examples of various technological advancements during their early conceptual stages are given throughout to highlight how the methods and processes can be applied across each stage.The text will be useful for professionals, graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of aviation, Human Factors and ergonomics.

Driver Distraction: A Sociotechnical Systems Approach promotes a sociotechnical systems approach to driver distraction. This perspective focuses on analysis of the whole system, its values, and the interactions between human and technical elements at all organisational levels. The book covers the role that the sociotechnical system plays in the theory, study and mitigation of driver distraction. The book will be of interest to accident and incident investigation researchers and practitioners. Provides a review of the current state of driver distraction researchDescribes the development, application, and validation of a novel model of driver distraction that accounts for the sociotechnical systemDiscusses a new, systems-based, driver distraction definitionExplains AcciMap analysis of the current legislation on driver distraction from technological devicesOffers novel approaches to understanding why driver distraction occursPresents a extensive framework of the causal factors that lead to distraction informed by drivers
