• Abstract:
  The program implements DOT Human Factors Coordinating Committee (HFCC) recommendations for a coordinated Departmental Human Factors Research Program to advance the human-centered systems approach for enhancing transportation safety. Human error is a leading contributing factor in the majority of transportation crashes. This DOT ; initiative will develop technologies, methods and systems to mitigate human error and improve ; operator performance for both the noncommercial and commercial operators of transportation ; vehicles, equipment and systems. The goal of the program is to achieve a systematic ; implementation of results in transportation practice and produce a one third reduction in ; transportation incidents that result in fatalities, injuries, and property damage within 10 years ; after full implementation. ; Color illustrations reproduced in black and white. 24 pages.
