  • Abstract:
    The T-M process outlined in these studies describes and classifies safety aids that assist operators of modes of transportation that process also includes technical and historical perspectives. However; a simple describing and classifying of safety aids can obscure what is at the core of T-M: T-M is essentially a study of symbolic behavior (see Note No.1). Symbols and what they mean permeate the seemingly practical subject matter of T-M. T-M weaves in and out ofmany disciplines and perspectives. Among established disciplines that of semiotics (see Note No.2) may come closest to explaining the workings of T-M. Communication, design, culture (in particular, material culture), and holarchy also participate in that explanation. Engineering and technology physically undergird T-M.
