Abstract:

The "human-centered systems" approach focuses on human capabili

ties and limitations with respect to human/system interfaces, opera

tions, and system integration. The goal is to design transportation

systems that facilitate task completion, so that people can focus on

task performance and not be distracted by the technology. This

encompasses development of a generation of machines that are

adaptable to their human operators, rather than depending on humans

to adapt to machines. By incorporating human performance and

behavior principles into the design, development, and operation of

transportation systems, it will be possible to improve safety while enhancing system performance, with increases in capacity, operational efficiency, and productivity.
