• 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.
