Opis

The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Programme is a cooperative effort by government, private industry and academia to apply advanced technology to resolving the problems of surface transportation. The objective is to improve travel efficiency and mobility, enhance safety, conserve energy, provide economic benefits and protect the environment. The current demand for mobility has exceeded the available capacity of the roadway system. Because the highway system cannot be expanded, except in minor ways, the available capacity must be used more efficiently to handle the increased demand. ITS will apply advanced information processing, communications, sensing and computer control technologies to the problems of surface transportation. Considerable research and development efforts will be required to produce these new technologies and to convert technologies developed in the defence and space programmes to solve surface transportation problems.

Recenzje

"This excellent, well-integrated survey of current knowledge of human factors in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is authoritatively written by many different experts....Excellent chapters are provided on advanced traveler information systems (ATIS), crash avoidance systems, commercial vehicles, automated highway systems, traffic management centers, and survey and modeling methods for evaluating the design and usability of ITS systems. A valuable, comprehensive presentation of existing human factors guidelines relevant to the design of ATIS systems is also provided. The subject and author indexes and bibliography are extensive and first-rate."
—CHOICE

"...the book is full of interesting information that should be useful also to designers of intelligent transportation systems outside the United States. "Human Factors in Intelligent Transportation Systems provides a useful and broad overview of the subject and may serve as both a introduction to the field as well as reference for the expert."
