{"product_id":"human-factors-in-transport-systems","title":"Human Factors in Transport Systems","description":"Human Factors and Ergonomics is a discipline dedicated to understanding the interactions between humans and systems, with the goal of optimizing human well-being and system performance. However, as advanced technologies like AI, automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT) reshape industrial landscapes, these interactions are becoming increasingly complex. This book addresses the urgent need to rethink how Human Factors can navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by this new era of interconnected and unpredictable systems. Across three parts, the book begins by exploring the limitations of current Human Factors methods in addressing the complexities introduced by Industry 4.0 technologies. Through detailed case studies, it highlights the critical role Human Factors plays in designing and integrating these innovations while exposing the gaps in its existing toolkit. The second part introduces a methodological approach underpinned by computational modelling, offering a practical solution to engage with complex sociotechnical systems, using the modern railway as the conceptual proving ground. The book concludes with a practical discussion on how Human Factors integration frameworks must evolve alongside computational methodologies, giving readers insights and ideas for ensuring the discipline remains relevant and impactful in the face of technological change. Readers of this title will gain a clear understanding of how Human Factors can adapt to optimize human and system outcomes in this evolving landscape. Human Factors in Transport Systems: New Methods for the Industry 4.0 Era is essential for professionals, researchers, and students in Human Factors, Ergonomics, and related fields who are grappling with the challenges posed by Industry 4.0. It is also useful for industry leaders and system designers.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58801586176335,"sku":"9781041365570","price":248.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/human-factors-in-transport-systems","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
