DOWNLOAD EBOOKAutomotive design continues to evolve at a rapid pace. As electric cars become ever more commonplace on the roads to the advent of the driverless vehicle, understanding the ergonomics behind automotive engineering becomes ever more paramount. Vehicle attributes must be considered early during the new vehicle development program by coordinated work of multi- disciplinary teams to begin creating vehicle specifications and development of vehicle attribute requirements. In Ergonomics in the Automotive Design Process: Advanced Topics, Measurements, Modeling and Research, experienced automotive engineer Vivek D. Bhise investigates the advanced procedures and considerations to develop an ergonomic vehicle This book covers the entire range of ergonomics issues involved in designing a car or truck and offers evaluation techniques to avoid costly mistakes and assure high customer satisfaction. This book delves into driver performance, electric vehicles (EVs), interfaces, new technology and costs and benefits plus a lot more. Evaluation and measurement are covered in essential detail and the title has been brought right up to date with chapters on engineering design during automotive product development, vehicle evaluation, verification and validation and product liability litigations and ergonomic considerations. This book is designed to allow the reader to develop a more comprehensive knowledge of issues facing the developers of automotive products and delivers methods to manage communication, coordination and integration processes. Delivering a toolkit that will allow you to implement systems engineering to minimize the risks of delays and cost overruns, it delivers a framework that will allow you to create the right product for your customers. The reader will therefore develop a knowledge of future in-vehicle devices that are easy to program and use, safe, cheap to manufacture and assemble and eco-friendly. This title is an ideal read for students and practitioners of ergonomics, human factors, automotive design, civil engineering, product design, work design and mechanical engineering.This title is an ideal read for students and practitioners of ergonomics, human factors, automotive design, civil engineering, product design, work design and mechanical engineering.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book focuses on the study of secondary task demands imposed by in-vehicle devices on the driver while driving. It provides a mechanism for researchers to evaluate how in-vehicle devices such as navigation systems – as well as other devices such as cell phones – affect driver distraction and impact safety. This book, which features the work presented by international experts at the 4th International Driver Metrics Workshop, in June 2008, offers a summary of the current state of driver metrics research. Edited by workshop moderator Dr. Gary L. Rupp, the book introduces vital information to support the design of in-vehicle information and communication systems (IVIS). Topics covered include: • Driver object and event detection • Peripheral detection tasks (PDT) • Tactile-based detection tasks (TDT) • Modified Sternberg method for assessing visual and cognitive load of in-vehicle tasks • Modified Sternberg method for assessing peripheral detection task and lane change tests • The relationship between performance metrics and crash risk • Characterizing driver behaviors observed in naturalist driving studies • Developing metrics from lane change test studies

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPresenting the Proceedings of the Ergonomics Society's annual conference, the series embraces the wide range of topics covered by ergonomics. Individual papers provide insight into current practice, present new research findings and form an invaluable reference source. A wide range of topics are covered in these proceedings, including Ergonomics, Human Factors and User-Centred Design. It also features related disciplines such as Psychology, Engineering and Physiology. Particular emphasis is given to the utility of these disciplines in improving health, safety, efficiency and productivity. The 2007 Annual Conference features "Human factors at the heart of systems engineering". As well as being of interest to mainstream ergonomists and human factors specialists, Contemporary Ergonomics will appeal to all those who are concerned with the interaction of people with their working and leisure environment including designers, manufacturing and production engineers, health and safety specialists, occupational, applied and industrial psychologists and applied physiologists.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe will be, sooner or later, not only handling personal computers but also mul- purpose cellular phones, complex personal digital assistants, devices that will be context-aware, and even wearable computers stitched to our clothes...we would like these personal systems to become transparent to the tasks they will be performing. In fact the best interface is an invisible one, one giving the user natural and fast access to the application he (or she) intends to be executed. The working group that organized this conference (the last of a long row!) tried to combine a powerful scientific program (with drastic refereeing) with an entertaining cultural program, so as to make your stay in Rome the most pleasant one all round: I do hope that this expectation becomes true. July 2005 Stefano Levialdi, IEEE Life Fellow INTERACT 2005 General Chairman [1] Peter J. Denning, ACM Communications, April 2005, vol. 48, N° 4, pp. 27-31. Editors’ Preface INTERACT is one of the most important conferences in the area of Human-Computer Interaction at the world-wide level. We believe that this edition, which for the first time takes place in a Southern European country, will strengthen this role, and that Rome, with its history and beautiful setting provides a very congenial atmosphere for this conference. The theme of INTERACT 2005 is Communicating Naturally with Computers.
