| 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. |
