Bücher der Reihe Advances in Human Factors and Ergonomics Series

The primary focus of the Cross Cultural Decision Making field is specifically on the intersections between psychosocial theory provided from the social sciences and methods of computational modeling provided from computer science and mathematics. This book focuses on crucial questions regarding data acquisition.

Focuses on advances in the use of ergonomics modeling and on the evaluation of usability, which is a critical aspect of any human-technology system. This book provides a resource for evaluating products and environments and designing future ones that are intuitive, safe, and easy to use.

Based on research, this book discusses how to improve quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in patient care through the application of human factors and ergonomics principles. It provides guidance for those involved with the design and application of systems and devices for effective and safe healthcare delivery.

Dealing with digital human modeling, this book covers the following subject areas: Applications; Mobility and Universal Access; Physical and Physiological Aspects; Product and Process Design; Motion Analysis; Cognitive Aspects; Human Response and Behavioral Aspects; and, Novel Systems Approaches.

Based on recent research, this book discusses how to improve quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in patient care through application of human factors and ergonomics principles. It provides guidance on the design and application of systems and devices for healthcare delivery, from both a patient and staff perspective. It covers everything from the proper design of bed rails to the most efficient design of operating rooms to analysis of staff-patient interaction. It also supplies a way to improve organizational aspects and approaches to modeling, targeting work aspects specific to healthcare settings.

With contributions from an international group of authors with diverse background, this book covers biometric systems development, military command and control, medical device design, driver processes, and performance of inspection tasks in manufacturing operations; and extend to human-automation integration in aviation systems, training methods for mental models, and use of virtual reality for skill development. This book is of special value to practitioners involved in design process development, prototyping of systems, products, and services, as well as training process design for a range of markets.

Taking the field of human factors and ergonomics beyond state of the art, this volume focuses on advances in the use of ergonomics modeling and on the evaluation of usability, a critical aspect of any human-technology system. The research described in the book¿s 70 chapters is an outcome of dedicated research by academics and practitioners from around the world, and across disciplines. It provides an invaluable resource for evaluating products and environments. This volume is one of seven titles in the Advances in Human Factors and Ergonomics Series.
