Abstract:The program implements DOT Human Factors Coordinating Committee (HFCC) recommendations for a coordinated Departmental Human Factors Research Program to advance the human-centered systems approach for enhancing transportation safety. Human error is a leading contributing factor in the majority of transportation crashes. This DOT
initiative will develop technologies, methods and systems to mitigate human error and improve
operator performance for both the noncommercial and commercial operators of transportation
vehicles, equipment and systems. The goal of the program is to achieve a systematic
implementation of results in transportation practice and produce a one third reduction in
transportation incidents that result in fatalities, injuries, and property damage within 10 years
after full implementation.
