Effective transport signs can organize the overload of visual information that impinges on drivers' senses. The Human Factors of Transport Signs is an easily-accessible information source for professionals who design these signs.
By exploring new technologies that are revolutionizing signaling, the authors help ensure that the signs don't become stimuli that only increase traffic confusion. Although the text concentrates largely on the road environment and general signing issues, it also addresses specific railway and other transport modality signing issues. It covers driver psychology and interaction of transport signs as well as the strengths and problems of different types of signs.
It gathers and presents information relating to aspects of human behaviour that are already accessible within other disciplines but that have not been specifically pulled together in relation to the topic of transport signs. The authors provide logical and clear discussions on human behaviour in both leisure and business settings and in terms of roads, rail and aviation. …this publication is a comprehensive and effective source of information relating to the design and installation of transport signs.
Supported with citations, historical references, and empirical evidence, the content is a good primer for academics, stakeholders, and practitioners. … a new work that targets the human factors practitioner as well as transport signage stakeholders. Readers are invited to ponder both present-day and future challenges in the evolving transportation paradigms. … Chapters are organized in reference to end users, design, development, and deployment as well as to the obvious domain categories such as railroad, airport, and motorway signage. … Readers should become excited at the opportunities for signage improvement suggested by this book.
