Download or read book Driver Acceptance of New Technology written by Tim Horberry and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-06-12 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acceptance of new technology and systems by drivers is an important area of concern to governments, automotive manufacturers and equipment suppliers, especially technology that has significant potential to enhance safety. To be acceptable, new technology must be useful and satisfying to use. If not, drivers will not want to have it, in which case it will never achieve the intended safety benefit. Even if they have the technology, drivers may not use it if it is deemed unacceptable, or may not use it in the manner intended by the designer. At worst, they may seek to disable it. This book brings into a single edited volume the accumulating body of thinking and research on driver and operator acceptance of new technology. Bringing together contributions from international experts from around the world, the editors have shaped a book that covers the theory behind acceptance, how it can be measured and how it can be improved. Case studies are presented that provide data on driver acceptance of a wide range of new and emerging vehicle technology. Although driver acceptance is the central focus of this book, acceptance of new technology by operators in other domains, and across cultures, is also investigated. Similarly, perspectives are derived from domains such as human computer interaction, where user acceptance has long been regarded as a key driver of product success. This book comes at a critical time in the history of the modern motor vehicle, as the number of new technologies entering the modern vehicle cockpit rapidly escalates. The goal of this book is to inspire further research and development of new vehicle technology to optimise user acceptance of it; and, in doing so, to maximise its potential to be useful, satisfying to use and able to save human life.
Download or read book Use of Advanced In vehicle Technology by Young and Older Early Adopters written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many large vehicles such as SUVs have been added to the U.S. passenger vehicle fleet in recent years, and drivers of these vehicles may not appreciate the full extent of blind spots to the rear of their vehicles. Often there is a substantial blind spot to the rear of a smaller vehicle as well. Backing may be especially difficult for some older drivers who develop reduced flexibility and reduced mobility of the head and neck. One in eight Americans is 65 or older now, and this concern will continue to grow as the American population ages. Many new vehicles are equipped with convenience systems designed to make backing easier. These systems include rear-view cameras and sensor-based backing aids. Although these systems were not developed as safety systems, this study explores several of the safety implications of the technologies. The research reported here was conducted as one part of a broader study to learn more about driver experience with several new in-vehicle technologies. The focus of this study is on how both types of backing aides are being used and how well their capability and limitations are understood, with particular emphasis on the experiences of older drivers.

Download or read book Automation and Human Performance written by Raja Parasuraman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is perhaps no facet of modern society where the influence of computer automation has not been felt. Flight management systems for pilots, diagnostic and surgical aids for physicians, navigational displays for drivers, and decision-aiding systems for air-traffic controllers, represent only a few of the numerous domains in which powerful new automation technologies have been introduced. The benefits that have been reaped from this technological revolution have been many. At the same time, automation has not always worked as planned by designers, and many problems have arisen--from minor inefficiencies of operation to large-scale, catastrophic accidents. Understanding how humans interact with automation is vital for the successful design of new automated systems that are both safe and efficient. The influence of automation technology on human performance has often been investigated in a fragmentary, isolated manner, with investigators conducting disconnected studies in different domains. There has been little contact between these endeavors, although principles gleaned from one domain may have implications for another. Also, with a few exceptions, the research has tended to be empirical and only theory-driven. In recent years, however, various groups of investigators have begun to examine human performance in automated systems in general and to develop theories of human interaction with automation technology. This book presents the current theories and assesses the impact of automation on different aspects of human performance. Both basic and applied research is presented to highlight the general principles of human-computer interaction in several domains where automation technologies are widely implemented. The major premise is that a broad-based, theory-driven approach will have significant implications for the effective design of both current and future automation technologies. This volume will be of considerable value to researchers in human
Download or read book Designing for Older Adults written by Arthur D. Fisk and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-01-14 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As life expectancy increases, older workers and the retired form a large and growing proportion of the world’s population. Professionals working to develop systems and environments need to better accommodate the user needs of the older adult. This new guide provides a practical introduction to human factors and the older adult. It considers the subject primarily from an engineering psychology perspective, heavily grounded in today’s scientific knowledge. The authors show how current understanding of age-related issues of perception, cognition, and movement control can be applied in practice. They also provide a reference source with guidelines and advice for design issues ranging from lighting, computer input device selection, and web site design, to training program development and work task design. The text draws on research-oriented work and presents this in a form that can be used by the broad audience of product designers, health care practitioners, managers, and others who need answers to problems and require sound recommendations for design.

Download or read book What determines green purchase behavior written by Zhongju Liao and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green purchase behavior refers to consumers purchasing green products that are environmentally friendly, using fewer resources, and causing lower environmental impact and risk. As a growing number of people start to recognize the importance of individual responsibility for environmental protection, firms are increasingly motivated to develop green products to fit the needs of this green advocation. Despite an emerging number of consumers claiming their preference towards green brands compared to traditional alternatives, researchers have found that there is a huge gap between consumers’ purchase intention and actual behavior, which has gained much attention. The psychological process of green purchase behavior may be a complicated process influenced by various factors, such as consumer values and norms, the pros and cons marketed for green products, and various other situational factors. Scholars are calling for research that explores the psychological decision-making process of green purchase behavior from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Due to the high pricing of green products, the trade-off between the price and function of green products may lower consumers’ satisfaction. Thus, there is always a gap between green purchase intention and actual purchase behavior. What determines consumers’ actual green purchase behavior? Under what conditions, will the consumers pay a premium price for green products? What prompts consumers to choose green brands over traditional alternatives? Will green consumption be a passing trend or a long-term consumption habit? What influences the frequency of consumers’ green purchasing? Scholars are welcome to share their opinions and findings about green purchase behavior to help explore this research topic. We are extremely interested in the determinants of green purchase behavior and the mechanism of facilitating green consumption considering different perspectives.
