Human Performance In Automated And Autonomous Systems, 2 Volume Set

This two-volume set addresses a variety of human factors issues and engineering concerns across various real-world applications such as aviation and driving, cybersecurity, and healthcare systems. The contents of these books also present recent theories and methods related to human performance, workload and usability assessment in automated and autonomous systems.

In this set, the authors discuss both current and developing topics of advanced automation technologies and present emerging practical challenges.

Topics covered include unmanned aerial systems and self-driving cars, individual and team performance, human-robot interaction, and operator selection and training. Both practical and theoretical discussions of modern automated and autonomous systems are provided throughout each of the volumes.

These books are suitable for those first approaching the issues to those well versed in these fast-moving areas, including students, teachers, researchers, engineers, and policy makers alike.

Volume 1 - Human Performance in Automated and Autonomous Systems: Current Theory and Methods

Volume 2 - Human Performance in Automated and Autonomous Systems: Emerging Issues and Practical Perspectives
