ABSTRACT
The main aim of this handbook is to provide a comprehensive, authoritative, and practical account of human factors and ergonomics methods. It is intended to encourage people to make full use of human factors and ergonomics methods in system design. Research has suggested that even professional ergonomists tend to restrict themselves to two or three of their favorite methods, despite variations in the problems that they address (Baber and Mirza, 1988; Stanton and Young, 1998). If this book leads people to explore human factors and ergonomics methods that are new to them, then it will have achieved its goal.
