Description

This course introduces students to the wide variety of issues affecting the safety of transportation systems. The course takes a lifecycle approach, beginning with human factors in design, through operation, maintenance and management. The transportation modalities of interest to this course are rail, shipping and aviation, including air traffic control. Students will obtain a solid understanding of how human factors considerations should be integrated into the development process, rather than added as an afterthought or add-on. Case studies will be integrated with theory throughout the course material.
