Survive the Drive!
Driving is a daily routine for more than 200 million people in the U.S. alone, but it is far from a mundane task: Every time drivers hit the road, they face multiple risks. In their new book “Survive the Drive: A Guide to Keeping Everyone on the Road Alive,” authors Tom Dingus and Mindy Buchanan-King combine years of facts, figures, reports, research, results from the newest and largest driving study ever conducted, and personal anecdotes into the first driving guide of its kind to help drivers understand and handle their everyday risks. This book is meant for everyone to read – adult drivers, teen drivers, senior drivers, professional drivers, and motorcyclists.

Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age
An award-winning neurologist on the Stone-Age roots of our screen addictions, and what to do about them. The human brain hasn’t changed much since the Stone Age, let alone in the mere thirty years of the Screen Age. That’s why, according to neurologist Richard Cytowic—who, Oliver Sacks observed, “changed the way we think of the human brain”—our brains are so poorly equipped to resist the incursions of Big Tech: They are programmed for the wildly different needs of a prehistoric world. In Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age, Cytowic explains exactly how this programming works—from the brain’s point of view. What he reveals in this book shows why we are easily addicted to sc...
The Stallard Connection
Walter Stallard (d.1683/1684) immigrated from England to Rappahannock County, Virginia during or before 1672. Descendants lived throughout the United States.
Design of the In-Vehicle Driving Behavior and Crash Risk Study: In Support of the SHRP 2 Naturalistic Driving Study
"TRB's Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-S05-RR-1: Design of the In-Vehicle Driving Behavior and Crash Risk Study provides a summary of the key aspects of the planning effort supporting the SHRP 2 Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS). SHRP 2 Safety Project S05: Design of the In-Vehicle Driving Behavior and Crash Risk Study (Study Design) designed the SHRP 2 NDS, which will collect data - on the order of 1 petabyte (1,000 terabytes) - on "naturalistic," or real-world, driving behavior over a two-year period beginning in fall 2010"--Publisher's description.

Ergonomics and Safety of Intelligent Driver Interfaces
Even to the casual observer of the automotive industry, it is clear that driving in the 21st century will be radically different from driving as we know it today. Significant advances in diverse technologies such as digital maps, communication links, processors, image processing, chipcards, traffic management, and vehicle positioning and tracking, are enabling extensive development of intelligent transport systems (ITS). Proponents of ITS view these technologies as freeing designers to re-define the role and function of transport in society and to address the urgent problems of congestion, pollution, and safety. Critics, on the other hand, worry that ITS may prove too complex, too demanding,...
Development of Human Factors Guidelines for Advanced Traveler Information Systems and Commercial Vehicle Operations
The goal of the activities documented in this report was to produce a prioritized list of candidate studies and issues that would guide data acquisition in this project. This goal was accomplished in three steps. First, 91 issues were compiled from earlier research in this effort. Second, a set of 14 criteria, 9 substantive and 5 methodological, were defined. Eight experienced human factors experts completed all 2,184 cells in a rating matrix for a total of 17,472 rating entries in the data set. Third, a linear psychometric model was used to prioritize the 91 issues. The model was validated by sending the raters three short prioritized lists, one of which was (unknown to the raters) a stratified random sample of studies and issues.
