The technology behind self-driving cars is being heavily promulgated as the solution to a variety of transport problems including safety, congestion, and impact on the environment. This text examines the key role that human factors plays in driving forward future vehicle automation in a way that realizes the benefits while avoiding the pitfalls. Driving Automation: A Human Factors Perspective addresses a range of issues related to vehicle automation beyond the 'can we' to 'how should we'. It covers important topics including mental workload and malleable attentional resources theory, effects of automation on driver performance, in-vehicle interface design, driver monitoring, eco-driving, responses to automation failure, and human-centred automation. The text will be useful for graduate students and professionals in diverse areas such as ergonomics/human factors, automobile engineering, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and health and safety.

The evaluation and assessment of appropriate design approaches for usable human-machine interfaces is at the heart of ergonomics. A Guide to Methodology in Ergonomics arises from work, carried out by Neville Stanton for the EPSRC/Department of Transport, to compile and review a pool of methodologies currently used throughout the human factors world. The book describes this range of methodologies, and provides evidence of "real-world" validity and reliability. The costs and benefits for each are assessed, as are the usability and applicability. "A Guide to Methodology in Ergonomics" will be an invaluable resource for professional ergonomists, students at masters and post-graduate levels, and industry and business professionals undertaking in-house ergonomic evaluations.

Review\n“Mark Young, in The Hope of the Gospel, prophetically calls us into that liminal space which honors both the firm, historical theological roots which historically defines evangelicalism and the new contextual realities of a growing, global evangelical movement. Young courageously beckons us to look beyond the boundaries of the North American and European experiences which have shaped our movement to a more robust and biblical vision which promises to reenergize that faith ‘once for all delivered to the saints.’” 
— Timothy C. Tennent 
president and professor of world Christianity at Asbury Theological Seminary\n“I needed this book. It not only challenged my nostalgia for an evangelicalism that never really was exactly like what I have remembered it to be, but it also gave me new hope for evangelical theological education. Mark Young is enthusiastic about a new generation of theological educators who are willing to face the future with an openness to challenges that can only met by a deep commitment to the Gospel. And he points the way ahead with cultural and cross-cultural savvy—and most of all, with profound theological wisdom.” 
— Richard J. Mouw 
president emeritus of Fuller Theological Seminary\n“Against those who would give up on the identifier ‘evangelical,’ Mark Young pushes back with a vision of evangelical theological education in which the gospel is at the center. For the five young leaders the book addresses, as well as to all with ears to hear, Young makes good in showing why a return to the gospel opens wide a doorway of hope.” 
— Mark A. Noll 
author of Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind\n“The Hope of the Gospel by Mark S. Young invites our next generation of theological educators to carve out a process of transformation within our institutions, a movement of intellectual spiritual renewal he characterizes as ‘orthodoxy on fire.’ Young encourages us to create hope-infused spaces for institutional growth and change beyond the status quo of American evangelicalism and highlights the urgent need to articulate a meaningful public theology. By calling for a renewed vision of theological education, Young challenges us to examine our prevailing values and assumptions to embrace more fully God’s redemptive mission for the church and society. Asking us to recalibrate our historical narratives and inherited frameworks, Young’s book is a highly relevant, insightful, and timely read for current and future generations of theological educators. “ 
— Karen An-hwei Lee 
provost and professor of English at Wheaton College\n“Mark Young writes as thoughtfully as an evangelical and as insightfully as the president of a leading American seminary. Evangelical theological educators should read this book because it will remind them of the gifts that have distinguished this evangelical movement and point them to the generative work that needs to be undertaken to extend those gifts into the future. Others should read this book because it gives needed clarity to the identity confusion evangelicalism is experiencing and provides valuable insight into the work of evangelical theological schools.” 
— Daniel O. Aleshire 
executive director of the Association of Theological Schools from 1998 to 2017\nReturning evangelicalism to its core commitments 
Evangelicalism in the United States is fracturing along social, political, and ethical fault lines, to the extent that the very meaning of “evangelicalism” is in dispute. Having surrendered its theological character and missional heritage to partisan political activism and cultural conservatism, the movement has lost its unifying identity and undermined its own testimony in an increasingly diverse society. 
Mark Young believes a revitalization of the evangelical movement must happen in our seminaries, where the shepherds of the next evangelicalism are being formed. Young argues that if these leaders of tomorrow are instilled with true gospel values, they will go on to form church

Packed with illustrations and practical examples, Guide to Methodology in Ergonomics: Designing for Human Use, Second Edition provides a concise introduction to ergonomics methods in a straightforward manner that helps you conduct an ergonomics analysis of a product in development. It details the execution of 12 ergonomics methods that can be applied to the design of any type of product or interface. The authors stress the role of ergonomics in reducing device interaction time and user error while improving user satisfaction and device usability. See What’s in the New Edition:   Four case studies Addition of another co-author Examples that reflect current technology Information on Critical Path Analysis (CPA)    The authors highlight where ergonomics methods fit in the design process and how to select a method appropriate for your purpose. They describe each method, supplying an overview, instructions on how to carry out an analysis, a mini bibliography, pros and cons, one or more examples, and a flow chart. They then rate each method for reliability/validity, resources, usability, and efficacy. The book then examines data from studies on training, reliability, and validity, and presents an equation that enables you to calculate approximately the financial benefits of using each method. Based on research and expertise, the book gives you the freedom to be adventurous when choosing methods and the foundation to choose the method that fits the task at hand. Written by experts, it also helps you hone your skills and put the craft of ergonomics into practice.

The investigation and modelling of aviation accident causation is dominated by linear models. Aviation is, however, a complex system and as such suffers from being artificially manipulated into non-complex models and methods. This book addresses this issue by developing a new approach to investigating aviation accident causation through information networks. These networks centralise communication and the flow of information as key indicators of a system’s health and risk. This holistic approach focuses on the system environment, the activity that takes place within it, the strategies used to conduct this activity, the way in which the constituent parts of the system (both human and non-human) interact and the behaviour required. Each stage of this book identifies and expands upon the potential of the information network approach, maintaining firm focus on the overall health of a system. The book’s new model offers many potential developments and some key areas are studied in this research. Through the centralisation of barriers and information nodes the method can be applied to almost any situation. The application of Bayesian mathematics to historical data populations provides scope for studying error migration and barrier manipulation. The book also provides application of these predictions to a flight simulator study for the purposes of validation. Beyond this it also discusses the applicability of the approach to industry. Through working with a legacy airline the methods discussed are used as the basis for a new and prospective safety management system.
