In research and application of Human Factors in Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems design, development and operation, there remains a lack of clarity. This book seeks to redress this situation by presenting case studies of human factors applications in which there is demonstrable success in terms of improvement in operational systems.

Written as a companion to 'Risk Management and Error Reduction in Aviation Maintenance', this text focuses on data from the NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System to illustrate how human factors principles and error reduction techniques should be applied to minimize error-inducing conditions.

Strategic airline alliances are an important topic in airline management today, stimulated by poor access of international airlines to large domestic markets such as the USA and EU and the increasing importance of network scope.

The airline industry is in a state of radical restructuring as its markets and key stakeholders adjust to the new aviation realities. This wide-ranging text identifies challenges and problems, presents comprehensive analyses and suggests some solutions.

The taxicab makes a significant contribution to the accessibility of a city. This study considers the roles and functions of the taxi from its origins as the first licensed form of public transport, to the current variations of vehicle type and operation, to predictions for its future development.

Addresses the strategic dimensions of networks, especially in transportation and information communication technology in Europe. This book examines the challenges brought about by European unification and accession, through which a coherent and efficient European network system needs to be implemented.

Describes driving as a social and cultural practice, showing how a cultural studies approach can contribute to a better understanding of driving behaviour and to a more appropriate approach to road-safety policy. This book examines the perspectives that young people in particular have on cars.

This fascinating selection of photographs traces some of the many ways in which Bournemouth Airport has changed and developed over the last century.

A dramatic and extraordinarily rare survivors' view of a major air crash, twenty-five years after the tragedy.

"Follow the Flag" offers the first authoritative history of the Wabash Railroad Company, a once vital inter-regional carrier. The corporate saga of the Wabash involved the efforts of strong-willed and creative leaders, and this book provides more than a traditional business history.

By combining focus groups and interviews with research techniques, such as web-based discussions and Q methodology, this book provides insights into the daily experiences of those using the British transport system.

Brings together leading transport academics to discuss society behaviour and public/private transport. Theoretical and empirical research from across North America and Europe form the basis of this book, which is composed of 12 chapters that fall into four logical sections.

This text adresses the problem of desiging and testing modern displays and other cockpit systems. It shows that there is little communication between the users, designers and testers of these display systems. The book attempts to offer better ways of evaluating these display systems.

Deregulation has radically altered the way in which airlines are operated and managed. This book aims to examine the response of carriers to liberalization in a number of representative air transport markets and to provide an explanation for the wide variation in levels of competition.
