The IEA Transport Ergonomics and Human Factors Technical Committee is accepting submissions for the IEA 2009 Congress in Beijing , China. This Track encourages symposia/workshops, panels and demonstrations that address human-centered design in the field of transport. The content could include laboratory, field and case studies, conceptual models, and demonstrations. Relevant topics include human-machine interactions in dynamic and complex environments highlighting driver human factors; driving task performance; vehicle and technology design, systems usability (theory and evaluation methods), traveling and mobility needs (different users’ groups); safe, user-friendly and error-tolerant infrastructure and environment; and transport related working systems.

Papers combining other topics (e.g. aging, night and shiftwork, gender and work, activity analysis, systems design) with application in the context of transport are welcomed.

We are also soliciting reviewers for the proposals in November 2008. If you are a TEHF member and/or you wish to help with the review, or you have any other questions, please contact Anabela Simoes at ana.simoes@isec.universitas.pt
