NTF Väst och SAFER bjuder in till seminarium om Distraktion i förarmiljön den 28 september, se bifogad inbjudan. Vilken roll spelar distraktion i förarmiljön för trafiksäkerheten? Att köra bil är svårt nog. Ska vi dessutom SMS:a, maila och hålla reda på vägbeskrivningar i telefonen - då blir det snurrigt. Faktum är att det blir så snurrigt att när du SMS:ar

Ecological interface design (EID) is an approach to interface design based on the skills, rules, and knowledge taxonomy of cognitive control. The basic goals of EID are not to force processing to a higher level than the demands of the task require, and to support each of the three levels of cognitive control. Thus, an EID interface should not contribute

FOT-Net has been in place for almost three years as the networking platform for stakeholders involved or interested in FOTs. The European Commission has confirmed funding for another 3 years. While the focus so far was mainly on building up the FOT network and promoting the FESTA methodology, the next phase will explicitly address issues raised by the FOT network
