Telematics applications and their influence on the human factor

Abstract

Safety is the exemption from accidents and losses on human lives. It also deals with property protection, regulation, management and transport technology development. Human factor often caused a lot of accident because of his/her failure. One of the most frequent faults of drivers is a wrong decision in a critical situation. The decision process is very complicated since the driver has to evaluate the arisen situation correctly within fractions of a second. The implementation of telematics systems into vehicle equipment reduces its energy consumption, bad environmental impacts, increases safety etc. Total operating costs reduction of road vehicles, simplification of vehicle control and reduction of driver’s overload by information is largely stressed. Our article deals with the analysis of human factor and exploration of its demonstrations in the context of telematic applications.
