Abstract:
Safety is the exemption from accidents and losses on human lives. It is also related to property protection, regulation, management and transport technology development. The analysis of accidents indicates that 95% of transport accidents are caused by a human factor failure (wrong evaluation of situation, participant’s skills/abilities etc.) One of the most frequent errors of drivers is a wrong decision in a critical situation. The decision process is very complicated since the driver has to evaluate the situation arisen correctly within fractions of a second. The implementation of telematic systems into vehicle equipment reduces the energy intensity, reduces environmental impacts, increases safety etc. Reduction of total operating costs of road vehicles, simplification of vehicle control to the maximum extent and reduction of driver’s informational overload is emphasised. Our article deals with the analysis of human factor and investigation of its demonstrations in the context of telematic applications.
