Reviews

From the reviews: 'Provide up-to-date coverage of the ongoing effort in human reliability and error in transportation systems, [and] also of useful developments in the general areas of human reliability, human factors, and human error' ! . The book under review is likely to be of most use to individuals ! who need a quick refresher on how reliability concepts are currently being used in a variety of modern transportation-related settings. (Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, Interfaces, Vol. 38 (5), 2008) The bibliography given in appendix makes this book useful to an engineer or analyst wanting to do serious study. However, the reviewer is of the opinion that the information compiled shall be useful for an analyst in identifying the causes and in selecting the mathematical approach for a specific application. (Krisnha B. Misra, International Journal of Performability Engineering, Vol. 5, (1), 2009)
