Human Factors & Ergonomics (HFE) aims to optimize human well-being and system performance by understanding interactions between humans, products, and environments. HFE focuses on identifying human abilities and limitations, and applying that knowledge to improve interaction. It encompasses physical, cognitive, and organizational ergonomics domains. In traffic safety, HFE seeks to identify driver, vehicle, and road elements that cause errors in order to prevent hazardous situations, rather than just train drivers or fix mistakes. The goal is reducing accidents by applying HFE principles to the overall human-road system.
