Situation awareness in individuals, teams, and systems : an overview of situation awareness models and their utility for road safety research and practice -- What is going on? Situation awareness on the road -- It's good to talk : assessing distributed situation awareness on the road -- Is three a crowd? How compatible is the situation awareness of drivers, motorcyclists, and cyclists -- Digging deeper into incompatibilities between road user situation awareness : using the Event Analysis of Systemic Teamwork to analyse distributed situation awareness at intersections -- The flood study : examining naturalistic interactions between road users at intersections -- Designer road environments: a sociotechnical systems approach to designing for distributed situation awareness -- Designing for distributed situation awareness: using Cognitive Work Analysis to identify intersection design requirements -- Designing new intersections using the Cognitive Work Analysis design toolkit -- Multi-road user evaluation of intersection design concepts -- Designing for DSA in future road transport systems and beyond. "This book showcases, through the use of simulation, on-road testing, and human factors methods in an integrated manner. It achieves this by describing a programme of research designed to enhance situation awareness (SA) across different road users in Australia. The book also makes a telling contribution to the area of SA. Despite being identified as a key concept for road-safety efforts, along with many researchers calling for further research in this area, SA remains ill-defined, underexplored and generally ambiguous in a road-transport context. This book addresses this knowledge gap by proposing a new model of road-user SA and specifying interventions designed to enhance it"--
