TRB conducted a webinar on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 from 2:00PM to 4:00 ET that features research from
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
Report 600: Human Factors Guidelines for Road Systems: Second Edition. This research aims to provide insights to highway designers, highway planners, and traffic engineers on the extent to which road users’ needs are influenced by the effects of age, visual demands, cognition, and expectancies. The webinar showed the 2-page guideline format and human factor interaction matrix can be used to solve day-to-day safety problems.
This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Vehicle User Characteristics. A certificate for 2.0 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual. This webinar was approved by the American Institute of Certified Planners for 2.0 Certification Maintenance Credits. Contact Reggie Gillum at
