Nikolaos Gkikas

"It will be useful for practicing automotive engineers, particularly those who are not familiar with the field."
—Prof. P. K. Mallick, University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA

"… provides a good introduction to key aspects of vehicle design and use from a human factors (ergonomics) perspective. Established ergonomic experts present the underlying issues and industry standard procedures clearly and authoritatively. This book therefore provides an excellent entry point for the inexperienced and a handy reference for those who may already be familiar with some of the issues covered."
—John Richardson, Loughborough Design School, Loughborough University, UK
