Even a cursory review of the numerous hijacking, train and bus bombings can establish beyond doubt that transport systems are particularly vulnerable targets of terrorist attack. This book intends to offer the groundwork for a theoretical and practical understanding of the issues that surround transportation security against terrorism.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th IFIP WG 13.5 Working Conference on Human Error, Safety and Systems Development, HESSD 2009, held in Brussels, Belgium, in September 2009. The 8 revised full papers presented with were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers address the problem of developing systems that support human interaction with complex, safety-critical applications. The papers are organized in topical sections on human factors in healthcare systems, pilot's behaviour, ergonomics and safety critical systems.
