Abstract

The application of human factors and ergonomics in transportation is an example of human-automation interaction. Since the year 2020, the covid-19 pandemic has become an emerging factor that interacts with transportation from epidemiological and ergonomic perspectives. This study aims at capturing the emerging trends of covid-19 related human factors in transportation through conclusions from a systematic literature review of relevant publications. Analyses of content and bibliometrics were accomplished by using tools such as VOS Viewer, Citespace, Harzing, and MaxQDA to establish the findings of emerging trends in this field. Key findings from these analyses are: (1) Since the start of the covid 19, countries over the world have administered a variety of travel-related controls in an attempt to contain or slow down the spread of the virus both domestically and internationally. (2) The enforced travel restrictions not only impacted the spread of the pandemic but also transformed people’s activity and travel patterns into a new form. (3) The altered activity and travel patterns further brought changes in transportation policy design, air quality control, and industry disruptions. (4) The pandemic has motivated people to adopt new HCI technologies, and some previously HCI technologies are being challenged because of the pandemic mitigation policies.
