Human Factors Branch Welcome and Introduction
The FAA is embarking on the complete modernization of the U.S. National Airspace System, known as NextGen. New technologies will significantly improve safety, capacity, and efficiency on runways and in the nation's skies.
Ensuring that the new system of technologies, procedures, hardware, and software is consistent with human capabilities is the role of human factors. Now is a crucial and exciting time to be part of human factors research and development in the FAA.
We welcome you to join us as we work to understand and optimize the human side of technology and operations.

It is illegal to talk on a hand-held cell phone or text while driving in NJ.
It is illegal to pump your own gas in NJ. You must wait for an attendant to help you.
There are many traffic circles in NJ, and local rules apply about who has the right of way. The circle at the Tech Center has yield signs for traffic entering the circle.
You often have to turn right to go left. NJ uses a lot of “jug handles” where you turn right and loop around rather than allowing left turns.
On roads that have four or more lanes, you must drive in the right hand lane and only use the left hand lane for passing.
