Familiarity with computer architecture, Linux systems, and security concepts will be a definite advantage.
Plane Crash Survival
Plane Crash Survival provides a comprehensive guide to surviving a plane crash and the subsequent challenges of wilderness survival. It emphasizes preparedness, knowledge, and mental fortitude as crucial survival tools. The book uniquely integrates aviation safety principles with wilderness survival techniques, offering practical, field-tested strategies, not speculation. Readers will learn about pre-flight preparedness, post-crash actions, shelter construction, water purification, signalling methods, and first aid. The book begins with aircraft safety and pre-flight strategies, transitioning to immediate post-crash procedures like brace positions and injury assessment. It then explores wilderness survival skills, including shelter building, water sourcing, fire starting, foraging, and navigation. Signalling techniques and psychological resilience are covered, culminating in long-term survival strategies and rescue preparation. The book references aviation safety experts and survival instructors to provide factual context.
Performance Metrics for Assessing Driver Distraction
This book focuses on the study of secondary task demands imposed by in-vehicle devices on the driver while driving. It provides a mechanism for researchers to evaluate how in-vehicle devices such as navigation systems – as well as other devices such as cell phones – affect driver distraction and impact safety. This book, which features the work presented by international experts at the 4th International Driver Metrics Workshop, in June 2008, offers a summary of the current state of driver metrics research. Edited by workshop moderator Dr. Gary L. Rupp, the book introduces vital information to support the design of in-vehicle information and communication systems (IVIS). Topics covered include: • Driver object and event detection • Peripheral detection tasks (PDT) • Tactile-based detection tasks (TDT) • Modified Sternberg method for assessing visual and cognitive load of in-vehicle tasks • Modified Sternberg method for assessing peripheral detection task and lane change tests • The relationship between performance metrics and crash risk • Characterizing driver behaviors observed in naturalist driving studies • Developing metrics from lane change test studies
