Designing Airline Passenger Safety Cards

Abstract

The field of human factors endeavors to optimize and standardize interfaces in an attempt to achieve the best fit possible, to include the design of instructional material. The authors have observed that airline passenger safety cards vary greatly in layout, construction, etc. and could benefit from quidelines presented in the pertinent literature. The present effort examined both user preference as well as card effectiveness. It was found that cards which implement recommended techniques are more preferred and effective than those that do not.
