We strive to share as much or our research as possible, with the hope the automotive industry can benefit from the findings of our safety advances. Explore our projects, and discover what we work on.
Naturalistic Observations and Simulation of Communication Between Road Users
Human Technology Integration, Human Factors, Projects
Identify what kind of communication we have with other road users (e.g., pedestrians, other vehicles) with cutting-edge technology of computer vision.
Non-Driving Occupant Posture and Activities in Moving Vehicles
Human Factors, Projects
The objective of this project was to increase the scientific understanding of typical front-seat passenger postures through a naturalistic study observing in-vehicle behaviors.
Motion and Muscle Activation of Young Volunteers in Evasive Vehicle Maneuvers
Human Factors, Projects
The objective of this study was to quantify key adult and child occupant kinematic, kinetic and muscle responses from sudden evasive vehicle maneuvers. This data is useful to develop future tools to better assess injury risk in crashes preceded by crash avoidance.
Development of Standard Bicyclist Crash Scenarios
Crash Data Analysis/Data & Analysis, Projects
Naturalistic driving data was collected from 110 drivers over the course of a year capturing vehicle telematics data and camera footage, to better understand how bicyclists and cars interact and identify dangerous events.
Adaptive Headlamp System Benefit Estimation
Crash Avoidance, Projects
Measure the response characteristics and estimated benefit with respect to reduction in injury/fatalities of adaptive headlamp systems that highlight detected pedestrians and bicyclists using both a driver and pedestrian/bicycle simulator study.
Investigation of In-Vehicle Cardiac Monitoring and Severe Event Prediction
Human Factors, Projects
Determining what safety systems should be implemented to mitigate accidents related to cardiac events, including driver warnings upon possible event detection and then a slowing of the vehicle and eventually full stop if no response is given.
