MPhil in Human Factors and Safety

University of Leeds

We investigate road users’ interactions with new and current transport systems and technologies to advance transport safety. Our capabilities include: Design of methodologies for studying user behaviour (field operational tests, naturalistic driving studies, questionnaires, focus groups, laboratory studies), Design of Human-in-the-loop-simulation experiments, Software development (driving simulator and related equipment) Priority research topics include: Advanced driver assistance systems (Including Intelligent Speed Assistance), Driver attitudes and behaviours, Eco driving, Electric vehicles, Engineering and Road/Sign Design, Human factors of highly automated driving, Humans in the loop’ simulation.
