We study road user behaviour from perspectives such as workload, fatigue, driver distraction; sleep apnoea, emotion, and eco-driving. We prioritise the research with clear potential for societal impact and use a range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies and tools such as on-road studies and simulators. We have opportunities for prospective postgraduate researchers in the Human Factors and Safety research group. Example projects and funding opportunities can be found in our PhD directory. In addition to the research study associated with a specific project, prospective students can also suggest their own topic. In this case, we ask prospective students to contact possible supervisors for an informal discussion, before submitting a research proposal.
