Perceptions of an automotive load space in a virtual environment (2017)
Journal Article
Lawson, G., Roper, T., Herriotts, P., Malcolm, L., & Salanitri, D. (2017). Perceptions of an automotive load space in a virtual environment. International Journal of Vehicle Design, 74(2), https://doi.org/10.1504/IJVD.2017.085456

A study was conducted to investigate the accuracy of perceptions of a car load space in a CAVE virtual environment. A total of 46 participants rated load space width, height, depth, usability and overall capacity after viewing either a virtual Range...

Human behaviour in emergency situations: Comparisons between aviation and rail domains (2017)
Journal Article
Stedmon, A., Lawson, G., Lewis, L., Richards, D., & Grant, R. (2017). Human behaviour in emergency situations: Comparisons between aviation and rail domains. Security Journal, 30(3), 963-978. https://doi.org/10.1057/sj.2015.34

This article presents a comparative review of the knowledge base regarding human behaviour in emergencies for both aviation and rail domains. Generic models of human behaviour in emergency situations are introduced and specific attention is then focu...

Variability of human behaviour in outdoor public spaces, associated with the thermal environment (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Waldron, J. A., Lawson, G., Robinson, D., & Cobb, S. (2017). Variability of human behaviour in outdoor public spaces, associated with the thermal environment.

This paper presents part of the outcomes of a programme of research into the influence of the thermal environment on human behaviour in an outdoor public seating area. The research was conducted during one month in summer, autumn and winter of 2015 a...

Development of a low-cost multimodal VR system for engineering design (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Roper, T., Lawson, G., & Abdullah, C. (2017). Development of a low-cost multimodal VR system for engineering design. In DIS '17 Companion: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM Conference Companion Publication on Designing Interactive Systems (293-296). https://doi.org/10.1145/3064857.3079177

Virtual Reality technologies are available at a lower cost than ever before. However, such systems are developed mainly for the consumer market, and inaccuracies in spatial judgements may make them unsuitable for specific applications like Engineerin...

User-centred design of a portable fire extinguisher (2017)
Journal Article
Amos, M., & Lawson, G. (2017). User-centred design of a portable fire extinguisher. Ergonomics in Design, 25(3), 20-27. https://doi.org/10.1177/1064804617707871

This case study documents the process followed to produce an alternative design of fire extinguisher. The work focuses on how informative data can be gathered for an ethically challenging product scenario through the use of a range of user-centred re...
