Driver Training for Future Automated Vehicles: Introducing CHAT (CHeck, Assess, Takeover) (2020)
Report
Shaw, E., Large, D., & Burnett, G. (2020). Driver Training for Future Automated Vehicles: Introducing CHAT (CHeck, Assess, Takeover). RAC Foundation

Automated vehicles are expected to offer many benefits, including improvements in road safety, increased mobility, enhanced driver comfort, and reductions in road congestion. However, fully automated, autonomous vehicles that require no input from a... Read More about Driver Training for Future Automated Vehicles: Introducing CHAT (CHeck, Assess, Takeover).

Multimodal virtual environments: an opportunity to improve fire safety training? (2020)
Journal Article
Lawson, G., Roper, T., Shaw, E., Hsieh, M.-K., & Cobb, S. V. (2020). Multimodal virtual environments: an opportunity to improve fire safety training?. Policy and Practice in Health and Safety, 18(2), 155-168. https://doi.org/10.1080/14773996.2020.1796085

Fires and fire-related fatalities remain a tragic and frequent occurrence. Evidence has shown that humans adopt sub-optimal behaviours during fire incidents and, therefore, training is one possible means to improve occupant survival rates. We present...

Identifying new concepts for innovative lighting-based interventions to influence movement and behaviours in train stations (2020)
Journal Article
Hughes, N., Ryan, B., Hallewell, M., Coad, N., Grant, A., Parrott, N., Roberts, S., & Thompson, K. (2020). Identifying new concepts for innovative lighting-based interventions to influence movement and behaviours in train stations. Lighting Research and Technology, 52(8), 976-990. https://doi.org/10.1177/1477153520904405

The disorderly and disrupted movement of passengers within train stations are key concerns in rail transport, especially where there are increasing numbers of passengers, coupled with often out-dated, adapted station spaces. With careful planning and... Read More about Identifying new concepts for innovative lighting-based interventions to influence movement and behaviours in train stations.
