Abstract

The Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) is Australia’s leading Centre for research into safety and human factors issues associated with the design, deployment and evaluation of in-vehicle Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The Centre’s activities in this area span the domains of road, aviation, occupational and rail safety. The aims of this paper are twofold: firstly, to outline some of the key human factors issues that critically determine the safety effectiveness of intelligent vehicle technologies; and, secondly, to outline some of the key research projects that have been undertaken by MUARC to address some knowledge gaps in this area. Notable is that none of the research described in this paper directly derives from any Australian national ITS strategy. There is an urgent need in Australia for a national strategy which provides a strategic plan for research into the design, deployment, development and evaluation of intelligent vehicle technologies with high safety potential.
