Project 1: Exploratory Review of the Safety and Security Benefits and Challenges of Automated and Connected Vehicles for Women and Indigenous People
2018 – 2019
Project goals:
The goal of this project is to conduct a comprehensive review of existing or emerging research, policies, and regulations on the safety of AV/CV technologies and their interaction with two identified population groups; women and Indigenous peoples. In addition, the work explored research specific to urban, rural, and remote communities and low income related socio-economic factors, which are important considerations affecting all population groups
Project 2: Semi Autonomous Vehicle-Engagement (SAV-ED)
2021 – 2022
Project goals:
The following summary describes the purpose, activities and timelines associated with the Semi Autonomous Vehicle-Engagement (SAV-ED) Framework. The objective of this project is to advance safe road practice initiatives by developing a method for objectively quantifying the effect of SAVs on driver engagement and performance. The methods of the SAV-ED Framework support national collection and dissemination of timely and quality road safety data by exploiting emerging SAV sensor data, established safety sensors, and focused behavioural measures. A key objective of this project is to enhance shared knowledge of the impact of SAVs, a prominent emerging road safety technology for the 21st century. This project focuses on two vulnerable driving groups: novice drivers and older drivers.
