The SHFR group has had a longstanding collaboration with the Human Aerospace Laboratory in NYC. Through this collaboration, much research has been done with pilots and astronaut participants exploring the effects of flight on the ability to perform tasks and the effect long-term exposure in different environments has on performance factors. Our current projects that […]
Read moreStarting in 1997, driving simulations have been a key interest for the Sydney Human Factors Research group. From studying aspects of driving behaviour, to the effects of alcohol & drugs on driving, to motion sickness on task performance, driving simulation is a broad field of study for our group. Current projects involving driving simulations: Driving […]
