主讲内容简介：

This research talk will introduce computational modeling and experimental studies of driver behavior with its applications in transportation safety. First, human behavior modeling is a growing and interdisciplinary area in human factors and cognitive systems engineering. It builds computational models based on the fundamental mechanisms of human cognition to predict driver workload, vehicle control behavior and interactions with in-vehicle systems, with both mathematical modeling and discrete event simulation methods. It can be used to design, improve, and evaluate systems with human in the loop. Second, new experimental studies of driver behavior conducted at the Cognitive System Lab with new research topics in transportation safety will also be introduced in this talk.
