Human Factors Committee

1.Aim of activity

In order to achieve "safe and secure transportation," multilayered research and development is necessary, from basic research related to driver cognition, judgment, and operation to applied research such as autonomous driving, driving support, and driving education. be. This committee focuses on the human factors of various traffic participants such as drivers and pedestrians, and conducts wide-ranging investigations into trends in related fields such as psychology, neuroscience, ethics and law. The purpose of this meeting is to identify research and technical issues related to ``manufacturing'' and to discuss how to solve them.
