Research into Human Factors for Future Transport and Mobility (CAV, EVs, UAM). Plus important things in life like travel, family, sports and film/TV!

[Prof Stewart Birrell @DrSBirrell]

This will impact almost no one, but as a father of three and a Human Factors Professor I don't have time to keep more than one social media account active. All my posts will be on @LinkedInUK, here is my profile https://t.co/8TfD2NbiLn where you can follow my research activity.

What an inspiring project and great example of our #UserCentredDesign here at the NTDC!

Well done to our @CovUniResearch team who worked on the project led by our partners to deliver the innovative and individually customised sit-skis for @GBSnowsport and @TeamGB.

With #100DaysToGo until the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Paralympic #WinterGames, the new sit-skis for Great Britain’s athletes have been unveiled - with the designs being influenced using the expertise of our researchers at @CovUni_FTC & @CovUni_SELS. https://t.co/WPpYoqtG8v

@jshield1988 @CovUniResearch @Motability Hi Jamie, sorry I was on leave last week. With entry requirements we are pretty flexible on UG degree, something in Design, Human Factors, Engineering, Social Sciences or Applied Sciences. The projects have a Design or Human Factors slant so an interest in this area is important

[Prof Stewart Birrell @DrSBirrell]

This a unique opportunity for people with a #Disability or lived experience of disability to conduct #PhD research into #AccessibleTransport. Work with us at @CovUniResearch and @Motability to ensure #DisabilityInclusion has a voice in the room when #FutureTransport is designed.

[Coventry University Research and Innovation @CovUniResearch]

Are you interested in designing #AccessibleTransport? NTDC & @Motability are launching an innovative fully-funded #PhD studentship to design transport for people with #disabilities.

How long does driving performance and driver physiology take to stabilise after an automated vehicle has handed over control to the driver? Our paper suggests it takes 20-30 seconds for things to return to normal after a takeover. Download for free here - https://t.co/UN71VKH5Vz
