On the Road to Safer Drivers
Engineers design vehicles that are safe, reliable and fuel efficient. But engineers must also consider the human factor: the driver. Since driver errors contribute to more than 90 per cent of vehicle crashes, designing operator feedback systems may help drivers improve their behind-the-wheel habits and make our roads safer. Enter Industrial Engineering Professor Birsen Donmez (MIE), who […]
