Human Factors Engineering for Vehicular Designs

Catalog description

This course explores advanced concepts in human-centered design and ergonomics as applied to vehicular systems. This course emphasizes the integration of human capabilities and limitations—cognitive, physical, and perceptual—into the design of vehicles to enhance safety, usability, and performance. Topics include driver-vehicle interaction, human error and reliability, user interface design, autonomous vehicle systems, and the application of simulation and experimental methods in evaluating human performance. Students will engage with current research, case studies, and design challenges to develop innovative, data-driven solutions for complex vehicular environments.
