From human behaviour understanding to improved safety at Pedestrian Tracks Crossing (PTC) - With Yanna Carli 

The collaborative research project that will be exposed propose a renewed approach to safety based on cognitive ergonomics and biomechanical analyses. It develops and tests new systems in real-life situation, using virtual reality technologies, to improve safety at pedestrian tracks crossing. These research efforts, completed with technical and economic ones, will give decision-makers well-sourced data to ground choice and open to implementation of more effective safety systems.
