Aim

Cars offer unique challenges in human-machine interaction.  Vehicles are becoming, in effect, robotic systems that collaborate with the driver.

As the automated systems become more capable, how best to manage the on-board human resources is an intriguing question.  Combining the strengths of machines and humans, and mitigating their shortcomings is the goal of intelligent-vehicle research.

With mobile computing already encroaching into vehicles, this project aims to develop intelligent systems and technologies that will truly aid the driver and enhance road safety.

The research is centred around road context awareness through computational vision and supplementary sensors.  Road awareness is then combined with  driver gaze monitoring to demonstrate holistic, intuitive driver support.
