We are dedicated to groundbreaking research
that uses simulated environment and real-world scenarios to human behavior

Human Factors is a cross-disciplinary field that "examines the relationship between human beings and the systems with which they interact, and focuses on improving efficiency, productivity, creativity and job satisfaction, with the goal of minimizing errors" (World Health Organization). In the Human Systems Lab, we leverage our expertise in Psychology, Kinesiology, and Engineering to solve real-world challenges in manufacturing, transportation and beyond.

What is human factors? 

What is human factors? 

  • We use Virtual Reality to investigate how humans interact with machines in driving, manufacturing and the military. We combine VR with eye-tracking, physiological, and neuroimaging techniques to measure the human behavior.

  • We use a Tesla Model 3 and a high-fidelity driving simulator to investigate how driving automated vehicles affect cognitive workload, glance allocation and situation awareness.

  • Windsor Police Service and the Human Systems Lab are collaborating on a study to measure the prevalence of distracted driving in selected areas in Windsor

  • We use scientific-grade eye-tracker and physiological sensors to measure human  behavior in real-world scenarios.
