Doctoral Research

Consumer Electronic Devices and the Premium Vehicle

The focus of my research is how best to integrate Consumer Electronic devices into the premium vehicle, not from a technological point of view, but a Human Factors perspective. Furthermore, investigate the use of existing Consumer Electronic features, such as face and voice recognition for driver identification or personalisation, or cameras and face detection for safety related feedback.
