Project 1: Exploratory Review of the Safety and Security Benefits and Challenges of Automated and Connected Vehicles for Women and Indigenous People
2018 – 2019
Project goals:
The goal of this project is to conduct a comprehensive review of existing or emerging research, policies, and regulations on the safety of AV/CV technologies and their interaction with two identified population groups; women and Indigenous peoples. In addition, the work explored research specific to urban, rural, and remote communities and low income related socio–economic factors, which are important considerations affecting all population groups

Project 2: Semi Autonomous Vehicle-Engagement (SAV-ED)
2021 – 2022
Project goals:
The following summary describes the purpose, activities and timelines associated with the Semi Autonomous Vehicle-Engagement (SAV-ED) Framework. The objective of this project is to advance safe road practice initiatives by developing a method for objectively quantifying the effect of SAVs on driver engagement and performance. The methods of the SAV-ED Framework support national collection and dissemination of timely and quality road safety data by exploiting emerging SAV sensor data, established safety sensors, and focused behavioural measures. A key objective of this project is to enhance shared knowledge of the impact of SAVs, a prominent emerging road safety technology for the 21st century. This project focuses on two vulnerable driving groups: novice drivers and older drivers.
