Welcome to Human-Technology Interaction Lab

At HTI Lab, we aim to understand how humans interact with technology with a focus on Cyber Transportation Systems (CTS). With the continued advances in CTS, the communication between vehicles and the increased automation capability aim to support a new generation of safety applications and provide information to drivers in a reliable and timely manner. Our current research explores the interaction between humans and CTS under a framework that combined automation and communication technologies, in-vehicle information systems (cooperative collision warning systems), and human drivers. We adopt experimental and modeling approaches to investigate and quantify the effects of system characteristics on human behavior and performance in CTS.
