User-centric solutions to optimise safety of children in cars. Globally, incorrect use of child restraints and inappropriate use of adult seat belts are widespread and longstanding problems. In Australia alone >2 million children are at increased risk of injury because of the lack of understanding about how to solve these problems. We have pioneered development of methods to allow novel user-centred approaches coupled with behavioural theory to effectively tackle these problems. In this project ....User-centric solutions to optimise safety of children in cars. Globally, incorrect use of child restraints and inappropriate use of adult seat belts are widespread and longstanding problems. In Australia alone >2 million children are at increased risk of injury because of the lack of understanding about how to solve these problems. We have pioneered development of methods to allow novel user-centred approaches coupled with behavioural theory to effectively tackle these problems. In this project we will build on and extend these innovative methods to to deliver new understanding about how (i) to communicate with parents to ensure behaviours and decisions about restraint optimise safety, and (ii) user-driven design can solve problems inhibiting optimal protection of in cars.Read moreRead less
Advancing cycling as an active transport mode using data driven approaches. This research program aims to provide the critical evidence that is needed to advance cycling as an active and sustainable mode of transport. Through interdisciplinary research and multi-national collaborations, the program will develop a world-leading data platform that will monitor, inform and evaluate cycling, and use this platform to provide the evidence that is needed to enhance cycling participation, safety and inf ....Advancing cycling as an active transport mode using data driven approaches. This research program aims to provide the critical evidence that is needed to advance cycling as an active and sustainable mode of transport. Through interdisciplinary research and multi-national collaborations, the program will develop a world-leading data platform that will monitor, inform and evaluate cycling, and use this platform to provide the evidence that is needed to enhance cycling participation, safety and infrastructure. The outcomes of the research will revolutionise our ability to implement safe and connected cycling infrastructure in areas of greatest need, leading to reduced injury, greater equity and wider uptake of cycling as a mode of transport, thereby leading to substantial gains in population and environmental health.Read moreRead less
Road safety and Aboriginal people. This study will involve an in-depth examination of factors underlying the high involvement in road crashes by Aboriginal people in Australia. Using mixed methods in six communities across NSW and South Australia it will inform development of new programs aimed at closing the gap in this important area.
