PhD in Future Transport and Cities (Design Ergonomics and Human Factors)

Coventry University

Research within this theme builds on Coventry University's design heritage to bring together a multidisciplinary team of experts in design ergonomics and human factors, leading research and development into future transport systems. We see the current state of change within the mobility industry as a great opportunity to ensure that transport solutions of the future are better equipped to serve the needs of a diverse population. This includes: Putting users at the heart of the design process. Developing innovative Human Factors methodologies to enable real-world and virtual evaluation of user interaction. Focussing on inclusive design and considering the needs and abilities of all members of the population. Developing and using visualisation techniques to help people experience new products. Enhancing the passenger experience in future transport, ensuring they are trustworthy, engaging and accessible for all.
