Congratulations!

Congratulations to Brandon J Pitts, PhD and the team at @PurdueIndEng for receiving 1st place in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s #InclusiveDesignChallenge for the EASI RIDER! The vehicle includes a "Smart Ramp", an automated wheelchair securement system and more. Learn more: myumi.ch/z1WRZ

BIG congratulations to U.S. Department of Transportation Inclusive Design Challenge’s grand prize winner @LifeatPurdue! Purdue’s team developed EASI RIDER, a holistic automated shuttle platform that integrates accessibility solutions for wheelchair and visually impaired users.

Thank you U.S. Department of Transportation and Secretary Pete Buttigieg for supporting this critical work! We Purdue University are excited about the future of transportation and the ways in which our EASI RIDER team can contribute to making travel more accessible for people with disabilities.

Our latest publication on creating meaningful vibrotactile patterns to represent automated vehicle takeover requests is now published in IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems! ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/99065…

#HFES2022 in Atlanta was a success! NHanCE Lab members, Nade Liang, Maya Luster, and (Dr.) Shree Frazier, presented work on automated vehicles, driver behaviors, and tech usage among older adults. Also, Nade and Maya received the Student Member with Honors award! Thanks HF/E Society!

Our lab's latest publication is now available online in Accident Analysis & Prevention! It discourages the myopic view of older adults as a homogenous group, especially regarding how they (might) perceive autonomous vehicles. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thanks Wish Tv for highlighting this critical work! Prof. Brad Duerstock and I are excited to contribute solutions to enable a more accessible autonomous transportation future for many who currently face significant travel barriers.
