his paragraph summarizes the
short curriculum vitae below, with emphasis on ITS-related aspects of my present work. In addition to teaching college and graduate level courses related to the areas of expertise listed below, I have an early publication on vehicle human factors based on vehicle-driver dynamics during roadway testing (Shook & Spelt, 1985). I did the initial technical development of specifications and sensor/data-acquisition selection for the Data Acquisition System for Crash Avoidance (DASCAR), a project sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). I taught courses in human factors and ergonomics for eight years prior to coming to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and also conducted human factors research in several areas. Most pertinent for ITS, in addition to the DASCAR work just mentioned, is work done in two areas: |
was responsible
for the human factors aspects and training design for an Advanced Traffic Management Training Center prototype. This center was designed to train traffic engineers on advanced traffic management techniques for integrated corridors (combined freeway, arterial and surface street management). The training simulator was shipped back to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for their further research there. |
he goal of the In-Vehicle Signing
project, on which I was the PI, was to display roadway signs inside the vehicle. Such signage includes not only safety and regulatory highway signs, but ultimately also motorists' services ("yellow pages") information and route guidance. This effort included the conceptual design of an in-vehicle display system, as well as a system for managing and prioritizing information presented to drivers. This project evolved naturally into a research task on Driver Distraction -- my last piece of work for ORNL. I built a driving simulator, based on software developed by Systems Technology, Inc. The simulator is shown on this page. Here is the Associated Press story that appeared in the Knoxville News-Sentinal. |
hese latter projects were sponsored by
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). |
