Enhancing Winter Driving Safety Through Human Motor Control Research
COS/ECE University Distinguished Professor Dagmar Sternad is leading a $917K grant from Toyota Research Institute’s University Research Program (URP 3.0) for “Enhancing Human Control of Unstable Systems for Safe Driving in Winter Conditions.” The work sits at the intersection of human motor control and autonomous systems — studying how people manage physically unstable, dynamic tasks, with direct implications for safer driving in challenging conditions.
