Emeritus Professor Michael (Mike) Regan - Driver Distraction - Feature Podcast

Sharon Todd (CPE) is discussing "Driver Distraction" with Emeritus Professor Michael (Mike) Regan.

Emeritus Professor Michael (Mike) Regan, is an Emeritus Professor with the Research Centre for Integrated Transport Innovation (rCITI) at the University of UNSW, Sydney. Prior to that he was Professor of Human Factors at rCITI, and before that Chief Scientist-Human Factors at the Australian Road Research Board.  

Mike has BSc (Hons) and PhD degrees in Psychology and Human Factors from the Australian National University and nearly 30 years’ experience in transport human factors and road safety research - in Australia, Europe and the US. 

His key research interests include driver distraction and inattention, road user behaviour, human factors in road design and traffic engineering, vehicle human-machine interface design, and human interaction with intelligent transport systems. He is the author/co-author of around 200 peer-reviewed research documents, including 5 books, two of which are on driver distraction and inattention. 

Mike has done much to help society, globally, to prevent and mitigate the effects of driver distraction: through his research; his contributions to international committees; his advice to governments and industry; as an expert witness in courts; and in the recent provision of technical input into the development of Australia’s new technology-neutral road rules for driver distraction and Australia’s National Driver Distraction Roadmap. 

 Mike is the co-founder and co-organiser of the biennial International Conference on Driver Distraction and Inattention, to be held this year for the 10th time in Gothenburg, Sweden. He is a Fellow of the Australasian College of Road Safety and a long-standing Member (and 25th President) of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia.
