Project description

The PhD project will require the applicant to develop an in-vehicle alcohol-impairment detection system based on machine learning / artificial intelligence techniques. The model will be developed on existing driving simulator data for non-tolerant drinkers and expanded to tolerant drinkers through a new study to be developed by the candidate using the RSRC driving simulator, and in which the candidate will administer alcohol to participants.

As part of this project, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to learn and develop research skills and knowledge pertaining to road crash data analyses, research design/methodology, project management, data analyses, and working with a driving simulator and eye tracking software.

Comprised of a team of over 20 research academics, HDR scholars and casual research officers, we are a leading road safety research centre in Queensland producing world-class research outputs, with a focus on impaired driving.
