The TRG is dedicated to enhancing surface
transportation safety and efficiency through applied research, design
validation and training systems support.
UCF provides TRG
with the multidisciplinary capabilities of a major university, including
academic strengths in applied psychology and engineering. TRG research is
concerned with the behavioral, environmental and engineering factors in
traffic safety. Specific areas of research include driving simulation,
training, high-risk drivers, in-vehicle navigational systems, increased
congestion, driver workload, driver fatigue, high speed pursuit, and
driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The TRG research
facilities consist of a wide variety of laboratories and centers
throughout the university. These include the Visual Performance
Laboratory, Human Factors Research Laboratory, The Florida Alliance for
Assistive Services and Technology Laboratory, The Team Performance
Laboratory, The Center for Applied Human Factors in Aviation, The Center
for Advanced Transportation Simulation Systems, and the Institute for
Simulation and Training.
