PHD SCHOLARSHIP IN INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS TO IMPROVE SAFETY
A number of scholarships are available for exceptional candidates to be a part of dynamic research group and undertake fully funded PhD research. The research is based on development of a Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) Intelligent Transport System (ITS) to improve safety. This challenging research project will be based on an advanced simulation platform which incorporates models for vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication enabling real-time modelling and optimisation of security, reliability, safety and human-machine interface (HMI) issues involved in implementation of an effective and safe ITS.
The scholarship is fully funded by AutoCRC and is valued at $33,000 per year for three years. The research work will be carried out at the Centre for Technology Infusion, La Trobe University. The scholarships are available for candidates to work in either of the two principal areas of the project: networking (focusing on improving reliability and security of communications) and HMI (focusing on human factors issues including those related to functionality/display characteristics and those related to driver performance and behaviour). The successful applicants will have an honours degree or equivalent in relevant fields with possible research or work experience.

PhD SCHOLARSHIP IN HUMAN FACTORS
Crashes at road-rail level crossings remain an intractable problem. In-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle systems offer great potential to reduce the incidence and severity of these crashes. There is still much research that needs to explore fundamental issues relating the device functionality and the basics of when to present a warning and how to present it. This work is fundamental to decrease the chances of there being negative safety outcomes when multiple systems are integrated within vehicles.
This AutoCRC-funded PhD scholarship is $28,000 annually for three years, plus $5,000 for project costs. The scholarship is open to Australian/NZ students and those from developing countries. The successful applicant must have an Honours Bachelor degree in a relevant field (psychology, human factors engineering, ergonomics, or a related discipline), plus research experience. The deadline for applications is 31 March 2010.
