Seminar : Dr. Margherita Pazzini (University of Bologna)

On November 12th 2026, beetween 9h30 and 10h30 AM, in the context of LIA NextRIM, Dr. Margherita Pazzini from the University of Bologna (Italy) will give an invited lecture entitled:

Driver Behaviour in Simulated Environments: Challenges and Perspectives for Road Safety

Abstract: Understanding driver behaviour is essential for assessing road safety and the interaction between road users and the environment. Driving simulation provides a controlled setting for investigating how different conditions influence vigilance, workload, and stress. Combining vehicle kinematics, eye-tracking data, neural and physiological measurements, and subjective assessments offers complementary insights into drivers’ responses. This integrated approach supports the identification of potentially critical conditions and the evaluation of measures aimed at improving road safety.

Distant attendance will be possible throught Zoom:

The lecture will be followed the same day, until 04h30 PM, by a seminar with presentations by several participants in LIA NextRIM. On the next day, the participants will move to the campus of Versailles for a visit of immersive simulation platforms for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
