| PI Contribution | Work on distraction following from this and other grants have been showcased during the launch of a new research team-Excellence in Human Factors Research at Cardiff University (HuFEx) within the School of Psychology at Cardiff University (see Hufex.co.uk). From this activity, three contract bids have emerged, two of which were successful. The bids were prepared jointly with companies from the Aerospace, Defence and Marine sector. "The Human Factors Excellence (HuFEx) Collaboration and Networking Event within the School of Psychology at Cardiff University on the 15th - 16th Jan 2018. We were pleased to welcome 18 external organisations (Airbus, Atkins, BMT Defence, Cardiff & Vale NHS Trust, Environment Resource Management, General Dynamics UK, Trimetis, South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, QinetiQ, Transport Research Laboratory, Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch, Velindre Cancer Centre, Thales, Tarian Cyber Crime Unit, Information Point, Welsh Government, Swansea University, University of the West of England - Bristol) with over 25 delegates as well as 30 Cardiff University HuFEx members. Day 1 consisted of an array of excellent and thought provoking presentations relating to our five current themes (Defence and Security, Design of Internal & External Spaces, Emergency Services, Healthcare and Patient Safety, Transport & Intelligent Mobility) - including a talk by Professor Dylan M Jones OBE (Cardiff University, School of Psychology) focussed on almost 60-years of world leading Human Factors research at Cardiff University. Day 2 was focussed on activities designed to identify and harness collaboration opportunities and pathways to impact. The event was supported by an ESRC Impact Acceleration Award and extra funding from the School of Psychology at Cardiff University." The bids currently underway relate to work undertaken by this ESRC grant on distraction. Awarded: 'Distracting effects of light and sound on human performance' (DHCSTC: TIN 3.248) jointly with TNO and BAE systems. Under Review: 'Improving operator performance during exposure to stressful environments: Understanding the impact of multi-tasking' (DHSTC: TIN 2.115) jointly with BMT Defence Services (Bristol). Under Review: 'Mitigating the impact of low pilot workload' (TIN 3.249) jointly with BMT Defence Services (Bristol). |
| Collaborator Contribution | Prof Jones's role is in leading the Defence and Security theme: HuFEx has five core themes linked to member specialist areas: defence and security (including cyber); design and use of internal and external spaces (including offices, external architecture, and, infrastructure); emergency services (including emergency medical services, fire and rescue, and, law enforcement; healthcare and patient safety (including emergency critical care, specialist treatment centres, and surgical environments); and, transport and intelligent mobility (including autonomous road vehicles). HuFEx has strong institutional support evidenced by a 2017-18 Economic Social Research Council Impact Acceleration Award (ESRC IAA) and additional support from the School of Psychology and the University. |
