Research interests
Investigating human driving characteristics, the way in which humans learn to drive, and how this and other contextual factors impact upon human selection of control actions in various scenarios. Developing a mathematical model of human control of a vehicle including the evolution of such control as the human operator learns the underlying system and capturing reproducing control strategies across a range of driver behaviour attributes. Also, investigating experimental methods to better measure and assess human driver behaviour and learning.

Biography
Harry Fieldhouse undertook his undergraduate studies at the University of Cambridge reading Engineering specialising in Information and Computer Engineering, Instrumentation and Control, and Mechanical Engineering. Since graduating he has returned to the Department of Engineering and is now undertaking a PhD on the behaviour of human drivers, and on driver-vehicle interactions. Harry is a member of the Dynamics and Vibrations Research Group within Division C (Mechanical Engineering).
