The European project Hi-Drive addresses key challenges hindering progress of developments in vehicle automation. The key aim of the project is to focus on testing and demonstrating automated driving, by improving intelligent vehicle technologies, to cover a large set of traffic environments, not currently achievable.
In Hi-Drive, TU Delft focusses on human factors and is recruiting a post-doc or experienced researcher in motion comfort. The candidate will investigate perceived motion comfort and motion sickness in particular when performing non-driving related tasks in automated vehicles. Here our key scientific challenge is to unravel processes leading to the perception of comfort and discomfort.
The candidate will:
Within the Hi-Drive project, the candidate will collaborate with industrial and academic partners to collect human response data for comfort modelling, and will contribute to project demonstrators.
Within TU Delft, the candidate will join a multidisciplinary team investigating and modelling motion comfort in automated vehicles and developing advanced vehicle motion and active suspension control strategies.
Hi-Drive associates a consortium of 41 European partners with a wide range of interests and capabilities covering the main impact areas which affect users, and the transport system, and enhance societal benefits. The project intends to contribute towards market deployment of automated systems by 2030. All this cannot be achieved by testing only. Accordingly, the work includes outreach activities on business innovation and standardization, plus extended networking with the interested stakeholders, coordinating parallel activities in Europe and overseas.

Requirements
The candidate shall hold a Master and preferably a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Human Movement Sciences, Neuroscience or have comparable education and experience.
More senior candidates with an industrial and/or academic track record may also apply.
Candidates shall hold demonstrated experience in several of the following fields:
Musculoskeletal modelling, postural stabilisation, motion perception, comfort and ergonomics, frequency domain analysis, control theory.

The candidate will investigate perceived motion comfort and motion sickness in particular when performing non-driving related tasks in automated vehicles. Here our key scientific challenge is to unravel processes leading to the perception of comfort and discomfort.
The candidate will:
- Perform and coordinate experiments in experimental vehicles and driving simulators to study perceived comfort, performance in non-driving tasks, motion perception, and biomechanical seat interaction.
- Use existing data from TU Delft and partners, as well as new data to create models predicting comfort as function of vehicle motion, visual context, non-driving related tasks, and seating. These models will build upon models developed at TU Delft capturing:
a) visual and vestibular sensory integration in motion perception,
b) postural stabilisation using large-scale biomechanical models, and
c) seat interaction.
