Vacancies for 4 new staff members at the research centre Applications of 
Integrated Driver Assistance 

Driver assistance systems and services support or take over the tasks of 
driver. Examples are Adaptive Cruise Control and Navigation systems that 
use real-time traffic information. But to what extend can they improve 
traffic safety, traffic efficiency and environmental impacts and driver 
comfort?  

The Applications of Integrated Driver Assistance (AIDA) research centre 
focuses on the analysis and modelling of the interaction between driver 
assistance systems and services, driver behaviour and traffic flow 
behaviour. It was established in 2003 at the University of Twente together 
with the Netherlands organization of applied scientific research TNO. AIDA 
is located at the Faculty of Engineering Technology of the University of 
Twente at the Center for Transport Studies and the Laboratory of Design, 
Production and Management. AIDA gives a course on Intelligent Transport 
Systems and supervises 4-5 Master students each year.  

AIDA is looking for new staff members for the following projects:

1.Route choice and traffic safety
2.Traffic flow based specifications for Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control
3.Development of a simulation framework for driver assistance systems and 
services
4.Human factors in the design process of cooperative driver assistance 
systems

You have a Master or PhD degree in a relevant discipline, such as civil 
engineering, applied mathematics, information technology with excellent 
modeling skills. You preferably have experience in the field of traffic 
flow modeling, human factors or driver assistance systems. For project 4, 
you may have a background in human factors or product/interaction design. 
You like to work in a multidisciplinary work environment. You have 
excellent communication skills both orally and written in English and 
preferably in Dutch.

Depending on your qualifications we offer a temporary contract of 1 year 
minimum as a researcher (monthly salary €  2279-4190), PhD researcher (€  
1956-2502) or assistant-professor   (€ 2740-4190). The position of 
assistant-professor requires a PhD degree as well as proven teaching 
capabilities. Extension of the contract is possible based on the 
availability of new projects. Part-time arrangements are possible. The 
University of Twente provides excellent facilities for professional and 
personal development.
