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.
