Dear Colleagues,
I'm a second year PhD research student from Loughborough University Design School. My research topic is 'To investigate the system levels’ impacts and benefits involved in the transition from Manual to Autonomous Vehicle'. My supervisors are Professor Pete Thomas from the Design School and Dr Marcus Enoch from the School of Civil and Building Engineering.
I have been focusing my research on assessing/predicting the safety impacts and benefits of advanced technologies of autonomous vehicles involved in transition phase. I'm intending to use the micro-simulation tool (VISSIM) to simulate the functionality of the vehicles technology and then use Surrogate Safety Assessment Model (SSAM) to evaluate the safety impacts.
Currently I'm looking for the data source which could be used to build my baseline model. Does anyone know there might be some data available in your organisation (particularly junctions in rural or area mixed with urban) that could be made available for my research? If you think there is a possibility in this regard, please could you let me know and perhaps a meeting could be set up to discuss possible ways we can collaborate?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Hua Sha
