Modelling Driver Behaviour in Automotive Environments

Carlo Cacciabue is an internationally-renowned expert on safety-critical systems and accident investigation, and an experienced consultant. He is a senior scientist in the Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen, at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, Ispra, Italy. He holds a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and retains a number of temporary academic positions in Italian and European universities. He is the author of two monographs and of several publications in journals and books relating to safety engineering and human-machine interaction in the domains of energy production and transportation. He is the principal Editor, together with E. Hollnagel, of Springer's International Journal of Cognition, Technology & Work.
