SUMMARY:VIC Branch AGM 2021 with Presentation by Emeritus Professor Mike Re
 gan
DESCRIPTION:The HFESA VIC Branch AGM (with presentation by Emeritus Profess
 or Mike Regan) will be held on Thursday 7th October 2021 at 6.30pm via Zoo
 m\n\nRegistration is required to attend this meeting. After registering\, 
 you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining
  the meeting.\n\nThe AGM formalities will commence at 6:30 pm and conclude
  around 7:15 pm.\n\nThis will be followed by a presentation by Emeritus Pr
 ofessor Mike Regan’s on "User-Centred Design of the Transport System to 
 Reduce Road Trauma".\n\nProfessor Michael (Mike) Regan is an Emeritus Prof
 essor with the University of NSW Sydney Research Centre for Integrated Tra
 nsport Innovation (rCITI). Prior to that he was Professor of Human Factor
 s with rCITI\, and before that Chief Scientist - Human Factors with the Au
 stralian Road Research Board (ARRB). Mike has Bachelor of Science (Hons) a
 nd PhD degrees in Psychology and Human Factors from the Australian Nationa
 l University and around 25 years’ experience in transportation human fac
 tors and road safety research and teaching - in Australia\, France and the
  US.  His current research interests include driver distraction and inat
 tention\, driver interaction with automated vehicles and human factors in 
 road design and traffic engineering. Mike has authored and co-authored aro
 und 250 peer-reviewed publications\, including 4 books\, and designed and 
 delivered in 2019 Australia’s first undergraduate course in Human Factor
 s for Civil and Transport Engineers. He was the 25th President of the Huma
 n Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia and was\, in earlier times\,
  Chairman of the ACT Branch of the Society. In 2019\, Mike was awarded Fel
 lowship of the Australasian College of Road Safety for “His outstanding 
 contribution to research\, education and policy in transport human factors
  and road safety”. Mike returned permanently to Melbourne with his wife 
 earlier this year\, after 15 years away in Sydney and overseas.\n\n\n\nMik
 e will presenting on a recent submission that he and Professor Ann William
 son prepared\, on behalf of the HFESA\, for the Joint Senate Select Commit
 tee on Road Safety Inquiry into Road Safety.  The premise of the submissi
 on is that many of the "human errors" that occur across the transport syst
 em derive from systemic failures to design vehicles\, roads and traffic ma
 nagement infrastructure form a user-centred perspective.  In the Submissi
 on\, Mike and Ann describe some high level\, high impact\, measures that c
 ould be implemented to ensure that\, in future\, user-centred design is at
  the very centre of vehicle\, road and infrastructure design and thinking.
  Mike will be presenting their collective thinking in this area\, and some
  preliminary research he has done relating to the topic.\n\n&nbsp\;
