    Toshihisa Sato

    Leader, Human Behavior Research Team
    Human-Centered Mobility Research Center (HCMRC)
    National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)
    Japan

    Dr. Toshihisa Sato works as a team leader at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).
    He received his master thesis (2001) and Ph.D. (2005) at Keio University. His research backgrounds are human factors, human-computer interface/interaction, behavioral analysis, and modelling. In 2016, he joined the 1st phase human factors research program of SIP-adus, and he was a leader of “TASK B (evaluation of driver states and takeover performances to develop driver monitoring system)”. He has been involved in one task of the 2nd phase human factors programs of SIP-adus, focusing on the development of evaluation methods of driver’s OEDR (Object and Event Detection and Response) and HMI for enhancing driver’ take-over in a transition from automated to manual driving.

    Rino Brouwer

    Senior Advisor Human Factors and Automated Vehicles
    Smart Mobility
    Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management
    Netherlands

    Together with my colleagues from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management and colleagues from the RDW (the type approval authority in the Netherlands) I represent the Dutch government in the UNECE to ensure that the user needs with respect to automated vehicles are taken into account. In short we introduce Human Factors in legislation with respect to automated vehicles. Besides that I initiate research developing knowledge on how Human Factors related questions can be tested within the type approval process. Before working for the ministry I worked for 20 years as a behavioral researcher at TNO where I was involved in several national, international, and commercial projects on the effects of infrastructure on driving behavior or the effects of in-vehicle systems on driving behavior. We used driving simulators and instrumented vehicles for our research. And even longer ago I did my PhD at the Leiden University on visual information processing and selection.
