Age Differences in the Situation Awareness and Takeover Performance in a Semi-Autonomous Vehicle Simulator
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-26)Research on young and elderly drivers indicates a high crash risk amongst these drivers in comparison to other age groups of drivers. Young drivers have a greater propensity to adopt a risky driving style and behaviors ... -
Augmented Reality for Indoor Navigation and Task Guidance
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-09)Modern augmented reality systems are becoming increasingly popular in different industrial sectors as augmented reality based applications can improve performance and reduce workload during operations. The efficacy of such ... -
Design and Evaluation of Virtual Reality Exergames for People Living with Dementia
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-31)Dementias such as Alzheimer’s disease are a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with consequences such as cognitive impairment and memory problems. While exercise is important to improve physical health and quality ... -
Detection of Driver Cognitive Distraction Using Machine Learning Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-02)Autonomous vehicles seem to be closer than expected on their timeline. However, there is still a decade of driving manual as well as semi-autonomous vehicles before we can experience completely automated vehicles on the ... -
Examining the Importance of Understanding During Training: An Industrial Perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-14)Human error is an inevitable existence in virtually all tasks in which an issue arises as humans are almost always directly or indirectly involved with the process. Researchers have examined many past accidents and ... -
Human Factors in Esports: Investigating performance measures, coaching practices, and stress training in League of Legends
(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-12)This thesis examined a constant problem in Esports in which players do not perform to their expected potential when under stress (also known as choking). The Esports scene is growing exponentially, with teams valued at ... -
Modeling Pilot Flight Performance on Pre-flight and Take-off Tasks with A Cognitive Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-26)Models of cognitive architecture can be used to simulate and forecast human performance in complicated human-machine systems. The current work demonstrates a pilot model capable of performing and simulating pre-flight ... -
Modelling Level 1 Situation Awareness in Driving: A Cognitive Architecture Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-29)The goal of this research is to computationally model and simulate the collective drivers’ Level I Situation Awareness (SA). I developed a computational model in a cognitive architecture that can interact with a driving ... -
Smart Lighting and Student Performance: A Novel System Design, Implementation, and Effects in Classrooms
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-14)As one of the most essential factors of learning environment, lighting in classroom has been found to have significant impact on student performance. Moreover, brightness level and correlated color temperature (CCT) are ...
