Swinburne researcher funded to help reduce impact of drug-affected driving
Senior Research Fellow at Swinburne’s Centre for Human Psychopharmacology, Dr Amie Hayley, has been awarded a four-year Al and Val Rosenstrauss Fellowship to further her research into how chronic methamphetamine use affects driving skills and performance.
Dr Hayley will investigate how long-term use of methamphetamines affects driving to optimise the development of technologies designed to detect and monitor driver state in real time.
This work will advance understanding of how ocular-based technologies can be used to detect and monitor driver impairment during different phases of methamphetamine use. It will also directly contribute to the co-development of novel driver-state monitoring systems to detect methamphetamine-affected drivers in real time.
