The focus areas of the Centres will be on Road Safety, Patient Safety, Industrial Safety and Standards through data-driven policy-making, Human Factor Engineering, Behavioral & cognitive Real Money Rummy, and Rehabilitation Engineering, and collect inputs and expertise from organizations in the areas of structural integrity assessment and failure investigation of safety critical structures and components.
Human Factors & Safety Science
Centre of Excellence for human factors and safety sciences (CoEHfS) focuses on a data driven approach for safe systems. This centre will be focusing on applying principles of Human Factors Engineering and Behavioural/ Cognitive science in various domains such as Road Safety, Patient Safety, Industrial Safety. Outcome of these work will be bringing about a data-driven approach to public policy, strategy development, developing Standards/ regulation and enforcement. This will help in developing new products/ process and enable the participating stakeholders to excel globally in their performance.
