User-centric solutions to optimise safety of children in cars

在全球范围内，不正确使用儿童约束装置和不适当使用成人安全带是普遍和长期存在的问题。仅在澳大利亚，就有200万儿童由于缺乏对如何解决这些问题的理解而面临更大的受伤风险。我们率先开发了以用户为中心的新方法，结合行为理论有效地解决这些问题。在这个项目中，我们将建立并扩展这些创新方法，以提供关于如何(i)与父母沟通以确保有关约束的行为和决策优化安全性的新理解，以及（ii）用户驱动设计可以解决阻碍汽车最佳保护的问题。

Globally, incorrect use of child restraints and inappropriate use of adult seat belts are widespread and longstanding problems. In Australia alone >2 million children are at increased risk of injury because of the lack of understanding about how to solve these problems. We have pioneered development of methods to allow novel user-centred approaches coupled with behavioural theory to effectively tackle these problems. In this project we will build on and extend these innovative methods to to deliver new understanding about how (i) to communicate with parents to ensure behaviours and decisions about restraint optimise safety, and (ii) user-driven design can solve problems inhibiting optimal protection of in cars.
