Human Technology Centre of Excellence

The Human Technology Centre of Excellence (HTCE) provides a truly integrated business-driven approach to human machine interface (HMI) customer-focussed innovation, aligned to automotive and transport solutions.

Aims

Our aim is to pioneer a unique human-centred approach to design and engineering, which will become a world-renowned centre of excellence and can deliver a remarkable change in the development of transport systems.

Approach

The HTCE has created a unique multi-disciplinary, inter-School/Faculty approach which is targeted at business needs, and which can take concept, virtual and real designs and evaluate them from a number of different human perspectives (e.g. physiological, psychological) - providing significant cost savings in terms of prototyping and product development.

Team

The HTCE Team currently comprises of over 20 academics who are currently working with colleagues from the automotive industry and other associated industries on a variety of projects.
