Personal profile
After graduating from Loughborough University in 1997 with a BSc (Hons) in Ergonomics, Claire joined ICE Ergonomics at the University as a researcher in the Transport Unit, working on a number of UK government funded projects, investigating vehicle conspicuity and driver vision.
Since joining the TSRC in 2003 as a senior researcher, Claire has worked on a number of European Commission funded projects. In the RISER project (Road Infrastructure for Safer European Roads), Claire's main responsibilities included developing an in-depth database for single vehicle 'run-off-the-road' accidents and analysis of the data to obtain a greater understanding of the causes of single vehicle accidents, the types of objects struck when vehicles leave the road and the injury mechanisms.
In the EC TRACE project (Traffic Accident Causation in Europe), Claire was involved in developing an innovative human factors methodology for evaluating the role of human functional failures in road accidents and analysing European accident data to identify the main causes of accidents across Europe.
Claire has also worked on the UK Department for Transport and Highways Agency co-funded On The Spot (OTS) project, specialising in the appraisal of OTS cases to identify highway safety issues for motorists and vulnerable road users.
Claire is currently working on SaferBraIn, which is another EC funded project aiming to develop Innovative Guidelines and Tools for Vulnerable Road User Safety in Brazil and India, and she is responsible for co-ordinating the TSRC's role in the project.
Claire is a graduate member of the Ergonomics Society.
