معرفی
Josef F. Krems is a Professor of Cognitive and Engineering Psychology at Chemnitz University of Technology, specializing in human factors for vehicle automation systems. His research bridges cognitive science and engineering to address critical challenges in automated driving environments.
His academic foundation includes:
- Graduation from University of Regensburg (1980)
- PhD in Psychology from University of Regensburg (1984)
- Habilitation on Computer Modeling and Expert Systems (1990)
Prof. Krems' research focuses on the psychological dimensions of human-automation interaction, particularly examining mode awareness transitions, vigilance degradation during supervisory control, and trust calibration in automated vehicles. His work investigates how reduced driver engagement affects situation awareness and explores communication protocols between autonomous vehicles and road users.
His current projects specifically target electro-mobility integration, advanced driver assistance systems, and user experience optimization in highly automated driving contexts. The research emphasizes practical applications for improving safety, comfort, and acceptance of vehicle automation technologies through human-centered design principles.
Prof. Krems maintains active academic collaborations including visiting positions at Ohio State University (1991-1993), University of Potsdam (1994-1995), and Chung-Keng University Taiwan (2006), contributing to international discourse on cognitive systems and human-computer interaction in transportation.
