Sebastien Glaser

Professor Sebastien Glaser is a faculty member at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), holding the position of Professor in Intelligent Transportation Systems within the School of Psychology & Counselling under the Faculty of Health. He leads the Centre for Accident Research & Road Safety – Queensland (CARRS-Q), focusing on safe and sustainable deployment of Automated Driving Systems (ADS) interacting with road users. He earned his PhD in Automatic and Control from Université d'Evry Val d'Essonne in 2004 and has held senior research roles, including Deputy Director and Director of LIVIC (IFSTTAR) and Project Leader at VEDECOM. His research bridges academic and industrial sectors, with a focus on connected/autonomous vehicles (CAV), driver-vehicle interaction, and safety evaluation.

Research & Projects: Key projects include leading the French ABV project (low-speed CAV development), EU initiatives like AutoMate (driver-automation interaction) and ADAS&Me (advanced driver assistance systems). He contributed to technological roadmaps for autonomous vehicles in France and led collaborations across 8 academic/industry partners. Current research explores human-centric explanations for automated vehicles, multimodal AI for traffic safety, and eco-routing with safety metrics.

Publications & Impact: Over 30+ peer-reviewed articles (2023-2025) span AI-driven safety analytics, multimodal learning for combinatorial problems, and human factors in automated systems. His work emphasizes real-world applications of AI in transportation, including risk estimation for connected autonomous vehicles and predicting driver behavior at intersections.

Awards & Grants: While no explicit awards are noted, his leadership in high-profile EU and French national projects (ANR, FP7/H2020) underscores his recognition. He has secured grants totaling millions across multiple initiatives.

Labs & Teams: CARRS-Q serves as his primary research hub, focusing on accident research and road safety innovation. Collaborations include ESI Group (via CIVITEC) and public-private partnerships like VEDECOM.
