Project Title: How much do they recall? Measuring the effect of safety training on human memory

Safety training is important. It reduces accidents in dangerous workplaces, such as construction sites. And it is important to refresh training to ensure people retain the lessons. But the recommended intervals between sessions vary wildly (from 6 months for building evacuations to 24 months for construction workers), because no one knows how long people retain the information. In this study, we will compare the efficacy of practical, theoretical, and virtual reality training. Our findings will ensure that the design and implementation of safety training programmes is empirically based. We will provide a sound scientific foundation for safety regulations worldwide.

Project Title: Evacuee Tracking using Kinects

This project aims at developing an automatic system that can detect evacuees and measure their speed and densities while moving toward a safe place. This project uses smart cameras (i.e. Microsoft Kinects) and Artificial Intelligence to record and analyze data in real-time.
