[Award] Peihang Li Receives PPTG Student Research Grant

HiACE Lab PhD student Peihang Li, supervised by Dr. Nade Liang, received the PPTG Student Research Grant from the Perception and Performance Technical Group of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES).

The award provides support for Peihang’s ongoing research in transportation safety and human factors. As part of the recognition, he was invited to present his work during the PPTG social event and contribute a summary of the study to the PPTG newsletter.

The funded proposal, “Risk Perception and Driver Adaptation in Dynamic Traffic Environments,” investigates how drivers perceive and adapt to transitions in traffic density and speed conditions. Using a driving simulator and physiological measures such as eye-tracking and galvanic skin response, the study examines how perceived risk influences driver behavior and decision-making.
