Projects and articles of Bart Ons

Bart Ons

Researcher
Bart Ons is a doctor in Psychology and Engineering Sciences. He focuses on the behaviour of road users and the impact of new technologies such as ADAS, self-driving vehicles, and C-ITS. Bart investigates how traffic information and driver assistance systems influence driving behaviour and studies the acceptance of these innovations. He is also involved in modelling and simulations to analyse the effects of self-driving vehicles on traffic safety and traffic flow. As a data analyst, he works on the development and processing of databases.
