Lisa says …
“ I have a keen interest |
in |
seeing |
my |
research |
having an impact on policy |
and |
practice |
to |
reduce |
the |
numbers |
of |
people |
being killed and injured |
on |
the |
roads . |
For |
this |
reason , I am happy to help |
practitioners |
who |
want |
to make use of academic |
research to ensure road |
safety |

evidence-based and fit for |
purpose .” |
I am now an Associate Professor of Driver Behaviour and Research Director for DriverMetrics , a Cranfield University spin-out company to exploit my research in the design of driver risk assessments and driver safety interventions .
I have been a Principal Investigator on a range of driver behaviour projects funded by the EU , EPSRC , ESRC , government agencies and industry . I am Past President of the International Association of Applied Psychology : Traffic and Transport Psychology Division , a member of the Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society . In 2004 and in 2016 I received the International Prince Michael Award for Road Safety .
I have edited 17 books and published over 50 research papers . Currently I am the academic lead on a four year research programme on making traffic safer through behaviour-changing nudging measures on a € 7.1m EUfinanced Horizon 2020 project . The project aims to reduce the number and severity of road accidents by directly changing habitual traffic behaviour and ends in 2022 .
