Carolyn,
Your aspire announcement reminded me that I should probably share this with the educators TG
Ultimate Crash Test. NOVA. May 7/May 14, 2025. Part 1 setting up the experiment. https://bit.ly/4e61frX ; Part 2 https://bit.ly/45XcuAY . "Forensic science is put to the test after a first-of-its-kind staged pileup." Part One describes the complexity of designing an experiment in which eight drivers, with various levels of experience, drive eight different vehicles by remote control at 70 mph down an abandoned runway which is suddenly blocked by a remotely controlled tandem trailer. This leads to an extremely well documented multivehicle pileup. Part Two describes the subsequent analysis processes used by accident investigators, who were not participants in the experiment. Videos and interviews of the drivers provide insights into their decision-making. Cranfield University has produced a video which provides a memorable and informative introduction to human factors and accident investigation.
The Silicon Valley Way: Move fast and break...aviation safety? By David Woods, Mike Rayo and Shawn Pruchnicki, May 29, 2025. https://bit.ly/3ZuQ5qY / "The Silicon Valley Way is captured in the mantra "move fast and break things." However, rapid change and increasingly sophisticated technologies can create more or different risks within the layers of interconnected systems and people, which must work together seamlessly under varying conditions to make flying safe for the millions who board planes every day. At its core, the move fast and break things strategy asserts its mistakes are justifiable no matter how big they are. "
Glad to see that you are still active in this area
