NARRATIVE Walter W. Wierwille is Paul T. Norton Professor Emeritus of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech, and has been involved in transportation research for most of his career. From 1972 through 1996 he also held the position of Director of the Vehicle Analysis and Simulation Laboratory at Virginia Tech. Since 1996 he has served as principal investigator for several of Virginia Tech Transportation Institute’s largest research projects, and has provided both technical and managerial leadership. Dr. Wierwille is a Fellow of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, he served as a Senior Member of the IEEE and the IIE and a member of SAE, SID, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, Sigma Tau, Eta Kappa Nu and Alpha Pi Mu. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in Virginia (Cert. 6224). He has authored or co-authored more than 250 publications, with many of these in prestigious journals. (Most are listed near the end of this document.) He has made large numbers of presentations before professional societies and sponsoring agencies, and several of his presentations and publications have been in Europe. He has served as a consultant to a number of government and major industrial organizations on transportation-related problems, including 30 years of consulting and research for various entities of the General Motors Corporation and the U.S. Government. He has received three national awards from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society: the A. R. Lauer Traffic Safety Award for his contributions to the understanding of driver behavior (1983), the Jerome H. Ely Award for authorship of the most outstanding paper published in HumanFactors (1983), and the Paul M. Fitts Award for exceptional contributions to the education of human factors professionals (1993). Recently he received the A. T. Colwell Award from the SAE, along with his colleagues R. Hanowski and W. A. Schaudt for the most outstanding paper contribution at a recent international meeting. He is well known for his research work on driver-vehicle systems, in-vehicle driver workload evaluation, simulator and instrumented vehicle testing, impaired driver detection, and general applications of human factors research and engineering techniques to driver-vehicle systems. Dr. Wierwille has served as principal investigator for more than 30 research projects in transportation. Dr. Wierwille’s most recent research has been in field deployment of drowsy driver detection and countermeasure systems, the study of enhanced rear lighting configurations to reduce the number of rear-end crashes, the improvement of understanding of driver error, and the use of automated instrumentation to gather naturalistic driver data, with particular emphasis on eye glance behavior during lane changes.
