1 Susan T. Chrysler, Ph.D. Senior Research Scientist Sue Chrysler is a human factors psychologist and Senior Research Scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute in the Traffic Operations and Roadway Safety Division. Dr. Chrysler works collaboratively with traffic engineers to evaluate roadway user response to changes in operations and roadway design. Her research methods include driving simulation, instrumented vehicles on closed courses and open road, eye-tracking systems, physiological measures of workload as well as survey and focus groups. Throughout her 23 year career, Dr. Chrysler has been a leader in professional societies and standards committees. Dr. Chrysler has served as Principal Investigator or task leader on over 40 projects. In this leadership role she has negotiated and executed research contracts with federal, state, and local transportation agencies as well as private companies and foundations. She has worked collaboratively with a wide variety of academic and private sector partners on U.S. Department of Transportation indefinite deliverable indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. She is an instructor for the National Highway Institute course New Approaches to Highway Safety focusing on the human factors approach to countermeasure selection.
