Dr Jamie Mackenzie is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at CASR, where he has worked since 2008. Jamie has a degree in Mechatronic Engineering and completed a PhD in 2015 that used computer simulations to investigate the effects of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) braking interventions on high speed rural road crashes. He is an experienced data analyst, having previously worked on projects that utilised safety camera infringement data, workers compensation data, vehicle specification data, vehicle registration data, and (frequently) crash data. As the head of vehicle safety at CASR, Jamie is familiar with the operation and limitations of many in-vehicle technologies. He is particularly familiar with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW) systems, having modelled their operation in computer simulations to estimate their response to various crash scenarios.
