An automobile is a human-operated mobile machine and an excellent example of man-machine systems. Clearly, every such system is required not only to have the basic performance of running, turning and stopping, but also to provide comfortable driving and responsive handling.

In the field of mechanical engineering, we contribute to the development of vehicle technology that improves the performance, efficiency and active safety of automobiles through the research on the control, kinetic and vibration analyses and tribology.

In the field of human engineering, on the other hand, we contribute to the improvement of pleasantness by analyzing the effects of visual and audio stimuli on the human psychological and physiological approach. In addition, the research on biomechanical analysis has been carried out to increase the passive safety of automobiles.
