Academic progress, new safety solutions
A ground-breaking forum
Autoliv is known for leading the market. Nearly 40 years ago we pioneered a unique mobility safety forum. Our distinguished members, all experts in their field, exchange ideas, theories and insights. This results in both academic progress and new mobility safety solutions and strategies
Research Advisory Board
Our members have deep insights in technical development and research, ranging from biomechanics to autonomous driving.
The Autoliv Research Advisory Board was initially established in 1984 and since then provides insights and intelligence to support Autoliv’s research efforts. Participating members are expected to discuss Autoliv's strategic way forward to ensure we continue to be the market leader and save more lives. An external perspective with recognized experts in relevant focus areas provide a balanced outside-in perspective. The meetings are chaired by the CEO (executed by VP research) and constitutes of a yearly two-day face-to-face meeting with one or two virtual meetings in between. Every year the Autoliv CEO and CTO present a strategic update on company level as well as for the technology road map. The remaining part of the meeting is concentrating on strategic R&D projects, an overview of the regulatory landscape, strategic partnerships, method development and demonstrations.

Bryan Reimer
Bryan Reimer, Ph.D., is a Research Scientist in the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, a researcher in the AgeLab, and the Associate Director of The New England University Transportation Center at MIT. Bryan’s research seeks to develop theoretical and applied insight into driver behavior. His work aims to find solutions to the next generation of human factors challenges associated with driver attention management, distraction, automation and the use of advanced driver assistance systems to maximize mobility and safety. His work informs technology development, business strategy, and public policy. He founded and leads several academic partnerships with industry. The Advanced Human Factors Evaluator for Attentional Demand (AHEAD) consortium aims to develop the next generation of driver attention measurement tools. The Advanced Vehicle Technology (AVT) consortium seeks to understand how drivers use emerging, commercially available vehicle technologies, including advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving systems.
Dr. Reimer collaborates with industries worldwide on the topics of driver safety, vehicle automation, technological concerns related to human factors, and the future of mobility. He is a member of the Autoliv Research Advisory Board and serves as an advisor to several startups in the mobility space. A seasoned conference and event presenter, Reimer has provided keynote addresses on the topics of driver attention and vehicle automation. His 2018 TEDx talk, “There’s more to the safety of driverless cars than AI”, he discusses the undertreated health crisis on our roads and the limits of focusing on automation alone as a solution
Dr. Reimer is the 2019 recipient of the Jack A. Kraft Innovator Award from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES). He received an inaugural 2018 Autos2050 Impact Award for his innovative contributions to the automotive industry. He is an author on over 250 technical contributions, a Contributor to Forbes, and a graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a Ph.D. in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering.
