Henrietta Howarth

Hello, I’m Henrietta. I am a Senior Research Fellow within the Human Factors Engineering Team of the Transportation Research Group. I am leading University of Southampton’s research activities focussed on inclusive design of a Mobility as a Service app for the Solent area. My research contributes to the DfT’s Future Transport Zone programme and is aimed at encouraging behavioural change towards more sustainable and active travel for all. I joined the group to share and hear insights that support equitable practices in research and design.

I have conducted many human factors research projects on human comfort, health, performance and motion sickness in motion environments  for rail, automotive, aircraft and marine and construction companies, the MoD and governmental organisations. I am a keen cyclist and aim to encourage more women to take up this enjoyable sport and leisure activity.
