About

Scott B. Zagorski is a leading researcher in vehicle dynamics, safety systems, and automated testing, with a focus on off-highway and recreational vehicles. His work bridges the gap between physical testing and autonomous technology, advancing both occupant protection and the validation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Zagorski’s most cited paper (10 citations) introduces a validated two-degree-of-freedom Roll Simulator for Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles (ROVs), providing critical insights into occupant kinematics during rollover events. He also developed an Electronic Stability Control (ESC) algorithm for All-Terrain Vehicles, implemented on SEA’s Robotic Test Driver to enable unmanned stability interventions. More recently, Zagorski introduced the STRIDE platform—a small test robot designed to carry vulnerable road user targets for ADAS testing, addressing a growing need for realistic, repeatable safety evaluations. With a career marked by innovation in both simulation and real-world testing, Zagorski’s contributions are shaping the next generation of vehicle safety and autonomous system validation.
