Effectively addressing the worldwide problem of traffic safety relies on the application of evidence-based knowledge of real-world events. Countermeasures should be informed by the human, vehicle and environmental factors which contribute to real crashes and real injury. This course considers the theoretical and practical aspects of techniques applied to the in-depth analysis of real crashes, and how they can help to explain the pre-, during and post-crash events which result in human injury. More specifically the following topics are discussed: Introduction to crash analysis, precautionary measures for working on location, vehicle inspection, analysing the crash site, collecting information from witnesses, applying basic mathematics and physics concepts to in-depth crash analysis, analysis of injury data, development of vehicle safety technology and safety regulations, development of safe infrastructure design, road safety in low to middle income countries (LMIC’s) and the contribution of human factors to crash events.
This course is taught during an intensive course of one week consisting of lectures and practical sessions. Outside the classroom, students are expected to work independently on pre-prepared study materials and assignments.

Semester 2 (6,00sp)
| Evaluation method | |
|
| Written evaluation during teaching period | 100 % |
|
| Transfer of partial marks within the academic year | ✔ |
|
| Conditions transfer of partial marks within the academic year | In case of min 10/20 on the individual paper assignments, this score
will be retained in the academic year. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Use of study material during evaluation | ✔ |
|
| Explanation (English) | For the two individual paper assignments, students are expected to use the course materials as well as consult additional scientific literature. |
|
|
|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | 1) Timely submission of all required assignments (e.g. the two paper assignments) is mandatory to obtain a final mark.
2) A minimum score of ≥ 10/20 must be obtained on each of the two paper assignments in order to pass the course. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | 1) Failure to submit compulsory assignments on time (e.g. the two paper assignments) may result in a score of 0 for the (part of the) course.
2) If the student scores less than 10/20 on one or both of the two paper assignments, the lowest of these partial marks will be recorded as the final mark for that examination period. |
|
|
|
| Additional information | There is no formal exam for this course. Evaluation is based entirely on two individual paper assignments, each accounting for 50% of the final mark. Further details about the content of these assignments will be provided during the lectures. |
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | Assignments with a passing score (≥ 10/20) in the first exam period will
retain their result. The student must revise only the assignment(s) for
which a passing score was not obtained in the first examination period.
If a student has a second examination opportunity, it is their
responsibility to contact the lecturer in time to clarify which
components must be retaken.
