Vehicle Safety Institute - TU Graz

Current research at the Vehicle Safety Institute at Graz University of Technology focuses on safety of vehicles with different levels of automation, safety of alternatively powered vehicle concepts and development of methods for the evaluation of systems to prevent accidents and reduce injuries. Therefore, basic research in the interdisciplinary fields of "Safety Aspects of Electric Energy Storage Systems", "Critical Traffic Scenarios", "Human Modeling with focus on Trauma Biomechanics" and "Crashworthiness of (Bio)Materials" is carried out. In each of these fundamental areas, investigations are performed both by means of numerical simulations (e.g. explicit finite element simulations) and experiments. A wide variety of data analysis methods (e.g. machine learning) are used, which are continuously improved.
