The research group deals with road traffic safety and road user behaviour related to safety. The research topics cover:

• statistical accident analysis and accident modelling
• surrogate measures of safety and pro-active safety analysis
• evaluation of road safety measures
• safety of vulnerable road users, including single accidents
• microscopic traffic modelling and virtual reality simulations applied for safety studies
• accident under-reporting and safety data quality
• application of emerging technologies (e.g. video analysis, drones) for safety data collection
• traffic modelling for safety analysis in case of evacuation scenarios
• pedestrian dynamics and safety
• traffic safety issues in non-Western countries
