Research
- The aim of the research is to map parameters influencing the risk to be
injured in road traffic accidents. The different projects are to a large
extent based on accident data from Folksam, where an important source of
information comes from crash pulse recorders, so called black boxes. They
give information of the forces acting on the human in a crash. Together with
data on injury outcome, detailed information of the car, the use of restraint
systems and of how the road environment was designed, factors influencing the
injury outcome are analyzed. The research is also based on more comprehensive
data but with lower degree of detail, such as all crashes reported in Sweden
reported by the police and hospitals (STRADA). These studies are more of an
epidemiological kind.
