Traffic & Accident Research at TU Dresden (VUFO) uses data-based findings to ensure greater road safety!
Our team records and analyzes around 1,000 traffic accidents with personal injury in the greater Dresden area every year as part of the GIDAS accident research project. Accident recording is constantly supplemented by modern survey methods in order to collect valid data to further increase road safety.
Our data analysts carry out studies and investigations based on national and international data – with a particular focus on vehicle and road safety. Their findings are incorporated into laws, guidelines, further developments in vehicle safety and preventive measures such as assistance systems and autonomous driving.
Our scenarios are suitable for evaluating and safeguarding driver assistance systems and automated driving functions. They are based on real accident situations from our databases. We transfer the scenarios into simulation formats using special processes.
With the help of accident simulations, our experts carry out detailed studies on the pre-collision accident phase. This enables us to provide you with valuable data to prevent vehicle collisions.
We regularly offer training and further education in the areas of data acquisition, reconstruction, data analysis and simulation of traffic accidents.
We are pleased to cooperate with the GTÜ Academy and CTS in the field of further training for experts.
The VUFO is obliged to provide high-quality accident data, carry out interdisciplinary research projects, develop innovative methods for data analysis and accident prevention, and contribute to the design of mobility regulations. It advises industry partners and institutions on road safety issues and imparts its expertise through training courses.
We work with strong partners in the automotive industry, both in the manufacture of vehicles, vehicle components and safety systems, as well as in connection with automotive operation and vehicle safety services.
