Research projects and studies

Key points

Based on many years of experience in accident data collection and analysis, the MHH's traffic accident research department is a competent partner for research projects and studies relating to road safety. We work in an interdisciplinary team. If certain specialist areas cannot be covered by our own staff, we have a wide network of experts with whom we cooperate.

Our research focuses on the following areas

data collection

Additional individual variables to supplement the GIDAS survey at the accident scene
additional accident surveys
Observational studies (e.g. use of safety equipment)
Survey studies (e.g. with the help of online surveys)

Data analyses

Evaluation of GIDAS data
Evaluation of national traffic accident data
Evaluation of hospital data
