Unfallforschung

Unfallforschung, or accident research, is the scientific study of how and why accidents occur, especially traffic collisions. It involves analyzing accident data, understanding the factors involved—such as vehicle mechanics, driver behavior, and environmental conditions—and identifying safety issues. The goal is to improve road safety by developing better vehicle designs, road infrastructure, and safety regulations. This research helps authorities and manufacturers implement measures that prevent accidents or reduce their severity, ultimately saving lives and minimizing injuries.
