After completing the course the student will be able to analyze the documents for the analysis of the collision of vehicles, decide on their quality and possibly propose methods to supplement them. He / she will be able to evaluate measurement data during vehicle maneuvers and crash tests, and subsequently to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the accident process, determine the technical cause of the accident and address the possibilities of avoiding the collision by individual participants.
In addition to the accident analysis, the student will have experience with the use of modern techniques used in driving and crash tests. Students with these skills can find employment among others in research organizations or in the departments of development of car manufacturers or passive safety elements for the automotive industry.

Knowledge of basics of vehicle movement mechanics, laws of conservation, Newton’s laws and their application

Not applicable.

Teaching is carried out through lectures and seminars. Lectures consist of interpretations of basic principles, methodology of given discipline, problems and their exemplary solutions. Seminars particularly support practical mastery of subject matter presented in lectures or assigned for individual study with the active participation of students.

Credit conditions - obtaining at least 150 points out of 200 possible (2 × 50 continuous test in about the 5th and 9th week of the semester, 100 per semester project).
Exam will consist of written part and oral part.

Not applicable.

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic principles of impact, graphical and numerical methods of solving the impact and their application to specific solved partial tasks with subsequent use in a complex analysis of accident events. They will also be acquainted with methods of measurement with the aim of obtaining data for dealing with collision of vehicles or movement of crew in the vehicle.

Attendance in seminars checked with attendance list.
