The newly established laboratory has started to implement a series of studies on driving safety. Some of these are summarised in the following examples:

• Conducting research among elderly people in observational and reaction scenarios in a simulated environment.
• Conducting a study among underage traffic offenders in a simulated driving simulation in observational and simulated driving situations.
• Conducting research among young drivers in different scenarios of road behaviour and their association with specific behavioural patterns.
• Conduct a survey among professional drivers in scenarios of road behaviour in extreme weather conditions.

The results of the above studies will be published on this page after their completion.
