Between 20 and 50 million suffer non-fatal injuries. WHO predicts: Road traffic injuries - fifth leading cause of death World Health Organization, Global status report on road safety

3 Road fatalities per 100,000 population EU (reported) Sweden (reported) India (reported) World (reported) India (WHO estimate) World (WHO estimate) Sources: CARE 2013; Road accidents in India 2011; STRADA 2013; WHO

4 Focus topics Incidents and accidents Driver state and behaviour Design for accident prevention Methods for evaluation of vehicle and traffic safety Safety for novel vehicles and vehicle combinations Human Body Protection Care and Rescue 4

5 Open innovation - neutral arena Create and transfer new knowledge Base for international collaborations 280 persons hold keys to SAFER o 11 SAFER research programmes 84 collaborative projects Impact Christian Grante, Volvo Lotta Jakobsson Volvo Cars Bengt-Arne Sjöqvist, Chalmers Pre-crash Crash Traffic Safety Analysis Postcrash Rob Thomson, Chalmers Each programme governed by reference group all partners hold a seat 5

6 Chalmers Anna Nilsson-Ehle Director, SAFER Coordinator, Traffic Safety at Chalmers Our vision is to be among the internationally leading universities with regard to green, safe and efficient transport systems. To achieve this, we build on a wide range of disciplines and a close connection between research and higher education as well as on intense cooperation with industry and societal actors. 6

Bilen ska helt autonomt, kunna följa sin fil på en bana och hantera korsningar på ett säkert sätt, den ska parkera sig själv Christian Berger, universitetslektor, Software Engineering Miniatyrfordonen bygger på teknik som tagits fram inom projektet Gulliver.
