Learning outcomes of the course unit
They can practically use and apply relevant documents for technical analysis - the shape of the accident site, vehicle characteristics, driver characteristics, respectively. Pedestrians - they will be able to choose a suitable method of their securing, plan and perform their own measurements and process the acquired data, analyze them and then apply them when analyzing their own accident situation.
They will also interpret basic relationships, motion laws, essential human parameters and their role in traffic accidents, vehicle parameters, forces, tires and their models, environmental parameters, vehicle dynamic parameters, damage analysis and damage correspondence and will be able to apply this knowledge to motion calculation vehicle, its interpretation in the form of track - time, track - speed, interval diagram, etc.
They will be able to apply the acquired competences to the solution of real accidents with pedestrians and cyclists and consequently solve the possibilities of averting a collision with regard to the psychological and physiological possibilities of the participants.
