The university research projects systematically deal with traffic safety, especially passive safety. Several experiments were carried out with the purpose to increase the knowledge in the automotive safety field, to obtain in-deep information from non-standard processes and data for validation of mathematical simulations and to extend the results and knowledge databases.

Keywords: Passive safety of vehicles, crash test, deformation, injury, experiment.
