After successfully completing the module, students know the basic concepts and knowledge in vehicle safety and crash mechanics. The program is structured to cover the important topics related to the vehicle safety: Crash modelling for frontal and lateral collisions and rollovers, finite element analysis, occupant protection strategies, Passive vehicle safety systems (airbag control unit, conventional crash sensors, algorithms, safety actuators) and biomechanics. At the completion of this course, students should be able to understand crash processes, to construct and simulate simple crash models, understand human anatomy and its mechanics during vehicle crash.
