Innovative approach to traffic safety education: TRAFSAF project

Abstract

The problems of traffic safety and the profession of traffic safety are universal problems that require constant strengthening of the system of education and innovation both in syllabuses and in technologies and techniques applied in the field of traffic safety. The purpose of the innovative approach to the education program is to educate undergraduate and graduate students in the field of traffic safety, in accordance with the needs of society, which should provide an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to safety of all road users, technical solutions and social response to traffic accidents. Traffic safety problems are complex problems, which is why the competencies and skills acquired by engineers should provide knowledge and a deeper understanding of risk while strengthening the applied and practical skills. Innovative study programs must have a common basis for all directions, with a deep knowledge of mathematics, physics and mechanics with an emphasis on a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to the use of engineering in improving traffic safety.
