WELCOME TO SAFER VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC SAFETY CENTRE AT CHALMERS
We research to save lives, prevent injuries and enable safe mobility. Together.
SAFER Vehicle and Traffic Safety Centre at Chalmers is a collaborative platform for research and knowledge exchange where partners from society, academia and industry acquire and share knowledge to make a significant contribution to a safer road transport environment for all.
The knowledge generation platform is being realised through collaboration between universities, research institutes, industries, government authorities and other relevant actors. SAFER aims to contribute to the elimination of fatalities and serious injuries in the mobility system through multidisciplinary research, collaboration activities and knowledge exchange, and to make Swedish society, the academia and the industry into world leaders in safe transport. Chalmers University of Technology is our host and about 50 partners are participating in the collaboration.

THE SAFER RESEARCH AREAS
Collaborative traffic safety research for zero fatalities
Our five research areas represent world-class, multi-disciplinary research – all with the single-minded vision to save lives, prevent injuries and enable safe mobility. They are also the open research arena where our partners meet and identify key issues to initiate new research based on real-world needs.

Post-crash
What actions after a traffic accident are the most efficient in reducing mortality and injury severity? This research area addresses challenges for all road users related to what happens after a traffic accident is a fact. Covering a cross-disciplinary research approach, Care & Rescue focuses on improved incident detection and assessment, improved on-scene care and rescue and reducing secondary long-term effects of traffic accidents.
