Your project:
PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF SPECIFIC SAFETY MEASURES
In 2018, road traffic annual deaths reached 1.35 million worldwide. In order to define priorities on next generation ADAS systems we need to understand accident causation and main contributing factors of most common accidents. TAP is performing research activities in collaboration with a prestigious Fraunhofer IVI Institute in Dresden and has access to GIDAS (German In-Depth Accident Database) which contains detailed descriptions at accident level, participant level and person level.
Purpose of the study:
- Define several active and passive safety measures
- Estimate their effectiveness and penetration rate
- Predict their impact on accidents rate
- Develop a methodology to perform exploratory analysis of accident data
This will generate different types of activities:
• Data analysis, management and predictive analysis
• Exploratory analysis of accident data:
• to a lesser extent : documentation
Your profile:
Final year Master degree of engineering (Mechanical, Industrial, Electronics, Automotive, Traffic, mechatronics)
Good knowledge in Statistics, Matlab, and ideally Access Database and Python.
Flexible team player, open-minded, good communication skills and fluent in English.
