Om mig

Traffic Researcher at Folksam Insurance Group Stockholm, Sweden

Forskningsbeskrivning

As a researcher I am mainly working with collection of in-depth crash injury data and doing analysis of different data sets of real-life crashes as well as crash tests. I have been responsible for several research projects in many different fields such as vulnerable road users, child safety in cars, injury risk for car occupant, sport injuries, helmet testing and real-time driving data. The overall objective of my research during the years has been to study road crashes using a system approach to identify system weaknesses as well as important factors that need to be addressed to further develop a safe road transport system in line with Vision Zero.
