Coming Events

Research Tuesdays: sharing great research with the community

The wrecks are talking: Why road crashes happen and what can be done about it

There are many different factors that contribute to a vehicle accident and its impact on victims. What are those factors, and how can we learn from them?

For more than 30 years, the University of Adelaide's Centre for Automotive Safety Research (CASR) has conducted extensive investigations into crashes on South Australian roads.

Through expert analysis of human factors, conditions, vehicles involved, forensics and medical data, consistent causes are emerging and preventative measures are being identified.

CASR Director Professor Mary Lydon will reveal exactly what is being done to improve road safety.

When: 5.30-6.30pm Tuesday 10 March
Where: Room G04, Napier Building, North Terrace Campus

Admission free, RSVP essential
