Offer Description

At the Institute of Highway Engineering, RWTH Aachen, we are seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team focusing on the design of roads for traffic safety and the protection of vulnerable users. Our research group analyses traffic safety by examining conflicts between vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. We design advanced road safety infrastructure, including novel road signs, and employ surrogate measures to identify conflict areas, machine vision for accurate traffic conflict measurement, and driving simulators and virtual reality to safely reproduce conflicts and understand the influence of various driver conditions on traffic safety.
