The focus will be given to the analysis of factors affecting senior drivers' tendency for accidents, the influence of age on driving, cognitive issues related to driving a motor vehicle with respect to age, the influence of age on decision making, possibilities of compensation, using HMI (Human-Machine Interface), problematic drivers in this age group and the influence of these factors on the accident rate and the assessment of the causes of their occurrence.

The focus will be given to the analysis of factors affecting young drivers' tendency for accidents, the influence of age on driving, cognitive issues related to driving a motor vehicle with respect to age, the influence of age on decision making, possibilities of compensation, using HMI (Human-Machine Interface), problematic drivers in this age group and the influence of these factors on the accident rate and the assessment of the causes of their occurrence.
When dealing with a collision between two vehicles riding in a curve, it is necessary to also deal with an analysis of the common trajectory of the vehicle in realtion to the conditions in the place of the collision and to the common riding technique of the drivers. The thesis will deal with an analysis of the factors affecting the riding tactics and subsequently the trajectory of the vehicle when riding in a curve under various conditions so that it is possible to deduce common behaviour of the driver depending on the important factors influencing the ride trajectory (radius of the curve, view of the curve, speed of the ride, adhesion conditions and others) for different riding situations.

The aim is to evaluate the possibilities of observing the elements in road surroundings when riding a motorcycle and to analyse the influence of the number of elements in road surroundings (road signs, billboards, light advertisements etc.) and the influence of the rider's physical and mental condition (tiredness, state of health, comfort etc.) on controlling the motorcycle. Measurements will be performed and the data obtained will be evaluated in order to discover the influence of the surroundings on the safety of the ride and on the risk of a collision. The results will be evaluated in such a way that they can be used in forensic engineering practice.

One of the significant causes of road accidents is the driver not coping with extreme weather conditions. Although more frequent and more detailed information on the weather affecting the road conditions is available, not all drivers respect it. However, it must also be noted that attention is not paid to the negative impact of the weather on the road condition, for example, when defining a portion of the road affected, for example, by ice (such as bridges, valleys etc.), fogs and others. The aim will be a statistical evaluation of road accidents influenced by the weather conditions and an analysis of the weather development before and during the accident. These weather conditions will be generalized and a possible legal modification or a sign in the terrain will be proposed for each condition, for example ice, fog, fast wind.

The aim is to make a detailed analysis of the results of road accident research in order to obtain new findings useful for the analysis of road accidents in such a way that the results can be used in dealing with manipulated accidents in forensic engineering practice.
Even when the analysis of the real course of a road accident is made correctly, the accident participants' responsibility may not be evaluated objectively if the casual links related to their behaviour are not clarified sufficiently. The aim is to deal with technical analysis of road accidents which happen at an intersection or when the vehicle is turning away from the road and which are related to not giving way and where more participants may be considered responsible. Another aim is to analyse the relations between a technical analysis of the course of a negative phenomenon, a technical interpretation of its cause and the legal assessment related to its cause. This analysis will provide factors essential for legal assessment and they will be used in a proposal for improving the quality of methods focused on clarifying the participants' possibilities of preventing an accident.

The aim is to analyse in detail and afterwards to interpret the influence of roads and their surroundings on traffic safety in such a way that the analysis results can be used in forensic engineering practice. To obtain a comprehensive evaluation, special measuring devices (e.g. floating car, Eyetracking) will be used as well as analytical methods to evaluate the mutual relations between the road intermediate parameters and traffic safety. One of the aims of the thesis is to deal with propositions concerning the way of analysing safety of roads and their surroundings when carrying out assessments in technical ASN (Road Accident Investigation) and how to notify the appropriate authorities of these dangerous elements.
