Kaiserslautern. From Movement to Crash – How Mathematical Models Enable More Realistic Accident Simulations
In a traffic accident, it is not only the impact itself that determines possible injuries. The crash is often preceded by a highly dynamic situation: the vehicle brakes abruptly, occupants try to brace themselves or react reflexively to the acceleration. These movements change the posture and speed of the limbs and thus significantly influence the risk of injury at the moment of impact. This raises a key question for accident research: How can these movements be simulated realistically?

Kaiserslautern. Detecting Rare Diseases Faster Thanks to Mathematical Models
Rare diseases affect more people than one might think, but they are often difficult to diagnose. On average, it takes years for patients to receive a diagnosis. In this project, our researchers are working with the pharmaceutical company Chiesi to develop a mathematical support tool that will help doctors identify rare diseases more quickly and test for them in a targeted manner.
