Biography

Jonas Bärgman is a Professor in Vehicle Safety within the Mechanics Maritime Sciences Department at Chalmers University. He leads a research group in the Safety Evaluation Division, focusing on understanding traffic safety as it pertains to driver behavior, vehicles, and the surrounding environment. His research encompasses a range of areas including quantifying driver comfort zone boundaries during everyday driving and investigating the mechanisms of crash causation. Bärgman's work also involves developing quantitative models that analyze driver behavior in critical situations and the safety impacts of automated driving systems. In addition to naturalistic driving data, he employs various research tools such as test tracks and on-road simulator experiments. He is also involved in academia as an examiner for the Vehicle Traffic Safety course in the masters program in automotive engineering at Chalmers and lectures on the Active Safety course in the program.
