Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 60 hours (equivalent to 2 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 37.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will have an overview of the scope of duties of a technical expert in the context of accident analysis. They will be familiar with the basic procedure for recording and reconstructing traffic accidents. In addition, students will also be familiar with special topics such as:  traffic monitoring, consequences of injuries, plausibility of vehicle damage, perceptibility of minor collisions.
