On September 25, 2015 the Department of Traffic Accident Expertise organised a crash test at the Bronogaj University Campus in cooperation with EVU Croatia. The test involved a collision between a personal vehicle and traffic signals and equipment. The test was just a part of the seminar during which the participants learned about the possibilities of using a quadcopter in traffic accident expertise, participated in Audatex software workshops and were presented research data collected by the department.
The PC Crash workshop is held yearly with the aim of educating and informing traffic accident experts on the latest developments in the field.
