Kratek CV in povzetek predavanja:
Prof. Dr. Dipl.-Ing. Michael Weyde initially studied general mechanical engineering and
successfully completed his diploma. From 1994, he worked as a research assistant for Prof. Dr.
Rau (TU Berlin), where he was responsible for equipping the Berlin police vehicle fleet with
accident data recorders. From 2004 to 2009, Michael Weyde pursued his doctorate at the
University of Žilina, focusing on key factors for the reconstruction of motorcycle accidents.
Michael Weyde is a publicly appointed and sworn expert for accident reconstruction, vehicle
damage, and valuation by the Berlin Chamber of Industry and Commerce. He is also a publicly
appointed and sworn expert for the evaluation of accident data recorders. In addition to his
work as a forensic expert, Dr. Weyde has been a lecturer at TU Graz and HTW Dresden since
2010, where he has held an honorary professorship for accident reconstruction since 2025.
Since 2022, Michael Weyde has been the Chairman of the Board of EVU (European Association
for Accident Research and Analysis).
The author is not only a forensic expert but has also been a member of the UN-ECE working
group on Event Data Storage (EDR & DSSAD) since 2019. Using practical examples of real world
accidents, the possibilities that arise when vehicle data is available are demonstrated. Without
vehicle data, the missing information is replaced by the expert’s assumptions, which can be
extremely inaccurate. Only with digital data is it possible to accurately clarify the sequence of
events in an accident and identify its causes. However, the digital data must also correspond to
the physical evidence. The presentation will highlight both the possibilities and limitations of
the use of digital driving data for accident reconstruction. Crash tests will be used to illustrate
the necessary tolerances and potential improvements for the future.
