Team/division description

The Safety Research Technical Affairs Planning team (TAP) is part of the Research and Development group at Toyota Motor Europe Technical Center in Zaventem, Belgium. Our team consists of seven engineers, dealing with future safety requirements, mainly related to Euro NCAP assessment on Passive, Active safety and Automated Driving.

The goal of our group is to feed information to the development divisions and product planners who can then ensure that future requirements can be implemented.

Your project

One of our main goals is to identify where are road traffic safety problems, for which our team analyses road traffic crashes from different datasets. Due to the increased demand from development divisions, we want to improve the way we analyse data, in a smarter, more flexible and automatised way. The tasks will be as follows:

• Familiarise with the road crash database structure (e.g. GIDAS)
• Build on existing Python scripts to further improve / integrate data extraction and analysis workflows
• Develop robust Python scripts to address different research questions, including statistical methods, and enable data exploration across multiple data levels (via UI/ dashboard)
• Support the future expansion of the tool through the integration of additional datasets

Starting date

•  1st of September 2026

Duration
