Astrid Linder

Adjunct Professor at Vehicle Safety

Astrid Linder is Professor of Traffic Safety at Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, VTI, and an Adjunct Professor (Research) at Monash University, Australia. She received her PhD in traffic safety from Chalmers from where she also has a MSc in Engineering Physics. Traffic safety, models of the human in crash testing, injury prevention and crash related countermeasures are main fields of her research. Prof Linder initiated and led the research resulting in the world’s first physical dummy model based on the average female, the Seat Evaluation Tool (SET 50F) for assessment of the vehicle occupant safety and was listed as one of 100 most inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2023 by BBC.
