Research topics

Umrestte is a joint research laboratory of Ifsttar and University Lyon 1-Claude Bernard UCBL (UMR T 9405). It was created in July 1999, is now part of the Research Department "Transport, Health and Safety", and is associated to the French Institute for Public Health Surveillance (InVS). Umrestte plays a leading role in road safety epidemiological research in France.

Umrestte performs epidemiological and evaluation research to generate knowledge, particularly in the transport field, of:
  • crash trauma characteristics, consequences and prevention (primary, secondary and tertiary safety),
  • the effects of environmental nuisances on health (from discomfort to mortality),
  • the effects of work conditions on health.
