The Automotive Safety 2026 proceedings presents a collection of peer-reviewed papers from the 15th International Conference Automotive Safety, held in Tatranská Lomnica, Slovakia, on May 5–8, 2026. The conference brings together academics, researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to discuss advances in vehicle safety, intelligent transport systems, biomechanics of road accidents, and transport infrastructure. Contributions cover a wide range of safety-related topics, including accident reconstruction, driver behaviour, automated driving, cyber security in vehicles, micromobility, and pedestrian protection. The proceedings serve as an important scientific record, highlighting the latest international developments in transport safety research and fostering further scholarly collaborations.
