Abstract:

ATVs and SxSs are designed for off-road use only. Vehicle design, lack of operator training, and other factors, like roadway speeds, all contribute to the risk of a crash. In fact, more than half of all ATV and SxS fatalities occur on public roads. ATV crashes on the road also result in more serious injuries than those off the road. Knowledge about the risks involved is limited among riders and the general public. SAFER-SIM funding was used to build upon our educational and public awareness programs that include a focus on reducing crashes of off-road vehicles on roadways. Our activities include a school based safety program, professional conferences, community outreach events, and creation of resources for preventing ATV and SxS related deaths and injuries. Engineering and technology, including simulation, for injury prevention and roadway safety are an important part of our program.
