Abstract:This research study was conducted to determine if the latest generation of passenger vehicles offer better safety to pedestrians than previous generations. Using the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s State Data System data sets for selected States, we compared the proportion of pedestrians who were injured after being struck by later-model-year vehicles (MY2011–MY2016) with the proportion struck by earlier-model-year vehicles (MY2001–MY2005) using three injury categories and three vehicle categories. Analyses showed that differences, though sometimes significant, were small and were inconsistent in which model year group was associated with fewer injuries.
