• Abstract:
  When safety experts worldwide need to review crash data, look at computer models of vehicles, or analyze roadside hardware designs, they rely on the researchers and the resources available at the National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC). As a unique storehouse of safety information and safety expertise throughout the world, NCAC supports the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) strategic objective to reduce fatalities and injuries by 20 percent in 10 years. NCAC's research goal is to curtail the safety problems of occupants in crashes. NCAC's resources help researchers understand and quantify a vehicle's performance and its components, occupants, and roadside hardware in crashes, and provide optimum design solutions to minimize crash impact severity.
