• Abstract:
  On October 1, 1992, the Federal Highway Administration/National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (FHWA/NHTSA) National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) was established through a three-way contract between the Federal Highway Administration's Office of Safety and Traffic Operations R&D, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Crashworthiness Research, and the School of Engineering and Applied Science at George Washington University (GW). The center was established with two main goals: first, to conduct research for assisting government researchers and managers in resolving transportation safety issues; and second, to combine the FHWA and NHTSA crash test films and documentation collected over the past two decades into a single national library. The center also provides an environment for visiting scholars to interact with the NCAC research team and to conduct research using the data and facilities available there.
