IRCOBI 2010- ESC
A comparative study of vehicles with and without Electronic Stability Control (ESC) was performed to characterize differences in types of critical events leading to single-vehicle rollovers.
IRCOBI 2009-Motorcycles
For this study, Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data was examined to identify characteristics of motorcycle crashes resulting in fatality. In addition, a review was made of the consumer complaint database maintained by the Office of Defects Investigation to identify the complaints related to motorcycles.
Magazine Article- Car Safety Features
JPR India was featured in “Top 10 must-have car safety features” for an Indian magazine, Mother and Baby.
IRCOBI 2009- Airbags
This study evaluated the effectiveness of second generation (depowered) airbags in reducing driver fatalities in severe frontal crashes.
SAE 2009- Seatback
The relationship between seatback stiffness or strength and the likelihood of serious/fatal injury for drivers and rear seat occupants in rear-impact crashes was investigated.
SAE 2009- Vehicle Compatibility
This study examined the relative importance of vehicular, driver, and environmental factors in influencing odds of driver fatality in two-vehicle (car-to-car, light truck-to-car, and light truck-to-light truck) frontal crashes for 1981-2003 model year vehicles.
SAE 2008- Heavy Truck Underride
The number of light vehicle occupants injured or killed in side underride crashes with combination trucks was determined and the crashes evaluated.
SAE 2008- Narrow Object Frontal Crashes
This study examined the frequency and severity of frontal crashes with narrow objects for light vehicles, including the distribution of injuries by body region, crash severity, and single- versus multiple-vehicle crashes for narrow object and all other crashes.
AAAM 2008-Seat Integrated Restraint Systems
Ejection, fatality, and fatal/serious injury risks were compared for belted drivers in vehicles with conventional seatbelts and belted drivers in vehicles with seat integrated restraint systems (SIRS).
AAAM 2008- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
This study examined police accident reports from 9 states to characterize rollover crashes involving ESC-equipped vehicles, identifying critical events leading to loss of control and rollover, and the interactions between the accident, driver, and environment.
IRCOBI 2008- Review of IIHS Roof Strength Findings
This study evaluated: “Roof Strength and Injury Risk in Rollover Crashes,” a paper published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The study corrects for factors, and shows that that there is no relationship between roof strength-to-weight ratio (SWR) and serious injury/fatality likelihood for vehicles that comply with FMVSS 216.
IRCOBI 2007- ESC Field Performance
For this study, US field data was used to evaluate the effectiveness of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems in reducing fatal crashes.
SAE 2007- NHTSA’s Proposed FMVSS 216 Upgrade
Detailed discussion is presented of the statistical and engineering approaches used to derive benefit estimates based on fatalities calculated by NHTSA for their proposed FMVSS 216 upgrade.
AAAM 2006- Center Rear-Seat Restraint Systems
The “Kid in the Middle” study examined the effectiveness of rear seat restraint systems in reducing injury in frontal and side impacts.
