Scope
This Committee fosters collection and innovative use of diverse safety data, and the development of new theories and analytical methods to advance the science of safety to meet the needs of future technologies and road users.
This Committee further promotes the application of these methods and supporting tools, and the institutionalization of science-based methods. In doing so, this Committee supports informed transportation decision-making and improves safety performance on the Nations’ roadway infrastructure system, notably by reducing fatalities and injured persons caused by crashes.
