Impact Research

Impact Research specializes in the analysis of crash data from public and private crash data sources to study motor vehicle safety in the real world. We routinely analyze US Department of Transportation Crash Data including the NASS and FARS files, state crash records, driver licensing files, US census data and vehicle registration data. We routinely perform probabilistic linkage of disparate data sources and information to improve the generalizability of results and to draw conclusions based on representative samples. Research has included effectiveness evaluations for safety technologies in the field, evaluation of regulations and policy changes, and development of data collection and monitoring technologies to support the needs of our clients.
