The Human Injury Research and Applied Biomechanics Divisions of the Office of Vehicle Safety Research conduct research to advance the scientific knowledge in biomechanics to enhance motor vehicle occupant safety through regulatory and non-regulatory efforts, and support NHTSA's mission to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce economic costs due to road traffic crashes. These divisions disseminate scientific information and conduct cooperative and collaborative research with other organizations around the world to develop tools that will help mitigate injury and death in motor vehicle crashes. This document describes a multi-year research plan that includes rationale, projects descriptions, deliverables, and schedule.
