NHTSA's National Accident Sampling System (NASS)/ Crashworthiness Data System (CDS) collects detailed information on towed passenger vehicle crashes, employing trained, professional accident investigation teams. The in-depth data collection, scientific protocols, and professionalism of those involved make the NASS/CDS database a valuable resource to many in the professionalism of those involved make the NASS/CDS database a valuable resource to many in the traffic safety community. NASS data are used government, industry, and the private sector to conduct research, identify injury patterns and mechanisms, provide a basis for regulatory decisionmaking, and provide a means of evaluating the association between occupant injury and various crash-related characteristics.
