The purposes of the research were to provide sound a basis for evaluating the benefits of alternative approaches for reducing casualties in rollover crashes. The approach applied national data systems which contain data on rollover crashes and resulting injuries to assess casualty causation factors. The National Accident Sampling System, specifically the Crashworthiness Data System (NASS/CDS 1988-91) was the primary source of data. The data system is a nationally representative sample of Police reported towaway crashes. NASS was supplemented by the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS 1988-1991) which is a census of all fatal crashes on U.S. roads. The General Estimates System of NASS (NASS/GES 1988-90) covering Police reported accidents, irrespective of severity, was the basis for nationally representative estimates.
