Welcome to the CCIS website

CCIS is one of the world's largest studies of car occupant injury causation. Each year the project investigates more than twelve hundred crashes involving cars or car derived vans.

Its aims are to:

• Provide an in-depth understanding of injury causation to car occupants;
• Provide information on the crashworthiness of vehicles;
• Provide information on the performance and effectiveness of occupant protection systems (airbags, seatbelts);
• Provide a mechanism to identify and prioritise the need for improvements in vehicle safety;
• Provide the ability to monitor and analyse the effectiveness of vehicle based safety systems, diagnostics and countermeasures;
• Provide biomechanical information to assist in the development of crash test tools and determination of human injury performance and tolerance criteria; and
• Provide evidence to support the need for development of policy and standards that lead to improvements in car occupant protections.
