The Transportation Research Center (TRC) has been conducting highway traffic safety research under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of
Transportation since 1970. The TRC is one of many different organizations involved in the ongoing collection and dissemination of highway traffic accident data from real world crashes. This information is used by the general public, highway safety community, universities, vehicle manufacturers and the Federal Government to identify traffic crash trends, highlight new highway safety issues, improve the crashworthiness of vehicles sold in the United States and continually develop and refine Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. TRC's role within this overall mission is to research and publish information from special crash investigations and to review the quality and accuracy of information collected under the following data collection systems managed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS), General Estimates System (GES), Crashworthiness Data System (CDS), Special Crash Investigations (SCI) and Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN).
