![]() ![]() Frontal crashes were subcategorized into small overlap impact (SOI) and large overlap impact (LOI) using crash and crush characteristics from the datasets. Research Catalyst – CIREN researchers are also frontline caregivers and crash lab experts who can generate research endeavors that are directly related to the current medical, socio-economic and technical issues being experienced in the field.ĪBSTRACT – Because small overlap impacts have recently emerged as a crash mode posing great injury risk to occupants, a detailed analysis of US crash data was conducted using the NASS/CDS and CIREN databases.Expert Review – Each CIREN case is reviewed together by both medical and engineering professionals, along with the crash investigator, to determine injury causation and data accuracy.Data Collection – Routine collection of over 1,000 data points on every crash investigated detailed data on occupant injury, vehicle damage and restraint technology and crash environment.Sentinel - Initial detection of environmental, technical or human factors that are related to injury causation in motor vehicle crashes.CIREN teams act in four capacities throughout the course of the program – This multidisciplinary approach is the keystone of the CIREN program. ![]() Among the recommendations detailed in this book was the request to have injury studied in cooperation by a multidisciplinary group consisting of experts from engineering, medicine and other appropriate professions. The CIREN Program has its origin based on a recommendation from the National Academy of Sciences in their 1985 publication “Injury in America”. ![]()
