CR 102: Willingness to pay for vehicle safety measures—Phase 1 Report. Methodology and survey techniques (1992)

The focus of this project is to determine the amount which Australian car buyers are willing to pay for vehicle safety features that protect occupants in the event of a crash. In the phase 1 report methodologies and survey instruments are examined and evaluated with regard to appropriateness.

CR 108: Strategies to combat fatigue in long distance road transport industry: Stage 1—The Industry Perspective (1992)

This report investigates strategies that would be effective and practicable in reducing driver fatigue long distance road transport industry.

MR 09: The feasibility of conducting an 'alternative transport' day in Brisbane

The project investigated the feasibility of an event which promotes the use of transport modes other than the private car. A participative event was considered necessary to draw attention to the promotion.

CR 114: Trends in Road Crash Fatality Rates: International Comparisons with Australia 1970–1990 (1992)

Australia has seen a substantial and sustained reduction in road crash fatality rates between 1970 and 1990. This report compares this reduction with that seen in other countries.

CR 105: Fatal Crash Types—Analysis of 1988 Fatality File (1992)

Australian data from 1988 in the FORS Fatality File.

CR 107: The Child in the Centre Seat (1992)

Lap belts, fitted to centre seats of Australian cars for the past fifteen years, have come under criticism as being injurious to children. The weight of evidence is that they provide substantial protection, though less than three point belts.

CR 117: Motorcycle Safety Literature Review (1992)

This report presents the findings and recommendations of a worldwide review of the literature on motorcycle safety research, covering the period 1987 to 1991.

CR 104: Fatal Crash Types—Summary Report—Analysis of 1988 Fatality File (1992)

This report summarises different types of fatal road crashes based on Australian data from 1988 in the FORS Fatality File.

Visual Function as an Objective Measure of Alcohol Intoxicaction

The aim in this project was to investigate the viability of using changes in visual system function as a measure of alcohol intoxication. The best candidate measures of changes in visual function as a result of consuming alcohol were identified from the literature.

CR 100: Feasibility of occupant protection countermeasures (1992)

Benefit cost analysis is often used in setting road safety priorities. The concept of Harm was developed for assessing injury mitigation benefits from vehicle safety improvements. This study builds upon previous work in the area.
