CR 149: Workshop Report on Side Impact Regulations for Australia (1994)

In consideration of future requirements for improved occupant protection for those involved in side impact crashes, a one day workshop was held in Munich in conjunction with the Enhanced Safety Vehicles (ESV) conference during May 1994.

CR 134: Passenger Cars and Occupant Injury: Side Impact Crashes (1994)

This project set out to assess the extent of protection for passenger car occupants involved in side impact collisions in this country and to make recommendations of ways in which this protection could be improved.

CR 135: Community Attitudes to Road Safety: Community Attitudes Survey—Wave 7 (1994)

In August 1993, the seventh in a series of national surveys on community attitudes to road safety was conducted. A number of methodological and content changes were made in this survey. This report contains results from Wave 7 and, where possible, comparative results with earlier surveys.

CR 128: Young Driver Research Program: Literature Review on Young Drivers' Performance (1994)

A theoretical model of the determinants of young driver crash risk is outlined and some methodological issues concerning types of available data, measures of crash risk and measures of exposure to risk are discussed.

CR 129: Young Driver Research Program: Literature Review on Crash Characteristics (1994)

This report reviews literature on young drivers' behavioural and personal characteristics in relation to their crash risk.

CR 125: A comparison of accident and emergency with police road injury data (1994)

This report examines the consistency of police and hospital reporting of outcomes of road traffic crashes using a database linking police accident reports and hospital accident and emergency (A & E) department data.

The Bayesian Analysis of Truncated Regression Models

The analysis of truncated data when an unobserved latent structure is assumed is considered. A Bayesian analysis of truncated data in the presence of covariates is presented. A method is derived for the analysis of truncated data when the response for the unobserved members is known.

Adaptive Speed Limit Signs for Road Safety

A state-of-the-art report was prepared on adaptive speed limit signs; that is, intelligent signs displaying variable speed limits based on weather or traffic conditions.

CR 123: Analysis of Medical Data From Fatal Road Crashes (1994)
