Описание: In this webinar, David Harkey provided an overview of the vehicle research and evaluation work being done by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Highway Loss Data Institute (IIHS-HLDI) in the areas of crashworthiness/occupant protection, collision avoidance/driver assistance, and the role of technology in a safe system. Specifically, Harkey traced the evolution of improved vehicle crashworthiness from the mid-1990s to present day and shared IIHS plans for improvements in occupant protection.

The presentation also highlighted ongoing evaluations of advanced driving-assistance systems (such as front and rear crash prevention and lane keeping) for passenger vehicles and commercial trucks and shared the latest results on the effectiveness of Level 2 automation. Finally, Harkey addressed the role of technology in a safe systems approach to save lives and prevent harm on our roadways.
