Vehicle Safety Test, Evaluation and Crash Research
The core activity of the VSTECR team at MUARC is the real-world crash investigation program, collecting more than 100 crashes each year across Australia for three separate studies. The resulting case databases are utilised for a wide range of research into vehicle crashworthiness, occupant injury outcomes and human factors and behavioural issues. The team also specialises in pre-crash vehicle safety aspects, helping to design and commission advanced instrumented test vehicles and developing the research tools necessary to make use of them. An ongoing relationship with the Metropolitan Ambulance Service and Rural Ambulance Victoria to provide vehicle safety advisory services involves performance and safety testing of emergency vehicles and the provision of safety-related advice. The VSTECR team has a strong practical focus and is able to provide mechanical and electrical design and fabrication services as well as ethical and patient recruitment advice.
