Around 1 in every 3 vehicle occupants die in a crash where the vehicle rolls over. This crash mode also accounts for around 25% of spinal injuries and cost the community around $2.5 billion annually. There are no rollover crash standards or consumer crash tests. The equipment purchased will be used to develop a rollover crashworthiness test protocol that can be adopted by consumer testing groups, to understand the role of fatigue in precipitating rollover crashes, and to develop a driver fatigue metric. It is estimated this research will result in saving around 150 lives, reducing serious spinal and head injuries and save the Australian community around $800 million per annum.

大约每3名车辆乘员中就有1人死于车辆侧翻的撞车事故。这种碰撞模式也占脊髓损伤的25%左右，每年给社区造成约25亿美元的损失。没有翻车碰撞标准或消费者碰撞测试。购买的设备将用于开发可供消费者测试团体采用的侧翻耐撞性测试协议，以了解疲劳在促成侧翻碰撞中的作用，并开发驾驶员疲劳度量。据估计，这项研究将挽救约150人的生命，减少严重的脊柱和头部损伤，每年为澳大利亚社区节省约8亿澳元。
