Rollover Crash Research Infrastructure Capacity Building

大约每3名乘车人中就有1人死于翻车撞车事故。这种撞车模式也占脊柱损伤的25%左右，每年给社区造成约25亿美元的损失。没有翻转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小组采用的翻车耐撞性测试方案，以了解疲劳在引发翻车事故中的作用，并制定驾驶员疲劳指标。据估计，这项研究将挽救约150人的生命，减少严重的脊椎和头部损伤，并每年为澳大利亚社区节省约8亿美元。

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.
