Update on Vehicle Safety Testing Plans at IIHS, Adrian Lund, President IIHS &...Global NCAP
Front crash prevention tests award points based on a vehicle's speed reduction in target tests. In a 20 km/h test, vehicles receive points for reducing speed by 8-15 km/h (1 point) or 16+ km/h (2 points). In a 40 km/h test, vehicles receive points for reducing speed by 8-15 km/h (1 point), 16-35 km/h (2 points), or 36+ km/h (3 points). 1 additional point is given for vehicles meeting the NHTSA forward collision warning requirement. The IIHS plans to continue evaluating more vehicles for front crash prevention ratings and increasing the standards over time to encourage improved safety.
Front Crash Prevention and AEB - Addendum, Adrian Lund, President IIHS & HLDIGlobal NCAP
This document summarizes automatic emergency braking (AEB) test protocols used by Euro NCAP, IIHS, and NHTSA. It provides details on test parameters such as vehicle speeds, targets, and scoring methods. The protocols vary in test speeds, targets (stopped vehicles vs slower/decelerating vehicles), and scoring (points awarded vs percentage of speed reduction). There is an effort to harmonize protocols by standardizing a 3D car target and pedestrian targets. Most automakers have committed to making AEB standard, and there is a working group to define parameters for standardization across vehicles.

A Brief History of the IIHS Small Overlap Crash Test, Adrian Lund, President ...Global NCAP
The document summarizes the history and development of the small overlap front crash test conducted by the IIHS. It describes how small overlap crashes account for a significant portion of real-world frontal crashes but vehicles were not adequately tested for this type of impact. The IIHS developed a new small overlap test in 2012 and found most vehicles performed poorly. However, automakers have since redesigned vehicles, with over 70 models improving performance after design changes to better protect occupants in these types of crashes.
James Goodwin, CEO of ANCAP, provided an update on recent achievements and priorities. Key achievements included case studies on the Hyundai Tucson and Mercedes-Benz V-Class where ANCAP worked with manufacturers to improve safety ratings. ANCAP will increase its focus on audit testing vehicles to ensure ratings remain valid. Priorities for 2016-2018 include adopting a common test and assessment protocol with Euro NCAP in 2018, educating consumers and advocates, and maintaining strong international links to continue raising global safety standards.
Euro NCAP is a public-private partnership established in 1997 to provide car buyers with independent crash-safety information. It has helped improve safety standards by rating vehicles based on rigorous testing protocols. Over 20 years, Euro NCAP testing has evolved from addressing basic safety issues to now evaluating advanced driver assistance systems. It works closely with automakers through various working groups to develop new testing protocols and encourage safety innovations, while continuing to push for higher standards that better protect all road users.

Richard Cuerden, Chief Scientist and Research Director, Transport Research La...Global NCAP
This document summarizes a study conducted by TRL that assessed the potential for vehicle safety standards to prevent traffic deaths and injuries in Latin America. The study estimated that adopting minimum UN vehicle safety regulations could prevent between 14,000 and 40,000 car occupant fatalities in Latin America by 2030. It also concluded that the economic benefit of preventing these casualties could be up to $143 billion USD. The study recommends that Latin American countries urgently adopt and enforce UN regulations on occupant protection and electronic stability control to help reduce the number of preventable traffic deaths.
Latin NCAP has been rating vehicle safety in Latin America since 2009, starting with frontal crash tests. Over 70 vehicles have been rated. Tests now include side impact, whiplash protection, pedestrian safety, and electronic stability control. Latin NCAP uses the same injury criteria as UN regulations but tests at 64 km/h instead of the lower regulatory speed. This has revealed differences in vehicle structure and performance at higher speeds. Manufacturers have improved safety features in response. Latin NCAP recommends countries adopt UN regulations and develop local NCAP programs to test above minimum standards and inform consumers.
Zero Stars For All Cars In Latest Global NCAP Crash TestsGlobal NCAP
This document summarizes the results of crash tests on several popular Indian car models conducted by Global NCAP. The following key points are made:
1) All cars tested showed unstable body structures during crash tests, indicating that body shell integrity is critical for occupant protection even with airbags.
2) The Renault Kwid with a driver airbag still performed poorly, showing that airbags must be accompanied by meeting UN frontal crash standards.
3) Global NCAP recommends that the Indian government adopt UN's frontal crash regulation as mandatory and that car manufacturers design vehicles to meet these standards in all markets, not just where required by law.
The document discusses the importance of adopting a "Safe System" approach to road safety that focuses on safer infrastructure, vehicles, and road user behavior. It summarizes the following key points:
1) There is a global mandate to shift road safety efforts towards a Safe System approach that builds safer infrastructure and technology rather than relying primarily on enforcement measures.
2) Implementation of a Safe System approach requires rebalancing policy efforts across infrastructure improvements, vehicle safety standards, and road user behavior over time.
3) Universal adoption of minimum United Nations vehicle safety regulations worldwide, especially for crash avoidance technologies, is an urgent priority to improve global road safety.
Jessica Truong, Programmes Director & Asia Pacific Coordinator, Global NCAPGlobal NCAP
This document provides guidelines for fleet safety and safer car purchasing policies. It recommends that wherever possible, fleets should choose vehicles rated 5 stars by safety assessment programs, and never less than 4 stars, as higher ratings are associated with significantly lower risks of serious injury. It also lists mandatory safety requirements like electronic stability control and seat belts that any vehicle purchased should meet. Adopting such policies can help reduce the likelihood of crashes and injuries, fulfill corporate social responsibility and support global road safety goals. As fleet vehicles can remain in service for 20 years, only purchasing safe vehicles can make a big difference for road safety.
This document summarizes the key trends in vehicle safety standards and New Car Assessment Programs (NCAPs) worldwide. It discusses:
1) The origins of vehicle safety standards from the first international traffic convention in 1909 and how NCAPs now promote safer vehicles.
2) Global progress in vehicle safety but the need to extend minimum UN crash test standards to low and middle income countries where most road fatalities occur.
3) The role of NCAPs in creating demand for safer vehicles and encouraging manufacturers to exceed minimum safety standards.
4) Priority technologies like electronic stability control, autonomous emergency braking, and motorcycle ABS that can further reduce crashes when mandated or voluntarily adopted.

#SaferCarsForAfrica - David Ward, Global NCAPGlobal NCAP
Global NCAP aims to establish New Car Assessment Programs (NCAPs) worldwide to promote safer cars and reduce global road deaths. Over 3,500 people are killed in road crashes daily. The UN has adopted commitments like the Decade of Action 2011-2020 to halve road deaths by 2020. Global NCAP supports emerging NCAPs and provides technical assistance. Their goal is that by 2020, all new cars meet minimum UN safety standards with airbags and other safety features standard. Meeting these standards can cost less than $200 per vehicle.
Global NCAP works to promote safer vehicles and encourage car manufacturers to improve safety standards. It supports New Car Assessment Programs around the world and aims to harmonize global vehicle safety regulations. The UN has set a goal to reduce global road deaths by half by 2020 through improved policies and vehicle safety standards, including requiring electronic stability control on all new vehicles. Global NCAP is working with emerging NCAPs and a new "Stop the Crash" initiative to promote life-saving technologies and hold manufacturers accountable for unsafe vehicles.
India's opportunity in the UN Decade of Action Global NCAP
The document discusses India's opportunity to promote car safety standards during the UN's Decade of Action for Road Safety from 2011-2020. It recommends that India apply key UN vehicle safety regulations on frontal impact, side impact, seat belts, and electronic stability control to new car models by 2015-2018 and all cars produced by 2018-2020. This would help reduce the forecast road fatalities by 50% by 2020 as targeted by the UN Decade of Action.
David Ward, Secretary General, Global New Car Assessment Programme (Global NCAP)Global NCAP
Road safety is included in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, with a target to halve global road deaths and injuries by 2020. The Brasilia Declaration and UN General Assembly resolution recommend policies to implement UN vehicle safety regulations, including seat belts, air bags, and active safety systems as standard equipment. Global NCAP's 2020 Vision calls for all new cars sold globally to meet minimum UN crash test standards with air bags, ABS, and ESC by 2020 through increased government regulation and promotion of safer vehicles.
Global road traffic deaths are rising despite commitments to reduce them. Three key points are made:
1) Over 3,500 people are killed daily in road crashes, costing 3% of global GDP. Low and middle income countries see twice the fatality rates of wealthier nations.
2) The UN's decade of action and sustainable development goals aim to halve road deaths and injuries by 2020, but progress has stalled or reversed in many places like the EU and US.
3) A paradigm shift is needed towards a "safe systems" approach that recognizes human fallibility and shares responsibility across road and vehicle design. Proven technologies like electronic stability control must be accelerated to reverse rising fatality trends by 20
Over 3000 people are killed in road crashes every day, accounting for 3% of global GDP lost. Low and middle income countries see 90% of road deaths. The UN has set a goal to halve global road deaths by 2020 as part of new Sustainable Development Goals. This will require improved rates of safety over what was achieved in the previous UN Decade of Action for Road Safety. A Safe System approach which recognizes human error and shares responsibility among road and vehicle designers is endorsed to help achieve this goal through safer vehicles, roads, speeds and post-crash response. Minimum UN vehicle safety standards need to be applied globally to help reduce crashes and injuries.
Democratising Car Safety, Road Map for Safer Cars 2020Global NCAP
This document summarizes a presentation by David Ward, Secretary General of the Global New Car Assessment Programme (Global NCAP). It discusses Global NCAP's efforts to promote safer cars worldwide through New Car Assessment Programs (NCAPs) that rate vehicles based on crash tests. It outlines recent developments including partnerships and test results from various regions. Finally, it proposes a "Road Map for Safer Cars 2020" that calls on all UN member states to adopt minimum vehicle safety standards, including frontal impact, side impact, ESC and pedestrian protection tests, in a two stage plan to be fully implemented by 2020.
Global NCAP highlights pedestrian safety at the UNGlobal NCAP
1) Pedestrian fatalities account for 22% of all road deaths globally each year, with 270,000 pedestrians killed. While a major issue worldwide, pedestrian deaths are increasing in high-income countries.
2) Standards have been adopted to promote safer vehicle front-end designs that are softer and more forgiving to pedestrians. Euro NCAP ratings also encourage better pedestrian protection.
3) New technologies like autonomous emergency braking show promise in avoiding crashes and reducing collision speeds, which can help minimize pedestrian injuries when crashes do occur.
This document discusses the risks of hype around autonomous vehicles (AVs) undermining efforts to implement a "Safe Systems Approach" to road safety. It argues that AVs will have no impact on road injury prevention by 2030 due to major technological challenges. Near-term priority should be accelerating technologies already available like electronic stability control and autonomous emergency braking that can significantly reduce crashes and deaths according to studies. Waiting for perfect AVs is like hoping for a vaccine instead of using known prevention methods for an epidemic that can already be controlled.
Global NCAP World Congress Session 7, Michael PaineGlobal NCAP
This document discusses safely transporting children in older vehicles that lack modern safety systems. It recommends using a child seat with a built-in harness secured by both a seat belt and top tether anchorage. This configuration provides exceptional crash protection. For older vehicles without rear seat belts, it recommends retrofitting floor-mounted 2-point belts and top tether anchorages. The document also encourages retrofitting 3-point belts and publishes guidelines for doing so. Overall, it aims to improve child safety in older cars through appropriate child restraints and retrofitting vehicles with seat belts and anchorage points.
Global NCAP World Congress Session 7, Ronald VromanGlobal NCAP
This document discusses child safety in cars and child restraint systems (CRS). It covers the design and purpose of different types of CRS, legal requirements for CRS use, and the effectiveness of CRS according to various studies. It also outlines regulations for CRS, including UN Regulation 44 and the new Regulation 129. The document advocates for consumer information programs to raise awareness and create demand for safer cars and proper CRS use.
Global NCAP World Congress Session 6, Ravi BhatiaGlobal NCAP
This document discusses road safety and the automotive industry in India. It notes that India has high road accident, fatality, and injury rates, with most accidents being caused by driver fault. The top selling car brands in India are analyzed for their inclusion of key safety features like dual airbags, anti-lock braking system, electronic stability control, which most brands lack on many models. Monitoring and enforcement are needed to ensure safety systems are properly maintained and used. The automotive industry is an important part of India's economy but must improve safety standards to reduce social and economic costs of transportation.
Global NCAP World Congress Session 5, James GoodwinGlobal NCAP
This document discusses fleets and their role in improving vehicle safety. It notes that fleets purchase around half of all new vehicles sold and many fleet policies require a minimum 5-star safety rating. A survey found most fleets also require certain active safety features. The document recommends fleets choose vehicles no more than 3 years old to take advantage of improving safety standards and ensure currency. It notes that 70 models currently meet the 5-star requirement. Fleets are encouraged to retire safer, near-new vehicles back into the used market as a social responsibility.
Global NCAP World Congress Session 4, Anurag KulshresthaGlobal NCAP
This document discusses priorities for improving motorcycle safety in India. It outlines several goals and initiatives, including advocating for standardized helmets, improving two-wheeler and road design, and addressing the role of media and communicators. Projects mentioned include distributing free helmets, conducting safety workshops, and organizing advocacy events with stakeholders. The document also notes some impacts of these efforts, such as helmets being added to the mandatory BIS list and guidelines being issued for lighter, safer helmets.
Global NCAP World Congress Session 4, Michael WoodfordGlobal NCAP
This document discusses priorities for motorcycle safety. It summarizes the Safer Roads Foundation's work internationally to implement engineering measures and increase public awareness to improve road safety. This includes examples of the Foundation's work in Thailand installing automatic speed enforcement and roundabouts, and promoting the adoption of automatic headlights-on functions for motorcycles in countries around the world. The presentation argues that automatic headlights-on is a simple, cost-effective measure that could save thousands of lives annually by increasing motorcycle conspicuity.

#SaferCarsForAfrica - Saul Billingsley, FIA FoundationGlobal NCAP
The document discusses making roads in Africa safer for all users. It notes that road traffic injuries are a major public health issue in Africa according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. It advocates for investing in safer vehicles, roads, and road user behavior to create safer communities and uphold children's rights, quoting Zoleka Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu in support. The document promotes the idea that road safety is a shared responsibility.
#SaferCarsForAfrica - Alejandro Furas, Global NCAPGlobal NCAP
Global NCAP conducted crash tests on 5 popular car models in Africa representing 65% of annual sales. The tests assessed adult occupant protection and child occupant protection. Two models showed unstable bodyshell structures, increasing injury risk for passengers. All models showed low protection for legs. Only two models offered three-point belts and ISOFIX anchors in all seats. The tests highlighted the need for stronger vehicle standards and child restraint laws in Africa to improve road safety.
Stop the Crash Press Conference BangkokGlobal NCAP
The document announces a press conference called "Stop the Crash Bangkok" that will take place from May 12-13, 2017 to promote important crash avoidance systems like electronic stability control, autonomous emergency braking, and motorcycle anti-lock braking systems during UN Global Road Safety Week. The conference aims to encourage fleet managers and consumers in Thailand, which has a high rate of traffic fatalities especially among motorcyclists, to purchase vehicles equipped with these life-saving technologies.
The IIHS has introduced a new headlight rating program to evaluate headlights and improve safety. Their motivation is that over 16,000 crashes occur annually in dark conditions and better headlights could help reduce these. Their tests evaluate headlights on curves and straightaways to measure visibility and glare. In their first release rating 31 vehicles, they found most headlights performed poorly. Future plans include rating more vehicle types to help consumers identify vehicles with better headlights.
Mike Bertamini, Road Transportation Safety Lead Canada, Shell Canada Ltd.Global NCAP
Shell has a road safety strategy to become a world class leader in road safety by eliminating all road incidents involving its road transportation activities. The strategy focuses on improving driver behavior through training, monitoring vehicles, and ensuring minimum fleet safety requirements. It also involves working with internal and external stakeholders to meet this goal of zero incidents.

Road Map for Safer Cars 2020
1. Road Map for Safer Cars 2020
Presentation by
David Ward, Secretary General,
Global New Car Assessment Programme
29 October 2015, Mandarin Orchard,
Singapore
2. On 25 September the UN adopted the
Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
Road safety is included in Goals 3 and 11
For Health and Cities, with a target to:
Halve the number of global deaths
and injuries from road crashes by
2020.
This is the UN’s strongest ever road safety
commitment and the first ever global
casualty reduction target.
To meet the new target requires major
improvements in fatality rates per 100,000
Population in high middle and low income
countries.
Global Goals for Sustainable Development and Road Safety
High Income Countries: from 8.7 per
deaths per 100,000 in 2010 to 4 by 2020
Middle Income Countries: from 20.1 per
deaths per 100,000 in 2010 to 7 by 2020
Low Income Countries: from 18.3 per
deaths per 100,000 in 2010 to 12 by 2020
3. Global Status Report on Road Safety 2015
The World Health Organisation’s new report
shows that in 79 countries road fatalities have
fallen but risen in 68. Although the overall level
of road deaths has stabilised the WHO warns
that “the pace of change is too slow”.
The report also shows that fatality rates of low
and middle income countries are more than
twice that of high income nations. Despite
having only half the worlds vehicles they also
have 90% of total road deaths.
The report also confirms that road crashes are
the number one killer of young people aged
between 15-19 years.
More action is clearly required to achieve the
new UN target to halve road deaths by 2020.
4. The Decade is supported by a Global Plan with
five pillars of action:
1. Building Management Capacity
2. Encouraging Safer User Behaviour
3. Building Safer Vehicles
4. Building Safer Roads
5. Improving Post Crash Care
The Global Plan includes seven recommended
activities to promote vehicle safety; such as
applying minimum crash test standards and
promoting NCAPs in all world regions. This was
endorsed by the UN GA in a resolution in April 2014.
In November progress of the Decade will be
reviewed at the 2nd Global High Level Conference on
Road Safety hosted by the Government of Brazil on
18-19 November in Brasilia.
UN Decade of Action for Road Safety
5. UN Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations
The Global Plan of the Decade supports
wider application of the most important
global standards available under the 1958
and 1998 agreements of the UN World
Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle
Regulations (WP29).*
These are:
Reg. 14 Seat belt anchorages
Reg. 16 Safety belts & restraints
Reg. 94 Frontal collision
Reg. 95 Lateral collision
Reg.13H (GTR 8) Electronic stability control
Reg.127 (GTR 9) Pedestrian protection
Reg. 44/129 Child restraints
*or equivalent national standards (eg: FVMSSs)
6. The 2015 Status Report:
• Reveals “worrying data” showing that
only 40 out of a total of 193 UN
Member States fully apply the seven
most important UN safety regulations
and these are overwhelmingly high-
income countries.
• Says “there is an urgent need for these
minimum vehicle standards to be
implemented by every country”.
• Warns that “regulations helping to
protect occupants withstand front and
side impact crashes are poorly
implemented globally” and also calls for
mandatory fitment of electronic
stability control.
Vehicle Safety in the Global Road Safety Status Report 2015
7. In high income countries the combination of
safety standards and consumer information
have made passenger cars safer than ever
before. This is the positive result of “regulatory
push” and “demand pull”.
The challenge now is to extend this progress to
the rapidly motorising low and middle income
countries which now account 50% of car sales
and production…and over 90% of road fatalities.
Today millions of new cars sold in low and
middle income countries fail to meet minimum
UN crash test standards, have no air bags, and
no electronic stability control (ESC).
Vehicle Safety’s Winning Formula:
Regulatory Push & Demand Pull
8. Crash Worthiness: Front & Side Occupant Protection
Crash tests for front and side impact are the
most important assessment tools for occupant
protection; and are used both in legislation
and consumer information programmes.
The frontal impact simulates a car to car crash
in which the test vehicle hits a barrier that
replicates the soft front end of the other
vehicle. The impact is ‘offset’ with a 40%
overlap.
The UN Reg. 94 test speed is 56 km/h whilst
NCAP tests usually use 64 km/h (a speed
at which fatalities are likely to occur).
The side impact test uses a trolley that hits the
vehicle just above the door sill area at 50 km/h.
9. No airbag and poor body shell integrity
gives zero stars. But just adding an airbag
(see below) makes no difference…
The combination of good body shell
integrity and an airbag results in a
survivable crash.
10. Global NCAP For Safer Cars…Worldwide
The first NCAP was launched in 1978
by the US National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration.
NCAPs promote a ‘market for safety’
by raising awareness of the car buying
public, and rewarding manufacturers
that build the safest cars.
There are now nine NCAPs active in Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America and the USA.
In 2011 Global NCAP was launched as a UK registered charity which aims to:
• offer support to New Car Assessment Programmes in emerging economies and regions
by offering technical support guidance and quality assurance.
• provide a platform for cooperation for NCAPs and like organisations around the world to
share best practice, and exchange information.
• support the UN Decade of Action 2011-2020 and implementation of the Global Plan for
the Decade especially its motor vehicle pillar.
11. Since 2012 ASEAN NCAP has tested over 50
models with results varying from zero to five
stars. The test requirement in ASEAN NCAP
for five stars includes electronic stability control.
This year ASEAN NCAP plans to test at least 17 cars
with further results being released through the
year. See: http://www.aseancap.org/
In September ASEAN NCAP held its Annual Forum
in Bandung Indonesia bringing together road safety
experts and partners from across the ASEAN
region. They completed their pilot phase and
published a report listing all the results.
Last month ASEAN NCAP also carried out a motor
cycle crash test to demonstrate the two wheeler
safety issues.
2015 Update
13. The Growing Importance of Crash Avoidance Systems
Three key crash avoidance systems are today’s priority
technologies for passenger cars, buses, commercial
vehicles and motor cycles:
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) anti-skid system
with capacity to reduce up to 40% of run-off road
crashes. Now mandatory in most high income
countries.
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) automatically
applies the brakes if the driver does not react and can
cut collisions at low speed by 20%. Pedestrian systems
are also appearing and will become an important injury
prevention technology.
Motorcycle Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) improves stability
and braking performance. Motorcycles equipped with
ABS have rate of fatal crashes 37 per cent lower than
same models without.
14. without ESC with ESC
Seventeen case studies between 2001 and
2007 have shown ESC to be highly effective.
In Europe it is estimated that since 1995 at
least 188,500 crashes involving injury have
been avoided and more than 6,100 lives
saved by ESC.
ESC is mandatory in Australia, Canada, the
European Union, Israel, Japan, New
Zealand, Russia, South Korea, Turkey and
the USA and will soon also be in Argentina.
Global NCAP believes that the current ESC
global fitment rate of just over 60% of new
passenger cars and light duty vehicles is too
low and wants this to be raised to 100% by
2020.
ESC: A Proven Life Saver
16. Better to Stop the Crash than Have One!
#Stop the Crash is a new global initiative to promote
the most important crash avoidance systems and also
tyre safety.
#Stop the Crash partners include the ADAC, Autoliv, Bosch,
Continental, Denso, Thatcham, ZF-TRW, and the Towards
Zero Foundation.
#Stop the Crash will promote electronic stability control,
autonomous emergency braking ,and anti-lock brakes on
motorcycles.
#Stop the Crash will be launched on 17 November in
Brasilia prior to the Global High Level Conference on Road
Safety and feature demonstrations for VIPs and the media.
#Stop the Crash supports the UN Global Goals target to
halve road fatalities and injuries by 2020.
17. Global NCAP’s Road Map for Safer Cars :
• Calls for the combination of stronger
consumer information and universal
application of minimum UN standards for
crash protection and avoidance.
• Ten key recommendations including the
application to all new cars of the UN’s
front, side and pedestrian impact crash
tests and the anti-skid system, electronic
stability control, by 2020 at the latest.
• Will be submitted to the 2nd Global
Ministerial Conference on Road Safety to
be held on 18-19 November 2015 hosted
by the government of Brazil.

19. • Meeting minimum crash standards can cost less
than US $200 per vehicle.
• Airbag costs have fallen by over 60% in 15 years to
about US$50 per unit. ESC (for a car with ABS) also
costs less than US$50 per unit.
• Car companies are developing global platforms
producing many different models reducing costs
and raising their profitability.
• Universal implementation of UN standards for crash
protection and avoidance will bring economies of
scale, reduce cost, and promote fair competition .
• Governments can promote safer cars by giving fiscal
incentives for vehicles featuring improved safety
technologies.
Key Message: Safety is not a Luxury and is Affordable
