Abstract

An evaluation of the National Accident Sampling System (NASS) being administered by the NHTSA is given. The major findings of the evaluation are: (1) nationally representative highway accidents are needed; (2) if attained, NASS publicly stated objectives will provide valuable information to the Nation's Highway Safety program; (3) the NASS plan for the near future emphasizes motor vehicle crashworthiness and primarily supports NHTSA's mission; (4) the NASS program alone will provide limited capability for evaluating many countermeasures; (5) the implementation of NASS has produced beyond the level of planning; and (6) through improved planning and broader perspective NASS could become an important part of the national highway safety program.
