This report summarizes the work of the CEA/EU SARAC II Project “Quality Criteria for the Safety Assessment of Cars based on Real World Crashes”. It is based on the individual subtask reports that have been established during the project. It summarises the subtask reports and presents recommendations for future activities and proposals for applications of the now available methodologies for safety rating. This research report, based on a worldwide review of existing methods and experiences in safety rating, may act as a basis for further development of safety ratings and should promote the installation of a harmonised safety rating procedure in Europe. References in the text will guide the reader to detailed information on the subtask reports that are annexed to this final Project Summary Report. (Author/publisher)
