The breadth and scope of road safety research in Australia and around the world continues to have profound effect through smarter road rules, better infrastructure for safer roads, safer vehicle technologies and cutting-edge campaigns for road safety.
The Centre for Automotive Safety Research (CASR), as an internationally renowned road safety research facility within the University of Adelaide, conducts projects to reveal the extent and type of problems on our roads, to prioritise interventions and to evaluate the impact of interventions and other actions. CASR and other Australian organisations publish their findings for the benefit of all road users in all countries around the world – to make roads and road users safer.
