What is CISS?

Post by MSI »

in 2016 NHTSA renamed NASS the Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS)
They're added a Crash Viewer page from which you can search for investigated crashes for ones similar to the make/model/year/crash type/severity level of any crash.
from the page:
  • NHTSA is authorized by Congress (Volume 489, United States Code Chapter 301 Motor Vehicle Safety, Section 30166, 30168 and Volume 23 , Section 403) to collect information on motor vehicle crashes to aid in the development, implementation and evaluation of motor vehicle and highway safety countermeasures. The law requires the agency to protect the privacy of individuals involved in crashes investigated. Agency procedure for release, accuracy and security of research data collected under the crash data programs prohibit the dissemination of any information collected, assembled, derived or computed until all conditions of data gathering and reporting, case completeness, quality control and privacy have been completed. The cases available through the online web query system have met these conditions.
