ECIS Nested content
In 2014 TAC committed $8 million to the MUARC Enhanced Crash Investigation Study (ECIS) as part of its strategy to reduce road trauma by 30% by 2022.
The study examines more than 400 serious injury crashes in microscopic detail to gain an in-depth understanding of what causes such crashes. The TAC funded research initiative, looks at more than 5,000 pieces of individual information relating each of the 400 crashes to determine the leading factors in how they occur and subsequent injuries.
The study will help underpin Victoria's efforts to implement the Safe System approach to road safety. The Safe System aims to prevent road deaths and injuries by ensuring Victorians are safer drivers, driving safer cars, on safer roads and at safer speeds.
