Summary Report, 1982-2007 Sponsoring Organisations - This project was funded as contract research by the following organisations: Road Traffic Authority of NSW, Royal Automobile Club of Victoria Ltd, NRMA Motoring and Services, VicRoads, Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia Ltd, Transport Accident Commission, New Zealand Transport Agency, the New Zealand Automobile Association, Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, Royal Automobile Club of Queensland, Royal Automobile Association of South Australia and by grants from the Australian Government Department of Transport, Infrastructure, Regional Development and Local Govenrment and the Road Safety Council of Western Australia Abstract: This study describes the calculation of updated vehicle safety ratings that measure the relative safety of vehicles in preventing severe injury to people involved in crashes. Three different aspects of secondary safety are examined: crashworthiness which focuses on drivers of the rated vehicle, aggressivity which focuses on drivers of other vehicles and unprotected road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists colliding with the rated vehicle and total secondary safety which examines the combined crashworthiness and aggressivity performance of the rated vehicle. Updated ratings for 1982-2007 model vehicles were estimated based on data on crashes in Victoria and New South Wales during 1987-2007, in Queensland, Western Australia and New Zealand during 1991-2007 and in South Australia during 1995-2007. Each rating is measured as a combination of injury severity (the risk of death or serious injury given an injury was sustained) and injury risk (the risk of injury given crash involvement). The ratings were adjusted for the sex and age of the person whose injury outcome was being measured, speed limit at the crash location, number of vehicles, crash configuration and type or road user involved where relevant, the jurisdiction in which the crash occurred and the year in which the crash occurred. These factors were strongly related to injury risk and/or severity. The ratings estimate the risk of being killed or admitted to hospital when involved in a crash, to a degree of accuracy represented by the confidence limits of the rating in each case. A new method of presenting the ratings for consumer information is introduced. The new rating presentation classifies vehicles according to where their rating lies in relation to a best performance benchmark. Crashworthiness estimates and their associated confidence limits were obtained for 427 vehicle models classified into 10 market groups with 203 models of vehicles identified as having ratings of adequate statistical precision to be compared to the crashworthiness benchmark rating of 1.60%. Aggressivity rating estimates and their associated confidence limits were obtained for 397 vehicle models with 154 having ratings of sufficient statistical precision to be compared to the aggressivity benchmark rating of 1.93%. The total secondary safety index estimates and their associated confidence limits were obtained for 484 vehicle models classified into 10 market groups with 239 being of sufficient statistical precision to be compared to the total safety index benchmark index of 1.91%. The relationship between vehicle crashworthiness and the year of manufacture of Australian passenger and light commercial vehicles manufactured from 1964 to 2007 was also investigated. Trends were examined by year of manufacture both for the fleet as a whole and by market group for vehicles manufactured from 1982 to 2007. The results of this report are based on a number of assumptions and warrant a number of qualifications that should be noted.

The ratings produced cover vehicle crashworthiness, aggressivity and total secondary safety. Crashworthiness ratings measure the relative safety of vehicles in preventing severe injury to their own drivers in crashes whilst aggressivity ratings measure the serious injury risk vehicles pose to other road users with which they collide. The aggressivity rating measure is based on collisions between the vehicle being rated and both other vehicles and unprotected road users including pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. The total secondary safety index measure integrates into one measure the combined crashworthiness and aggressivity performance of a vehicle in a way most representative of the crash population involving the vehicle fleet being rated. It considers relative injury outcomes in a mix of crashes involving light passenger vehicles including single and multi vehicle crashes, crashes with heavy vehicle and crashes involving unprotected road users. It was first developed in Newstead et al (2007a) to represent the total secondary safety performance of the vehicle across the full range of collision partners and crash types. All three measures of vehicle secondary safety performance are estimated from data on real crashes reported to police. The update is based on crash data from Victoria and New South Wales during 1987-2007, from Queensland, Western Australia and New Zealand during 1991-2007 and from South Australia during 1995-2007. The rating of vehicle crashworthiness through analysis of real crash data, as carried out here, and through crash tests carried out by consumer groups such as the Australasian New Car Assessment Program is aimed at informing consumers about relative vehicle safety performances as well as encouraging manufacturers to improve vehicle safety. A new method of presenting the ratings for consumer information is introduced. The new rating presentation classifies vehicles according to where their rating lies in relation to a best performance benchmark. Crashworthiness ratings were measured by a combination of injury severity (of injured drivers) and injury risk (of drivers involved in crashes). Crashworthiness injury severity was based on 348,618 drivers injured in crashes in Victoria during 1987-2007, in New South Wales during 1987-1998, in South Australia during 1995-2007 and in Queensland, Western Australia and New Zealand during 1991-2007. Crashworthiness injury risk was based on 1,831,574 drivers involved in crashes in New South Wales during 1987-2007, in South Australia during 1995-2007 and Western Australia and Queensland during 1991-2007 where a vehicle was towed away or someone was injured. The crashworthiness ratings were adjusted for the driver sex and age, the speed limit at the crash location, the year in which the crash occurred, the jurisdiction in which the crash occurred and the number of vehicles involved in the crash. These factors were found to be strongly associated with injury risk and injury severity. Adjustments were made with the aim of measuring the effects of vehicle factors alone, uncontaminated by other non-vehicle related factors available in the data that affected crash severity and injury susceptibility. The crashworthiness ratings estimate the risk of a driver of the focus vehicle being killed or admitted to hospital when involved in a tow-away crash, to a degree of accuracy represented by the confidence limits of the rating in each case. Crashworthiness ratings and their iv MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE associated confidence limits were calculated for 427 individual vehicle models manufactured between the years 1982-2007. The estimates and their associated confidence limits were sufficiently sensitive that they were able to identify 203 models of passenger cars, four

  • National Media Launch MY17 Holden Astra November 2017 PRODUCT
    National Media Launch MY17 Holden Astra November 2017 PRODUCT INFORMATION OVERVIEW Holden confirmed it was bringing the all-new Astra to Australia in September 2015. Following the announcement, Astra has collected a variety of awards in Europe and UK, including 2016 European Car of the Year and the Golden Steering Wheel. Astra has received the plaudits for its blend of premium European styling, state-of-the-art technology and exceptional driving performance, redefining what a mainstream small car is and taking the fight to luxury brands. Whilst the Astra name is long serving in Australia, the incoming Astra is all-new. Developed from a clean-sheet design under the watchful eye of Opel/Vauxhall’s Vice President – Design, Mark Adams, Astra exhibits the same sleek, ‘Sculptural Artistry meets German Precision’ design philosophy first introduced on the stunning Monza concept in 2013. Focused on blending style and efficiency, Astra is built off a new vehicle architecture that facilitates up to 140kg weight reduction whilst allowing the introduction of distinct styling cues. A rear floating roof design complemented by a sports front fascia and grille that extends seamlessly into the front LED headlamp design, give Astra a strong and unmistakable road presence. Holden engineering has been involved in the Astra program since its conception and identified many efficiencies and similarities in what Holden and Opel customers expect from, and use, their vehicles. Resultantly, Holden engineers were present for validations of the car and subsequently decided upon developing a unique Australian chassis tune to ensure Astra performs on Australian roads, as a Holden should.
