How IIHS Research Is Helping Improve Auto Safety

One of your responsibilities as an Illinois driver is to drive safely. The IIHS (Institute for Highway Safety) was established in 1959 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding auto designs and driver practices to reduce accidents. Their studies examine human factors (such as teenage drivers or driving while impaired by alcohol) and vehicle factors (including crash tests and crash repair effectiveness).

IIHS’s ongoing research has discovered how some road designs may contribute to the prevalence of crashes. The organization has created a publicity campaign to persuade Illinois drivers to become more compliant with seatbelt laws. Their research and recommendations to car manufacturers have been an influential factor in the decrease of fatal auto accidents since 1979, despite an increase in miles driven.
