Large Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS)
KLD researchers collected data on the primary and secondary causes of serious large truck crashes.  This first-ever national research study of large truck crash causation was sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), cooperatively with the NHTSA.  This data is being used to determine crash causation trends which will ultimately lead to the implementation of effective highway safety countermeasures.

Tire Pressure System Study (TPSS)
KLD researchers collected data for the TPSS.  In response to Section 12 of the TREAD Act, NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) conducted the Tire Pressure Special Study (TPSS). The TPSS was designed to assess to what extent passenger vehicle operators are aware of the recommended tire pressures for their vehicles, the frequency and the means they use to measure their tire pressure, and how significantly actual measured tire pressure differs from the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure.

Pedestrian Crash Data Study (PCDS)
KLD researchers collected on-scene crash data. The data is being used by government scientists and engineers to understand the causes and resulting injuries in pedestrian crashes, and help develop effective countermeasures.

Redesigned Air Bag Special Study (RABSS)
KLD researchers collected data on high interest crashes (children, out of position occupants, high damage severity, and multiple injured occupants), involving vehicles equipped with a redesigned air bag in which the air bag has deployed.
 
Speeding and other Unsafe Driver Actions (SUDA)
KLD researchers conducted in-depth interviews of crash victims.  This data is being used to analyze crash causal factors in targeted areas of special interest.

Crash-Injury and Engineering Network (CIREN)
KLD collected in-depth traffic crash data under a consulting arrangement with the Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center. CIREN is a national network that brings together researchers from the fields of medicine and engineering to work on the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of motor vehicle crash injuries.

Trauma Medical Center of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, PA.
KLD conducted a special project focused on occupants of passenger cars, light trucks, utility vehicles, and vans who sustained serious injuries. KLD developed project goals, coordinated the various personnel needed from each department, trained and supervised data collection and administrative personnel, tabulated data, and prepared progress, financial and technical reports.
