Each year, NHTSA executes a broad array of research programs. The agency’s research portfolio covers program areas pertaining to vehicle safety, including safety countermeasures implemented through the vehicle; its components; operations and use, including accessibility considerations; alternative fuels; among others, and behavioral safety, which includes safety countermeasures that pertain to the behavior and actions of drivers, occupants, and other road users, including vulnerable populations.
