Introduction:
VSIRC provides critical research tools and access to government data and documents on motor vehicle safety. These tools allow users to quickly and easily identify vital information that is difficult to access and search, inaccessible through the government web portals, or no longer available from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. VSIRC adds coding, cataloging and search mechanisms to significantly improve the ability to locate and identify relevant data and documents reducing research time and expense.
Phase 1 of VSIRC includes four datasets based on records and documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: Recalls, Defect Investigations, Complaints, and Crash / Compliance Tests.
18 Mar 2009Case History
VSIRC has released Version 1.2 of its acclaimed
vehicle safety research system. The latest version includes a project / case history feature that allows users to track time and
review and access prior research.
With the new history feature users create a reference ID when logging into VSIRC that links each search to a specified project or case file. Prior searches can be reloaded instantly and research histories can be emailed or printed in an easy to review table.
"The feature was designed to meet two goals" says VSIRC president, Sean Kane. "First, it allows users to produce an accounting of their research time and work on each project or case. Second, it provides an easy recall of prior research." More about: Headline and associate teaser
