CARRS-Q undertakes research into road safety and injury prevention in order to address the enormous human, economic and social costs resulting from road crashes.  The Centre has a commitment to achieve real and long-term results by providing research based information to policy makers and the community.

CARRS-Q research projects are grouped into the following themes: Intelligent Transport Systems, Occupational Safety, Regulation and Enforcement, Road Safety InfrastructureSchool and Community Injury Prevention, and Vulnerable Road Users (view main Research page).

Until 2009, CARRS-Q research was grouped into Illegal and High Risk Behaviours, Human Behaviour and Technology Interface, Vulnerable Road Users, School and Community Based Road Safety and Work Related Road Safety (view archived research).

 

The CARRS-Q Advanced Driving Simulator was completed in 2010, and is available for use by researchers.  In 2008 the Centre established the Queensland Independent Survey Panel in Road Safety (InSPiRS) to help with road safety research.
