The application CTRV has been discontinued and replaced. The test reports used to be in tiff images and are now in pdf format. All new contractor reports are also in pdf format. The test reports can be view or download from NHTS web by querying for the test or category which the test report belongs, by going to database page

In order to read the pdf reports, an adobe acrobat reader is required. The adobe acrobat reader can be downloaded by going to http://www.adobe.com/

The test repots can also available at extra cost through the National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) at George Washington University. This is to cover the cost of duplication and administrative costs associated with maintaining the program.

To order a CD-ROM please contact K.D. Agrali of NCAC at (703) 726-8226 phone/ (703)726-8358 fax and be prepared to provide the database (Vehicle Crashworthiness or Biomechanics & Trauma) and the NHTSA test number (TSTNO) associated with the test report that you wish to order.

Should you have any difficulties obtaining a test report please contact Ms. Barbara Hennessey of NHTSA Crashworthiness Research for resolution.

Entree is a data entry and validation application, for the Microsoft Windows XP platforms, developed for the express purpose of assembling data-rich crash test data sets. The NHTSA Office of Crashworthiness Research is making this software available to its contractors, test sites, and the public in order to facilitate the receipt, processing and exchange of this data.

In support of the Entree data entry application and NHTSA's crash test databases, a set of test reference guides have been developed which explain the data set format used by Entree, electronic media guidelines, engineering conventions, and coding standards. These guides form the foundation upon which the Entree application has been developed, and provide a common reference source for documenting NHTSA's crash test data exchange standards.

This is a collection of Microsoft Windows graphical applications for the analysis and processing of crash test data. Basic mathematical processing (filters, resampling) and injury criteria computations are included with a number of the packages. Source applications available for all of the applications, and binaries are provided for the Windows applications. Accompanying documentation outlines basic installation and usage, and details some of the data format and coding standards required by the applications.

Signal Analysis Software - Automatic

This is a collection of Microsoft Windows graphical applications for analysis and processing of crash test data. These application can automatically connect over the internet to connect to NHTSA public crash test data and read/write NHTSA Database submissions files.

RwForce

This program was developed to facilitate the review and analysis of LS DYNA output data in a manner consistent with the analysis of load cell data in full frontal barrier testing. The intention is to provide a simple evaluation tool that can provide analysis plots that are directly comparable to those generated from the analysis of NCAP test data. Multiple plots of the force data are conducted to evaluate and interpret the simulation results and to support the evaluation of compatibility criteria under development in the various IHRA compatibility research programs.

SISAME

SISAME performs lumped-parameter Structural Impact Simulation And Model Extraction for uniaxial vehicle impact events. Static and dynamic load-path parameters and mass weights can be extracted for given motion and/or force data with a user-supplied model configuration. Fully defined models can be used to simulate a range of events. SISAME uses a global approach to find the optimal model parameters. Simulation is performed with standard integration techniques.

NHTSA Tools Fortran

The NHTSA Tools (Fortran) comprise NHTSA's original work in developing software for the analysis of signal data generated as a result of instrumented vehicle, biomechanical, component, and signal waveform generator tests. Some of the core algorithms in this package are documented in Federal standards and have served as the theoretical foundation upon which current software has been developed.
