註釋Vehicle safety rating programs based on crash tests have been criticised that they use crash test dummies that represented a limited range of body shapes. Therefore, such tests may not be addressing the safety needs of occupants whose body shapes do not correspond to that of the test dummies. Similarly, vehicle safety ratings programs based on real world crash data, such as the Used Car Safety Ratings (UCSR) system (Newstead et al, 2006), may not be applicable to occupants whose body shapes do not do not match the body shape of the profile of drivers to which the ratings are standardised. The data compiled for the Used Car Safety Ratings project was used in this project to identify and quantify the difference in relative vehicle market group safety depending on driver age and gender. This was done by introducing terms representing interaction between market group and age and sex of driver into the logistic regression models used to produce the Used Car Safety Ratings.
