Crash test

Calspan also holds the NHTSA contracts for executing New Car Assessment Program crash tests.

Also, the Monash University department of civil engineering routinely conducts crash tests for the purposes of roadside barrier safety and design.

There are a number of crash test programs around the world dedicated to providing consumers with a source of comparitative information in relation to the safety performance of new and used vehicles.

Examples of new car crash test programs include National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's NCAP, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Australasian New Car Assessment Program, EuroNCAP and JapNCAP.

In 2020, EuroNCAP introduces a mobile progressive deformable barrier (MPDB) test first experimented on the Toyota Yaris.
