Welcome to the Collision Safety Institute!
The Collision Safety Institute (CSI) is an independent traffic collision research, training and consulting organization. CSI’s mission is to provide state-of-the-art training and technology transfer to both public and private entities involved in the analysis and evaluation of motor vehicle collisions, provide technical support to professional associations and organizations in their training efforts and conduct testing and research on surface vehicle collision topics and related technology.
To this end, CSI works to provide credible, topically focused and up-to-date collision analysis training in the most cost-effective manner possible in part by forging strategic alliances and partnerships throughout the industry and into related communities. CSI offers courses which meet and exceed the quality and quantity of comparable training programs by virtue of their basis in practical, well document crash testing. CSI courses offer the collision analyst the tools, information and skills to investigate, analyze, and reconstruct motor vehicle collisions based on meaningful, practical information.
When it comes to research and testing, CSI’s unique assembly of the varied backgrounds and disciplines, experience and talents of the staff, affiliate and adjunct instructors and researchers offers more than 150 years of combined, cumulative experience in virtually all areas of motor vehicle collision research and analysis. For more than the past 15 years, in a variety of conditions and addressing a multitude of situations and variables, CSI’s experts have been involved in more than 1000 pedestrian, motorcycle, air bag deployment, low speed and even commercial vehicle crash tests.
