Motor Vehicle Technologies Safety Analyses conducted with the

Partnership for Analytics Research in Traffic Safety (PARTS) trusted third party

C.1 Overview

This new contract initiative for FY26-27 provides funding to add new tasks and deliverables and continue the ongoing research execution performed under contract 6913G625C100007 with Partnership for Analysis and Research in Traffic Safety (PARTS) members and the trusted third party to performing analyses of vehicle safety performance using non-federal vehicle-level information augmented with non-sensitive federal information, including U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) highway crash data. The Contractor is responsible to the government as defined in this Performance Work Statement. The Contractor shall perform to the standards herein.

C.2 Background

Safety and innovation are top priorities for the USDOT. In support of safety and innovation activities, the Volpe Center has been actively engaged in research examining the impact of deploying automated driving features within the new light-vehicle fleet. Recently, this included research encompassing collision avoidance warnings, active crash avoidance or injury mitigation safety systems, and sustained lateral and/or longitudinal vehicle control, considered advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) within a limited operational envelope. One aspect of this research track includes the execution of a novel data trust, PARTS, as a collaborative non-regulatory approach that uses independent data stewardship to share aggregated sensitive data amongst participants. PARTS enables the discovery of insights of transportation safety and technologies at a level of granularity that is not otherwise possible.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) initiated a Phase I prototype of PARTS in 2017. In Phase I, facilitated by the MITRE Corporation (MITRE), participants explored the feasibility of a data trust with auto-industry original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and the Volpe Center administered the contract for Phase I. PARTS Phase I established collaborative and trusting working relationships amongst the partners. NHTSA and participating OEMs had securely shared a limited amount of data as a basis for collaboration on automatic emergency braking (AEB) analyses to discern its safety performance. MITRE aggregated, de-identified, and processed the partner data to allow for analysis. The scope of data sharing and Information Technology (IT) used in Phase I were both relatively limited. PARTS Phases II and III built upon the model established in Phase I, expanding the scope of the data trust to examine the effectiveness additional technologies, incorporating additional crash data and vehicle data from former and new OEM members that have joined the partnership.

PARTS Phase IV is underway to complete the research topics selected by the PARTS Research Working Group (RWG) and that was voted upon at successive All-Hands meetings with the approval of the PARTS Governance board. PARTS Phase IV research topics include, but are not limited to, analysis of ADAS effectiveness using FARS data, injury reduction and mitigation analysis, effectiveness of ADAS technologies using Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) data collected from OEM vehicles via telematics and dealer visits. This contract will enable the continued research between the Volpe Center, USDOT, OEMs, external organizations and the trusted third party to execute the PARTS program and related research.

The MITRE corporation’s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) was selected by the government to serve as PARTS’ trusted third party in PARTS Phases I, II, III, and IV. CAASD, as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) , by law, cannot compete with industry and does not profit from the government’s decisions.

C.3 Quality Control

The Volpe Center Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and Project Manager (PM) will:

• Measure the quality control for this contract against the contractor’s quality assurance plan.

• Review all deliverables developed under this contract, which will receive an independent peer review when appropriate.

Once the review is complete and all necessary notations have been made to the deliverables, the COR will return the draft deliverables to the contractor. The contractor shall then incorporate any changes needed to address the government’s comments and shall submit the final deliverables to the COR.

C.4 Scope

Under this contract, the Contractor shall expand the scope and complexity of the data aggregation, anonymization, and preparation needed to enable future analyses. The contractor shall advance the level of maturity of the partnership and the trusted third-party role by deepening the level of collaboration between the partners, maturing the data-sharing platform to accelerate independent analyses for comparison, and increasing the number of participant organizations. As such, the work performed under this contract is non-severable. Specifically, the Contractor shall:

1) Expand and mature the breadth and depth of the partnership by:

a) Providing necessary governance and management to ensure success of the data trust and partnership.

b) Providing and leveraging highway safety expertise to facilitate novel research that can only be accomplished in a data trust.
