This letter report of the Transportation Research Board Committee for the Study of a Motor Vehicle Rollover Rating System is addressed to Mr. L. Robert Shelton III, Executive Director, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The main objectives of this report are (1) to present the committee'’s preliminary findings and (2) to identify outstanding issues that the committee intends to address before issuing its final report at the end of the year. The committee has identified three subject areas of major importance for this study: —vehicle dynamics, statistics and data analysis, and consumer information. The activities being undertaken within each of these areas are described. After completing its information-gathering activities, the committee will hold two further meetings devoted to committee deliberations and the development of a draft final report.
