Fatality Analysis Reporting System

2010-07-02T18:24:28Z

202.72.121.108:

'''Fatality Analysis Reporting System''' ('''FARS''') was created in the United States by [[NHTSA]] (the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to provide an overall measure of highway safety, to help suggest solutions, and to help provide an objective basis to evaluate the effectiveness of motor vehicle safety standards and highway safety programs.

FARS contains data on a census of fatal traffic crashes within the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To be included in FARS, a crash must involve a motor vehicle travelling on a trafficway customarily open to the public and result in the death of a person (occupant of a vehicle or a non-occupant) within 30 days of the crash. FARS has been operational since 1975 and has collected information on over 989,451 motor vehicle fatalities and collects information on over 100 different coded data elements that characterizes the crash, the vehicle, and the people involved.

FARS is vital to the mission of NHTSA to reduce the number of motor vehicle crashes and deaths on our nation's highways, and subsequently, reduce the associated economic loss to society resulting from those motor vehicle crashes and fatalities. FARS data is critical to understanding the characteristics of the environment, trafficway, vehicles, and persons involved in the crash.

NHTSA has a cooperative agreement with an agency in each state government to provide information in a standard format on fatal crashes in the state. Data is collected, coded and submitted into a micro-computer data system and transmitted to Washington, D.C. Quarterly files are produced for analytical purposes to study trends and evaluate the effectiveness highway safety programs. This Data is tabulated and provided to the public via the FARS Interface at [http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov]

Subcompact sedan

202.72.121.108:

A '''Subcompact sedan''' is refers to a classification of sedan size that are smaller than compact sedans.

==Past subcompact sedans==

*[[Toyota Corolla]]
*[[Honda Civic]]

==Present subcompact sedans==

*[[Toyota Vios]]
*[[Toyota Yaris]] sedan
*[[Honda City]]
*[[Nissan Versa]] sedan
*[[Nissan Sunny]]
*[[Suzuki Neo Baleno]]
*[[Suzuki SX4]] sedan

== Platforms ==

Almost all present subcompact sedans are based on hatchbacks.Usually modern subcompact sedans have the same body as the hatchback version with sedan style tail.As the result,most modern subcompact cars are too tall for a sedan.For example, Toyota Vios is a Yaris with restyled exterior details,although,the body is still the same.Unlike the Yaris,the Vios has sedan style cargo.However,because the body is based on Yaris , the driving position doesn't feel like a true sedan.

==Segements==

Basically subcompact sedans are made for those who cannot afford a "real sedan".Instead,they buy a hatchback based sedan,so it can be classified as a sedan.
