Office of Vehicle Safety Research (OVSR) Studies
NHTSA’s Office of Vehicle Safety Research (OVSR) conducts research at the NHTSA Vehicle
Research and Test Center (VRTC) in East Liberty, Ohio. Research programs covered by this

production driver-assistive and advanced technologies. The research is conducted by NHTSA
VRTC staff with the support of its on-site support services contractor, Transportation Research
Center, Inc. (TRC). This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is being conducted because in the
context of this research, NHTSA and its contractor, TRC, collect, process, and maintain
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on members of the public.
