Founded in 2015, Kinetic Metrics offers a variety of services related to automotive safety.

Services

  • NHTSA Safety Compliance Consulting & Training
    We help clients understand FMVSS, SAE standards, and other vehicle and equipment safety rules. Whether you’re a startup or an established company, safety and compliance training is essential. Kinetic Metrics can create a new training program or update an existing one. Let us help you build a strong safety culture!

  • New Technology Research and Quarterly Newsletter
    We provide insight into new or proposed rules and regulations for advanced driver assistance systems, automated driving systems, and other emerging technologies. We also offer a flat-rate quarterly newsletter on upcoming regulations and standards.

  • Hazard and Trend Analysis
    We can analyze a manufacturer's data with insights like those used by NHTSA. By tracking data trends, we recommend the best ways to address potential safety issues. Our hazard and trend analysis methods work for other industries too. We also built a dashboard to help collect and analyze the data. Learn more about our TRIP application here.

  • Subject Matter Expertise/Expert Witness Testimony
    Whether you need to build a team or gain deeper insight into the automotive sector, Kinetic Metrics provides subject-matter expertise across a wide range of automotive topics. We’ve supported financial investors, IT and security firms, and law firms. Our experience gives your team a practical edge, and we also serve as expert witnesses—providing depositions, testimony, and technical support for court cases. Learn more in our blog post here.

  • Importation & International Standards
    We help non-U.S. companies understand vehicle import options (Box 7, Register Importer, etc.) and compare foreign standards to U.S. rules. This is especially useful for new entrants needing temporary importation of ADS-equipped vehicles.

  • Part 555 Exemptions & NHTSA Interpretations

    If you need an interpretation or exemption, our team has the technical expertise to draft the appropriate letter to NHTSA or other relevant agencies.

  • NHTSA TREAD Act
    We help prepare and submit NHTSA TREAD Act early warning reports. That includes reviewing consumer complaints, warranty reports, and death/injury data. We can file recall-related documents as your third-party agent, handling all paperwork for you.

  • Transportation Research and Planning
    We research a variety of transportation planning and safety topics. We can conduct surveys, perform basic research, and provide strategies to move projects forward. We recently completed a project for the National Park Service to generate a signage and transportation plan for two of their park sites.

  • Audits
    With our past experiences on Monitor Teams, we know how to assess a company’s current processes, roles, and responsibilities and provide recommendations to streamline their workload and perspective better.

  • Safety Investigations
    Already have an issue that needs to be analyzed? Our investigative experience provides the tools and knowledge to research and analyze a potential defect and give insight into the best remedy.
