Seat Belt Use

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently published a final rule requiring lap/shoulder seat belts in all new large motorcoaches and buses manufactured on or after November 28, 2016 (NHTSA, 2013). Studies of vehicle belt use in passenger vehicles demonstrate that many factors other than availability influence whether a seat belt is used by an individual in a particular circumstance. The present observational study examined passenger seat belt use in airport shuttle buses traveling short distances over urban roads with frequent stops, in four U.S. cities. Seat belts were used very rarely when provided - only 1% (2 out of 156) of passengers buckled up. These findings are consistent with other studies of passenger seat belt use in motorcoach buses, and suggest that without concomitant legislation mandating and enforcing seat belt usage, the vast majority of bus passengers are unlikely to use seat belts even when provided.

Abstract Belted bias and radial Course Monitoring Tires were run over the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tread wear course at San Angelo on a vehicle instrumented to measure lateral and longitudinal accelerations, speed, and number of wheel rotations. The data were recorded as histograms. The distribution of speed, the distributions of lateral and longitudinal acceleration, and the number of acceleration level crossings are given. Acceleration data for segments of the course are also given.

Purpose: To determine the most frequent sources of injuries from the interior of motor vehicles involved in crashes.Methods: We searched the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's National Accident Sampling System to determine the most frequent sources of injuries. This database includes sources of injuries resulting from crashes from January 1, 1991 to December 31, 1992.

Celem publikacji jest weryfikacja następującej hipotezy: pojazdy produkowane współcześnie, pomimo zwiększonej masy własnej, a przez to większej energii kinetycznej uwalnianej podczas zderzenia czołowego potrafią ulegać mniejszym odkształceniom nadwozia. Autorzy dokonują tego na podstawie dwunastu raportów testów zderzeniowych przeprowadzonych przez amerykańską organizację NHTSA (ang. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). Sześć spośród nich zostało sporządzonych dla samochodów wyprodukowanych w ostatniej dekadzie XX wieku, reszta natomiast dla pojazdów wyprodukowanych w latach 2011-2015. Na ich podstawie możliwe było stworzenie porównania głębokości odkształcenia dla tych pojazdów oraz dokonanie obliczeń uwzględniających takie parametry jak: uwolniona energia kinetyczna, procentowa zmiana w długości całkowitej pojazdów oraz średnia głębokość deformacji. Słowa kluczowe: deformacja pojazdu, zderzenie czołowe, strefa kontrolowanego zgniotu, bezpieczeństwo pojazdów

Vocal Minority

As regular airline travelers will readily attest, infants and small children constitute a small but vocal minority of the passengers on commercial flights. Both of the authors have children less than 4 years of age and child restraint safety seats meeting the standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are routinely used for automobile travel. Use of safety seats has been routinely recommended to families receiving medical care from us. On several occasions, we have attempted to bring these same safety seats on board commercial aircraft for use by our children in seats for which we paid the fare.
