Motor Vehicle Safety

ABSTRACT In the late 1960s in the United States, public interest in motor vehicle safety was at an all-time high, resulting in the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, the Highway Safety Act, and the creation of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Around 1970, a group of industry scientists saw a need for a forum for creation of useful tire standards and dissemination of scientific knowledge about tires. This led to the formation of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Committee F-09 on tires in 1971. In 1972, the committee began publication of the journal Tire Science & Technology (TSTCA), the first peer-reviewed journal dedicated exclusively to scientific articles on tires. In 1979, ASTM ceased publication of the journal, and in 1980, members of F-09 incorporated The Tire Society to continue publication. In 1982, The Tire Society held its first annual Conference on Tire Science and Technology. Nearly 40 years later, the society has been through many changes, but the journal, the annual conference, and the core mission of encouraging and disseminating knowledge about tire science and technology remain. Through a review of documents and interviews with members of the society, this article seeks to comprehensively document the history of The Tire Society.

I would like to call your readers' attention to the effective date of the Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, Child Seating Systems, which is April 1, 1971.1 This ruling provides that child seating systems offered for sale have to meet specifications set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Now, for the first time, a physician, who can and should recommend that parents of young children purchase restraining devices, can be assured that these devices will provide effective restraint.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) guideline on state motor vehicle inspection programs recommends that states should maintain a vehicle safety inspection program to reduce the crash outcomes from the number of vehicles with existing or potential conditions. Some states have started to terminate the vehicle safety inspection program because of insufficient effectiveness measures, budget constraints, and modern safer automobiles. Despite the consensus that these periodic inspection programs improve vehicle condition and improve safety, research remains inconclusive about the effect of safety inspection programs on crash outcomes. There is little recent research on the relationship between vehicle safety inspection programs and whether these programs reduce crash rates or crash severities. According to the 2011–2016 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data, nearly 2.6% of fatal crashes happened as a result of the vehicle’s pre-existing manufacturing defects. NHTSA’s vehicle complaint database incorporates more than 1.4 million complaint reports. These reports contain extended information on vehicle-related disruptions. Around 5% of these reports involve some level of injury or fatalities. This study used these two databases to determine the effectiveness of vehicle inspection regulation programs in different states of the U.S. A statistical significance test was performed to determine the effectiveness of the vehicle safety inspection programs based on the states with and without safety inspection in place. This study concludes that there is a need for vehicle safety inspections to be continued for the reduction of vehicle complaints.

Maintaining Optimal tyre pressure is an important feature that paves the way for better control of the vehicle and thus improves the safety of the Vehicle and Humans. This paper aims to find the solutions in case of abnormal tyre pressure and hence ensure safety of the Vehicle. Reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggest that abnormal tyre pressure-related crashes cause 660 fatalities and 33,000 injuries every year. In order to ensure the safety of tyre and thereby the vehicle safety, pressure of the tyre is measured and monitored. In this project, the pressure and as well as the wear and tear in the vehicle’s tyre is also monitored and measured. The readings are sent to the controller and based on the value of the sensors the necessary ignition is controlled and in case of tyre pressure crossing the prescribed limits ignition is cut off and the vehicle comes to a halt in a safe manner and thus accident is prevented.The main aim of such a system is to add intelligence to vehicle and reduce number of accidents thus reducing the inconvenience during driving due to improper inflated tires The safety of the vehicle, durability of tires and vehicle’s fuel efficiency can thus be improved

Abstract Side impact injury and intrusion has been studied for many decades. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) side impacts account for 30% of all fatalities and 34% of all serious injuries to passenger car occupants [1,2]. A discussion of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 214 on the impactor, impacted vehicle and occupant motion is reported [3].

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.
