Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on personal flotation devices (PFDs) is reported in three volumes. Volume 1 summarizes the research and presents a Proposed Technical Approach for development of performance-based PFD evaluation procedures. Volume II is the technical report. Volume III contains appendices. The Life-Saving Index (LSI) System provides a quantitative measure of the life-saving capability of PFDs called the Life-Saving Index (LSI). The LSI predicts the life-saving performance of the candidate PFD and makes it possible to compare diverse PFDs including inflatables, hybrids, and inherently buoyant devices. In one of two studies of PFD wearability/accessibility, nearly 2500 boaters were observed in recreational boating activities. In Study II, 67 different kinds of PFDs representing the major varieties available world-wide were distributed to recreational boaters for use and evaluation. Indices of PFD wearability and accessibility were developed, based upon evaluations and PFD use behavior. One approach to PFD effectiveness used the center and distribution of buoyancy to predict the effectiveness of PFDs on human subjects. A second approach employed an anthropomorphic dummy to simulate human buoyancy characteristics. A PFD effectiveness evaluation procedure using human body simulators is recommended. Reliability research centered on the development of an accelerated aging method which simulates the aging of PFDs in the recreational boating environment. Controlled experiments were performed to determine the individual and combined effects of environmental stressors on PFDs. Test procedures and a reliability model are presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appendices to the technical report on Personal Flotation Devices (PFD) research are presented. These appendices contain additional wearability/accessibility data crosstabulations, three technical briefs on PFD reliability research, three appendices to the Accident Recovery Model, and an appendix to the cost/benefit analysis of LSI implementation alternatives. Volume 1 of this three volume report is an Executive Summary and Proposed Technical Approach. Volume 2 is the technical report of the research program. (Author).

This book was released on 1978 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on the development of a comprehensive system for evaluating the life-saving capability of Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) is reported. The approach contained herein evaluates PFDs on the basis of a probabilistic equation called the Life-Saving Index (LSI), which includes parameters measuring device assessibility, wearability, ease of donning after an accident, effectiveness when held or worn, and reliability. A projected benefit of 48 lives per year is shown, through a minimum cost impact implementation of the Life-Saving Index System. This minimum cost impact approach consists of implementation of the LSI System through an optional 'Type X' approval using the LSI System. Type X devices, which could include inflatable and hybrid PFDs, would be required to have a LSI higher than present Type III devices. PFDs would be submitted for LSI System approval only if the manufacturer chose to, and sold only if the public wanted to buy and utilize the more effective Type X device. Definitions and means of determining the value of each of the parameters of the LSI, for a given PFD, are given along with recommendations for future work and preliminary test procedures for future approval/certification programs. Estimated costs and benefits, based on accident data, laboratory field testing, and field observations are given for the Type X implementation approach as well as alternative implementation plans. Volume 2 is the technical report for this research program, and Volume 3 contains appendices to Volume 2.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated package of methods is presented for evaluating the benefits and costs of USCG recreational boating safety (and similar) programs and regulations. A general procedure for developing specific accident model data bases is presented along with a selection guide of model forms. An Accident Recovery Model is described in depth and used to develop benefit estimations. Guidelines for and examples of the multistate benefit analysis technique are presented. The Box-Jenkins approach to time series analysis is described and used to generate forecasts of future boating fatalities. Equations are developed for predicting the potential benefits of contemplated regulations. Analytic techniques, including intervention analysis and Benefit Assessment Diagram methods, are presented for assessing the past benefit effects of USCG regulations. Benefit evaluation examples include the level flotation, safe powering, safe loading, and basic flotation regulations. Some basic interrelationship models are presented to illustrate the nature of the marine market and the cost transfers required for tracking cost elements.
