Book excerpt: Increasing seat belt use is one of the most effective and least costly ways of reducing the lives lost and injuries incurred on the nation's highways each year, yet about one in four drivers and front-seat passengers continues to ride unbuckled. The Transportation Research Board, in response to a congressional request for a study to examine the potential of in-vehicle technologies to increase belt use, formed a panel of 12 experts having expertise in the areas of automotive engineering, design, and regulation; traffic safety and injury prevention; human factors; survey research methods; economics; and technology education and consumer interest. This panel, named the Committee for the Safety Belt Technology Study, examined the potential benefits of technologies designed to increase belt use, determined how drivers view the acceptability of the technologies, and considered whether legislative or regulatory actions are necessary to enable their installation on passenger vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the study sponsor, funded and conducted interviews and focus groups of samples of different belt user groups to learn more about the potential effectiveness and acceptability of technologies ranging from seat belt reminder systems to more aggressive interlock systems, and provided the information collected to the study committee. The committee also supplemented its expertise by holding its second meeting in Dearborn, Michigan, where it met in proprietary sessions with several of the major automobile manufacturers, a key supplier, and a small business inventor of a shifter interlock system to learn of planned new seat belt use technologies as well as about company data concerning their effectiveness and acceptability. The committee's findings and recommendations are presented in this five-chapter report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seat belt usage has frequently been identified as one of the most effective ways of improving highway safety and considered to be particularly useful in reducing fatalities. However, the state of Kansas experiences considerably lower safety belt usage rates compared to many other states and the national average. The Kansas Department of Transportation and other involved parties are interested in improving the usage rates and thereby improve safety of road users in Kansas. Accordingly, the main objective of this study was to explore the methods to increase seat belt usage in Kansas with the intention of reducing huge economic losses to the state in the form of traffic crashes. This objective was achieved by two parallel approaches: (1) By identifying the factors that affect safety belt usage in Kansas so that more effective programs could be developed. (2) By gathering information on attitudes, perceptions, understanding and other related characteristics of Kansans in relation to safety belt use. During the first approach, statistical models were developed to predict state seat belt usage rates based on factors that include demographic characteristics, socio-economic factors and policies/regulations. To supplement this, statistical models predicting traffic fatalities and unrestrained vehicle occupant fatalities as a function of seat belt law and other characteristics mentioned previously were also developed. These models could be used to quantify the effects of enforcing primary seat belt law in saving lives in Kansas. During the second approach, focus group surveys were conducted among Kansans to identify more direct human factor related issues and seat belt usage in Kansas. Focus group surveys of Kansas drivers were a real eye opener, indicating very low understanding regarding the seat belt law, where lower income groups, younger drivers, and minority groups particularly lagged. Stated belt use behavior revealed that females versus males, van users versus pick-up truck drivers, older drivers versus young drivers, non-Hispanics versus Hispanics are more likely to use seat belts. Reasons for non-use included absence of factors which positively affect the decision, types of trips. Even though some of these factors are beyond control, other findings indicate that a considerable percentage of drivers suggest stricter laws and other punishments to improve their own safety, perhaps because they are not able to maintain a high level of self-discipline by themselves.

Download or read book Restraint Use (seat Belt and Child Passenger Seat) Survey written by Bruce Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Arizona, lack of restraint usage (seat belts and child passenger seats) was a contributing factor to an average of 687 fatalities per year which is nearly 60% of total fatalities. These tragic statistics could be dramatically decreased if effective strategies and educational messages encouraged more people to buckle up. Due to the great opportunity to save lives, increasing restraint usage has been identified as one of five key emphasis areas of Arizona's Strategic Highway Safety Plan. Arizona has seen a restraint usage rate of approximately 80% for the last several years as reported through the annual National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS). Although there is a good understanding of the reported seat belt usage, there is not a good understanding of who is not using seatbelts and why. To develop effective strategies and education messages to improve seat belt usage, there needs to be a better understanding of these factors. The objectives of this research were to 1) conduct a survey to identify why (or why not) people in Arizona use seatbelts and 2) develop criteria and provide recommendations on the most effective means to get drivers to buckle up.

Book excerpt: It is well documented that seat belts prevent death and reduce serious injury. Today they save an estimated 13,000 lives each year. Because safety belts are highly effective, getting the "unbelted" to use the restraints could save another 7,000 people annually. The easy converts to restraints are already buckling up. Seat belt use in the United States is now approaching 80 percent, with statewide use rates ranging from a low of 55 percent in one northeastern state to 90 percent in some western states. Today's challenge is to increase restraint use among those who have not yet accepted educational or enforcement messages{133}and the reality that seat belts save lives. Data show that 58 percent of people who die in crashes are not belted. The single most effective strategy for improving occupant restraint use rates is enactment of seat belt use primary enforcement laws in all states. Seat belt use laws by themselves are not sufficient, nor are public education efforts without an enforcement component generally successful. Another significant challenge is assuring the proper use of child restraints. Although use rates exceed 90 percent, in 6 out of 10 cases the restraints are improperly secured to the vehicle or the child is improperly secured in the restraint. One study showed 85 percent misuse.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This investigator examined the effects of two different safety messages on the self-reported seat belt use of 102 college students. Both safety messages were written to strongly encourage seat belt use. One presentation took the form of a narrative, based on the investigator's experience in a hospital Intensive Care Unit observing patients who were severely injured as a result of being unrestrained drivers in automobile crashes. In the other safety message, relevant statistics on the importance of seat belt use in preventing deaths and serious injuries in automobile crashes were presented. Subjects were surveyed on seat belt use using a self-report method immediately prior to the intervention, and this same survey was repeated four weeks later to evaluate the impact of the interventions on seat belt use rates.

Book excerpt: Seat belts are a primary motor vehicle safety device. Studies have shown that seat belts not only decrease the likelihood of being injured in a crash, they also save lives. Because of this, seat belt use is a primary concern of traffic safety professionals. Of particular concern is seat belt usage of younger or novice drivers. Statistically, teenage drivers have higher rates of crashes per vehicle mile traveled than any other age group and motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for this population. However, drivers aged 16 to 24 have the lowest seat belt usage rate of all age groups. More experienced drivers are also experiencing rates of seat belt use that are not at 100%. Attempts were made to test the effectiveness of seat belt educational activities at two rural schools/communities at increasing seat belt use, and to determine if increased enforcement has any effect at increasing seat belt use both at the high school and community levels. Although scheduled educational activities were not completed at the selected schools outlined in this report due to circumstances beyond the researchers' control, the results from the observational surveys were useful in conveying both high school and community seat belt use. Results did indicate that increased enforcement was affective at increasing seat belt use among high school drivers, but not in the community at-large. Comparisons made between the communities/high schools reinforced the findings of prior studies regarding seat belt use and gender, driver location (urban/rural), and vehicle type. Unexpected findings were obtained regarding seat belt use and age, with the results from this study completely contradicting previous studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this literature review was to serve as the background knowledgebase for a 5 - year cooperative agreement between NHTSA and the University of Michigan. This discretionary cooperative agreement i s intended to stud y promi sing lines of research that elucidate the mechanisms that underlie risk perception and can be applied to converting part - time belt users to full - time users. The overall goal of this cooperative a greement is to develop testable strategies, based on basic and applied research, for influencing risk perception to move motor vehicle occupants from part - time to full - time use o f seat belt s. Specific topics covered in this literature review are: individual belt user characteristics; social influences on bel t use; applications f rom research on other risky behaviors; policy/enforcement/incentive; communication and education; and technology. Conclusions are drawn within each section and for the review overall.
