Section 30111 requires that a Motor Vehicle Safety Standard meet the need for safety, be stated in objective terms, and be practicable, among other requirements. from 40 agencies. Vehicles with a larger number of rear seats may present visual signal complexities and other challenges. Washington, DC: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 23. documents in the last year, 825 NHTSA seeks comment on whether the warning should be visible to the driver, the rear passenger(s), or both. 2008. MassDOT IMPACT Phase II - Identification of Risk 0000012899 00000 n 39. [29] Similarly, an audible or visual warning of a change in the status of rear seat belts could be either electronic or mechanical and could include a haptic signal. Seat belts reduce the risk of fatality for rear outboard occupants by 54 percent (passenger cars) and 75 percent (light trucks and vans), and for center occupants, by 58 percent (passenger cars) and 75 percent (light trucks and vans).[10]. [97] Traffic signals direct traffic flow from two different directions. The second study used an experimental or focus-group-based approach to study consumer acceptance as well as effectiveness. Unbelted occupants are overrepresented in fatal crashes. As it continues with this proceeding, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seeks comment on a variety of issues related to a requirement for a rear seat belt warning system, including potential requirements for such systems, the vehicles to which they should apply, their effectiveness, the likely consumer acceptance, and the associated costs and benefits. The current driver's seat belt visual warning is required to last at least 60 seconds under the second compliance option. regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Department of Transportation (DOT). NHTSA surveyed (by telephone) drivers of vehicles with and without a rear seat belt warning system. (D) in which the soil is relatively deficient in mineral nutrients. Obstruction of vehicle windows.

Washington, DC: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, [Found in the docket for this ANPRM.]. Rear seats are used in ways that complicate occupant detection. MAP-21 requires the Secretary to initiate a rulemaking proceeding to amend FMVSS No. See Figure 1. Are there new and innovative wireless technologies that could reduce or eliminate wiring complexities, such as those used in tire pressure monitoring systems? Your driving privilege will be canceled if you fail to comply with some portion of the Florida Statutes. Manufacturers would Start Printed Page 51089also have to determine whether driver and rear passenger seat belt warning visual signals would be treated the same. should verify the contents of the documents against a final, official Further, in accordance with DOT Order 2100.6, NHTSA has determined that this rulemaking, should it lead to a mandate of rear seat belt systems, would qualify as an economically significant rule, as it would likely impose a total annual cost greater than $100 million; accordingly, NHTSA is using this ANPRM to solicit public feedback before proceeding with a proposed rule. Enhanced warning systems utilize warnings that are relatively longer-lasting or have an audible component beyond the minimum FMVSS No. 0000042348 00000 n In order to perform compliance testing on a rear seat belt warning system that uses occupant detection, should NHTSA use one or more of these dummies, or specify occupancy conditions based on one of these dummies? For example, NHTSA could specify use of the 6-year-old test dummy. 0000003534 00000 n 04/28/2023, 153 What should the minimum duration of a visual warning be? 0000042748 00000 n 0000012756 00000 n FALSE The petitioners noted that primary enforcement laws typically do not cover rear seat occupants and asserted that studies have proven that warnings for rear seat belts significantly increase rear passenger seat belt use. Thoracolumbar junction injuries after rollover crashes: difference The responsibility for promulgation of Federal motor vehicle safety standards is delegated to NHTSA.[56]. The city of Provo in Utah, tats-Unis, has 44 public charging station ports (Level 2 and Level 3) within 15km. Developing appropriate attitudes depends on recognizing that attitudes are: Approximately 100,000 police-reported crashes annually involve drowsiness and fatigue as a principal casual factor. ECE Regulation No. With respect to potential requirements for a visual rear seat belt warning, NHTSA seeks comment on the following: 13. Triggering conditions. See infra, Part V. 46. Jaguar Land Rover first introduced rear seat belt warning systems in the MY 2010 Jaguar XJ, and since then has equipped four additional vehicles models with such systems (Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Discovery Sport). ECE Regulation No. Should it also depend on the recipient of the warning (for example, driver versus rear passenger)? 6. See S571.3. DOT HS 812 369. IIHS reported that enhanced SBRSs are standard equipment for the driver and front passenger in 90 and 78 percent, respectively, of the 2013 vehicle models. Seat belt warnings for front outboard passenger seats (which are not required by FMVSS No. Making the system resistant to intentional and inadvertent defeat. 24. WebAir Bags Lives Saved Occupant Protection Vehicles can be equipped with both front and side air bags (SABs). 2. If an audible warning requirement were adopted for the change-of-status warning, what should the minimum duration of an audible warning be? Since seat belt warning systems are generally initiated at the beginning of a trip (i.e., when the ignition switch is moved to the on or start position) so as to assure that occupants are safely restrained prior to any potential vehicle crash, this is perhaps the most intuitive approach for rear seat belt warnings as well. These challenges may be greater or lesser depending on the rear seat configuration of the vehicle. Next, for the type(s) of occupants upon which the criteria are based, what should the criteria be? 0000116003 00000 n Should NHTSA consider the same seat occupancy criteria specified in FMVSS No. Calculated from Boyle & Lampkin, supra, p. 11 (Fig. Would the warning be distinguishable from other alerts that are provided to the driver? 0000113571 00000 n Lives Saved Calculations for Seat Belts and Frontal Air Bags.

Michigan No-Fault Parked Vehicle Exception: What You Need To Public Law 109-59, 10306 (2005). The study found, among other things, that 81 percent of drivers of vehicles with a rear seat belt warning were very satisfied with the system warning at the beginning of a trip; less than 2 percent were dissatisfied. See, e.g., Transportation Research Board Study, p. 25; DOT 2009 Belt Warning Study, p. 2. 13. 0000013080 00000 n Petitioners asserted that rear seat belt warnings would save hundreds of lives each year and that a large percentage of the lives saved would be children. so we are aware there are a number of ways in which a rear seat belt warning system might be intentionally defeated, as well as potential countermeasures. 16. 2. __________ is a type of drug that temporarily stimulates some vital process or organ in the body. NHTSA's research suggests that audible warnings in conjunction with visual warnings are generally more effective than text or icons alone, but are also more intrusive. It also includes an audiovisual change-in-status warning. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act of 2012 (MAP-21) directs the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to initiate a rulemaking proceeding to amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. The guidelines could identify best practices for manufacturers who wish to equip vehicles with a rear seat belt warning system. FMVSS No. NHTSA also seeks comment on proposing multiple compliance options for the warning system requirements. If commenters believe that a proposed seat belt warning system would not meet the requirements and considerations of 49 U.S.C. Unbelted vehicle occupants reach 0 mph by striking the windshield, steering column and dashboard. Modern vehicles are designed to crush when they crash to absorb kinetic energy. Even with modern cars that are designed to absorb the energy of impact, a head-on collision may have more energy than the car design can dissipate. The National Child Restraint Use Special Study found that only 13 percent of drivers reported reading the vehicle owner's manual. In this Issue, Documents 30124). 2015. The system can determine whether any seats are occupied by an unbelted occupant, as opposed to simply notifying the driver which or how many belts, if any, are fastened. 9.
