This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SAE Recommended Practice applies to WTORS comprised of a system or device for wheelchair tiedown and a system or device for restraining the wheelchair-seated occupant. It specifies design requirements, test methods, and performance requirements for WTORS, requirements for manufacturer's instructions to installers and users, and requirements for product marking and labeling. This document places particular emphasis on design requirements, test procedures, and performance requirements for the dynamic performance of WTORS in a 48-km/h, 20-g frontal impact. It also specifies test procedures and performance requirements for webbing slippage at adjustment devices of strap-type wheelchair tiedowns, and for partial but ineffective engagement of wheelchair tiedowns, and tiedown components that could be perceived to be effectively engaged. Appendix F includes additional recommendations for WTORS that will enhance the design, performance, installation, and use of WTORS, but which are not, at this time, required for compliance with this document.The contents of this document apply to WTORS used with forward-facing wheelchair-seated children and adults, and apply to passengers and drivers of personally licensed motor vehicles as well as to passengers of motor vehicles used in public and school transportation. While much of the focus of this document is on WTORS that use four-point wheelchair tiedown systems, unless otherwise specified, the provisions of this document are applicable to all types of WTORS, including those that use docking-type wheelchair tiedowns.While the primary focus of this document is a WTORS that is packaged by the manufacturer as a complete system or kit, it is recognized that a significant portion of the WTORS market consists of separate WTORS components and subassemblies, such as anchorage track that is sold to the bus manufacturer, or securement and restraint assemblies that are sold to the transit provider. Manufacturers of such WTORS components and subassemblies may certify their equipment as being in compliance with this document provided that: aThe subassemblies and components intended to be used together to create a WTORS meet all the appropriate requirements of this document, and bThe separately sold components and subassemblies are provided with instructions in accordance with 5.5, where the word "compatible" means tested together to comply with this document.

Download or read book Consequences of Four point Strap type Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint System Practices on Wheelchair Passenger Safety in Fixed route Transit written by Zdravko Salipur and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many wheelchair users rely upon fixed route public transportation using large accessible transit vehicles (LATVs) for independent transportation to and from work, healthcare appointments and leisure activities. A substantial number of these wheelchair users may not be able to transfer from their wheelchair to a motor vehicle seat during transit. It is necessary to afford these wheelchair users the same level of safety as occupants seated in motor vehicle seats. Therefore, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that LATVs be equipped with wheelchair securement and occupant restraint systems (WTORS). The four-point tiedowns and occupant restraints are the primary means of WTORS on LATVs. Recent research has shown extremely high disuse and misuse rates for this wheelchair and tiedown occupant restraint system (WTORS). However, to-date, no studies have investigated the underlying causes of WTORS disuse and misuse. Perhaps more importantly, the consequences of WTORS misuse and disuse for wheelchair passengers aboard LATVs have not been determined. This study had three major phases aimed at describing consequences of WTORS misuse and disuse for wheelchair passengers on LATVs: I) A case series of adverse events involving wheelchair seated passengers on LATVs, II) Driving experiments using a wheelchair seated anthropomorphic testing device onboard a LATV, III) Development, validation and verification of a computer simulation of a wheelchair passenger onboard a LATV. This study revealed that the vast majority of wheelchair related instabilities are associated with minor wheelchair excursions. We also found when WTORS are properly used, the wheelchair passenger does not appear to be at increased risk of injury, while WTORS disuse and misuse are associated with a high frequency of wheelchair passenger ejection from the wheelchair, especially during an emergency braking maneuver. We found that a manual wheelchair brake can play a major role in limiting wheelchair excursions when WTORS are not properly used and that lateral wheelchair excursions can be limited by the folded-seat side barrier under the window.
