Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety belt use data were first collected in Virginia in 1974. Early data (1974-77 and 1983-86) were collected from only the four metropolitan areas (Northern Virginia, Tidewater, Richmond, and Roanoke) of the state. Between 1987 and 1992, data were also collected in nine communities with a population under 15,000. In 1991 and 1992, data were collected in four communities with a population between 50,000 and 100,000. It was only with the initiation of this project in 1992 that the state had a true statewide survey. This report describes the methodology used for site selection and data collection and adds the results of the 2002 survey to those of the previous years. It should be noted that the dates of the 2002 survey were different than those of previous surveys. From 1992 to 2001, surveys began the last Thursday in May and generally ended the second week in July, depending on the number of sites "rained out" and rescheduled. This year, at the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the survey was begun the fourth week of April so that the results would be available before the end of June. Thus, differences between use rates in 2002 and other years may be attributable to seasonal differences in travel patterns and restraint/helmet use, rather than solely to changes in driver and occupant behavior. The results show that Virginia's 2002 safety belt use rate was 70.4% and its motorcycle helmet use rate was 100%. In each of the 10 years of the survey, virtually all of the motorcycle drivers and passengers were using a helmet. For the passenger car drivers and right-front passengers in the 10 years of the study, use rates varied from a low of 67.1% in 1997 to a high of 73.6% in 1998. The 2002 use rate of 70.4% is a decrease from the 72.3% use rate in 2001.

It was only with the initiation of this project in 1992 that the state had a true statewide survey. This report describes the methodology used for site selection and data collection and adds the results of the December 2002 survey to those conducted previously. It should be noted that the dates for the summer 2002 survey and the December 2002 survey differed from those of previous surveys. From 1992 to 2001, summer surveys had begun the last Thursday in May and generally ended the second week in July, depending on the number of sites rained out. In 2002, at the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the summer survey was begun the fourth week of April so that the results would be available before the end of June. The December 2002 survey was conducted beginning December 2 and ending December 18, with rescheduling of rained out sites during the week ending December 23. Since the winter survey was conducted during a time period when days were very short and during which daylight saving time was not in effect, some of the later sites could not be surveyed because of darkness. New times were randomly selected for these sites during daylight hours. Thus, differences between use rates in 2002 and in other years may be attributable to seasonal differences in travel patterns and restraint/helmet use, rather than solely to changes in driver and occupant behavior. The results show that Virginia's December 2002 safety belt use rate was 71.1% and its motorcycle helmet use rate was 95.7%. In each of the 10 years of the survey, virtually all of the motorcycle drivers and passengers observed were using a helmet. For the passenger car drivers and right-front passengers observed in the 11 years of the study, use rates varied from a low of 67.1% in 1997 to a high of 73.6% in 1998. The December 2002 use rate of 71.1% is a slight increase from the 70.4% use rate in the summer of 2002.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virginia Transportation Research Council has been collecting safety belt use data in Virginia since 1974. Beginning in 1992, the data gathering methodology was changed to a statistically valid probability-based sampling plan in accordance with federal guidelines. The methods and procedures that qualified Virginia for incentive fund consideration from 1992 through 2003 were used in all 11 official summer surveys as well as the two winter surveys. The results show that Virginia's December 2003 safety belt use rate was 73.1% and its motorcycle helmet use rate was 100%. For drivers and right-front passengers in the most recent 11 years of this survey, use rates varied from a low of 67.1% in 1997 to a high of 74.6% in summer 2003. The December use rate of 73.1% represents a decrease from the summer 2003 use rate and an increase from the December 2002 use rate of 71.1%. However, because of the change in survey dates, modification of times necessitated during the winter survey, the addition of new sites, and reexamined population figures, longitudinal comparisons between use rates in 2002 and 2003 and use rates in other years should be interpreted with caution. Any differences between annual use rates might be attributable to seasonal differences in travel patterns and restraint/helmet use rather than solely to changes in driver and occupant behavior.

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.

Book excerpt: This report presents results on the demographics of safety belt use from the 2003 National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS), with particular emphasis on results that evaluate aspects of the 2003 Click It or Ticket campaign to raise safety belt use nationwide. NOPUS provides the only probability-based observational results on belt use on the road in the United States, and is conducted annually by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The principal findings of the 2003 survey include that safety belt use increased substantially among those the advertising component of the 2003 campaign sought to reach, namely, males ranging between young adults and adults. The 2003 NOPUS also found increased use in urban and suburban areas, and among females in the same young-adult-to-adult age range. The latter may be because females were similarly affected by the advertising, or because they might be substantially influenced by the other major component of the 2003 campaign, highly visible enforcement activities conducted by police.
