Download or read book Use of Rear facing Position for Common Wheelchairs on Transit Buses written by Uwe Rutenberg and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2003 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to transit agency staff and those who work with them in dealing with common wheelchair securement on transit buses. It offers information on existing programs in many countries and documents transit agency experiences for the benefit of others considering similar deployments, in particular with respect to the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and to its use in U.S. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems. The report describes the state of the practice with respect to the use of rearfacing position for accommodating common wheelchairs (as defined by the ADA) on large transit buses (more than 30,000 lb) and identifies pertinent issues related to its transferability to the U.S. context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.

This book was released on 1997 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making urban and intercity buses accessible for passengers using mobility aids (wheelchairs and scooters) has been a long-standing goal in many countries. In Canada, lifts, securement systems, transfer chairs, and accessible on-board washrooms have been developed and have alleviated many accessibility problems. However, one issue that has not been entirely resolved is the securement of personal mobility aids. While the rear-facing protected position for the securement of mobility aids is in operation in many low-floor transit buses in Europe, and in several Canadian cities, the protected position concept has not been tested in an intercity coach. In the protected position arrangement the passenger backs his mobility aid into an area provided with a fixed back and head supporting panel, a horizontal handrail on the bus wall, and an arm or stanchion on the aisle side to prevent the mobility aid from moving into the aisle The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and comfort of a protected position for an occupied mobility aid on an intercity bus. The specific objectives were to determine the g forces exerted on the mobility aid occupant during severe acceleration, deceleration and sharp lane change manoeuvres; and to observe and record the human factors aspects during a regular intercity bus trip. The results of the tests indicate that passengers who were transported in a rear-facing protected position in an intercity coach, were safe, secure, and comfortable during the test journeys. Modifications to the protected position system are suggested, and recommendations are made for implementation of the system.
