项目摘要

Securement of wheelchairs and other wheeled mobility devices (WMDs) on buses presents safety and human factors problems. Many wheelchairs cannot resist the loads of current securing systems during unusual events. Also, many wheelchairs are not secured properly because securement is difficult. Development of an energy-absorbing and load-limiting strapping system is proposed to reduce the risk of injury. Also, attachment tools will be developed to provide easy use. Although universal attachment systems are under development,, they do not work well with existing buses or WMDs. The overall purpose of this program is to improve the functionality of scrapping systems in such a way that current systems can be retrofit and load-limiting easily implemented in new buses. The system will be effective for WMDs transported today. The feasibility of the design will be evaluated in this Phase I proposal. Load-limiting belts will be fabricated and tested to demonstrate our ability to reliably design a load-limiting system. Improved methods of attaching and releasing strapping systems will be developed. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: This system will meet all FMVSS and ADA requirements and help reduce the possible injury of people with disabilities when riding public transportation. This load-limiting belt design is adaptable to occupant restraint belts for all vehicles.

轮椅和其他轮式移动设备(WMD)在公交车上的固定存在安全和人为因素问题。在异常情况下，许多轮椅无法抵抗当前安全系统的负荷。此外，许多轮椅没有妥善固定，因为固定很困难。建议开发一种能量吸收和负载限制捆绑系统，以降低受伤风险。此外，还将开发附件工具，以提供方便使用。尽管通用附件系统正在开发中，但它们与现有的公交车或大规模杀伤性武器不能很好地配合。该计划的总体目的是改进报废系统的功能，以便现有系统可以在新的公交车上轻松实施改装和负荷限制。该系统将对今天运输的大规模杀伤性武器有效。设计的可行性将在这份第一阶段提案中进行评估。我们将制造和测试限载皮带，以证明我们有能力可靠地设计一个限载系统。将开发改进的捆绑和释放捆绑系统的方法。拟议的商业应用：该系统将满足所有FMVSS和ADA的要求，并有助于减少残疾人在乘坐公共交通工具时可能受到的伤害。这种限载安全带设计适用于所有车辆的乘员安全带。
