| 摘要： | Safety belts are the single most effective injury prevention component of highway vehicles today. In 2006, observational studies reported that safety belt use by drivers of Class 7 and 8 trucks was 59 percent compared with an 81 percent belt use rate for passenger vehicle drivers. This study explored addresses two topics of research. The first topic explored technologies designed to increase safety belt use by commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. Four promising technologies likely to increase safety belt use were identified: (1) Enhanced Audible Reminder Systems, (2) Brightly Colored Safety Belts, (3) Safety Belt Tension Adjustors, and (4) Seat-Integrated Safety Restraint Systems. A cost-benefit analysis was performed, indicating that brightly colored safety belts and enhanced audible reminders are both cost-beneficial solutions, suggesting that the likely injury cost savings due to increased safety belt use will exceed the cost required to equip one vehicle with the device. |
