TY - JOUR T1 - 23 years of toxicology testing fatally injured pilots: Implications for aviation and other modes of transportation. AN - 1774160310; 26928292 AB - UNLABELLEDUse of over-the-counter, prescription, and illicit drugs is increasing in the United States (US). Many of these drugs are psychoactive and can affect the user's ability to safely operate a vehicle. However, data about drug use by vehicle operators is typically limited to a small proportion of operators and a short list of drugs. For instance, required testing for commercial vehicle operators following most accidents is limited to a urine test for 11 drugs. By comparison, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), routinely tests fatally injured pilots' blood and tissues for hundreds of compounds. This study used the results from these tests to assess drug use in aviation.METHODSUsing matched data from the FAA's Civil Aerospace Medical Institute toxicology database and the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB's) aviation accident database, this study examined trends in the prevalence of over-the-counter, prescription, and illicit drugs identified in toxicology tests of fatally injured pilots between 1990 and 2012. Cases that failed to match or where toxicology testing had not been performed were excluded. Pilots identified by the NTSB investigation as being the "flying pilot" at the time of the accident and results from blood or tissues were included. Toxicology results for ethanol and other alcohols were not included. Positive test results were categorized by drug type and potential for causing impairment. Analysis used SPSS Version 19.1 to perform linear by linear chi-squared statistics.RESULTSThe study included 6677 pilots or 87% of the eligible subjects. The large majority were male (98%) and flying general aviation operations (96%) at the time of their fatal accident. There were increasing trends in pilots' use of all drugs, potentially impairing drugs, drugs used to treat potentially impairing conditions, drugs designated as controlled substances, and illicit drugs. The most common potentially impairing drug pilots had used was diphenhydramine, a sedating antihistamine that is an active ingredient in many over-the-counter allergy formulations, cold medicines, and sleep aids in the US. Although evidence of illicit drug use was found only in a small number of cases, the percentage of pilots testing positive for marijuana use increased during the study period, mostly in the last 10 years.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) routinely conducts extensive post-accident toxicology testing on fatally injured pilots. FAA toxicology test results were matched to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) aviation accident database records. The study population consisted of 6,677 fatally injured accident pilots, involved in 6,597 accidents with NTSB accident investigation data and FAA toxicology test results. Study results showed increasing trends in accident pilot drug use, including potentially impairing drugs, drugs used to treat potentially impairing conditions, controlled substances, and illicit drugs. The most common potentially impairing drug was the sedating antihistamine diphenhydramine, found in more than 7% of study pilots from 2008-2012.

At that time, there were three separate classes of medical certification: transport pilots, industrial pilots, and private pilots. Waivers could be granted, particularly to experienced pilots. The basic concept was and remains that individuals with certain medical conditions or using certain medications are at higher risk of acute incapacitation or impaired performance such as poor judgment or slowed response times and therefore are at higher risk of an accident. Since then, modern medicine has evolved significantly but the issues remain the same. RESULTS: Specific accidents involving pilots legally flying without medical certificates will be presented. In addition, results from the NTSB's safety study, Drug Trends in Aviation will be included. In this study, the NTSB noted that fatally injured pilots without current medical certification were more likely to have post mortem toxicology testing, revealing their use of potentially impairing drugs and drugs indicating a potentially impairing condition than those with medical certification; rates were highest among pilots with only a sport pilot certificate. DISCUSSION: These results suggest a potential benefit to flight safety related to medical certification. However, the exact safety effects of holding a current medical aeromedical certification have not been adequately studied. The NTSB has recently recommended several further research efforts be undertaken. The need for these studies and further general research on medications and impairment to better inform medical decision making across transportation modes will be outlined.

The prevalence of fatigue in major NTSB accident investigations between 2001 and 2012 was analyzed. All NTSB fatigue-related safety recommendations were reviewed and assigned into one of seven different subject categories. The organizations receiving the recommendation and status were also reviewed. Of the 61 major aviation accident investigations during the study period, fatigue was identified in 14 (23%). The first NTSB fatigue recommendation was issued in 1972; since then 51 aviation fatigue recommendations have been issued.The recommendations were divided into the following subject categories: (1) scheduling policies and practices; (2) education/raising awareness; (3) organizational strategies; (4) medical issues; (5) vehicle and environmental; (6) research and evaluation; and (7) fatigue management plans. Scheduling policies and practices accounted for 55% of the recommendations while education/raise awareness and medical issues each represented 13.7%.

This lack of information is due to the fact that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) did not always collect detailed data about passengers involved in accidents. Methods: Consequently, in 2011, NTSB investigators collected detailed information on children involved in general aviation accidents and this report provides a summary of the outcomes. Results: During 2011, 19 general aviation accidents and incidents included 39 children who were 14 yr old and younger. In total, 26 children sustained fatal injuries, 2 sustained serious injuries, 5 sustained minor injuries, and 6 sustained no injuries. All of the children less than 2 yr old were restrained in a child restraint system and sustained no injuries in the accidents. Discussion: At least one 4-yr-old child would have benefited from being restrained in a child restraint system. In addition, in two accidents, it was determined that children were likely sharing a single seat belt. This year-long data collection regarding children involved in general aviation accidents provided substantial information concerning age, restraint status, and injuries. In response to issues identified, the NTSB made improvements to its aviation data management system to routinely collect this information for future investigations and enable subsequent evaluation of the data regarding child passengers involved in general aviation accidents over the long term.

Team Cultural Differences and Sociotechnical System Operations AN - 759315920; 13722025 AB - OBJECTIVE: I discuss cultural factors and how they may influence sociotechnical system operations. Background: Investigations of several major transportation accidents suggest that cultural factors may have played a role in the causes of the accidents. However, research has not fully addressed how cultural factors can influence sociotechnical systems. METHOD: I review literature on cultural differences in general and cultural factors in sociotechnical systems and discuss how these differences can affect team performance in sociotechnical systems. Results: Cultural differences have been observed in social and interpersonal dimensions and in cognitive and perceptual styles; these differences can affect multioperator team performance. CONCLUSION: Cultural factors may account for team errors in sociotechnical systems, most likely during high-workload, high-stress operational phases. However, much of the research on cultural factors has methodological and interpretive shortcomings that limit their applicability to sociotechnical systems. APPLICATION: Although some research has been conducted on the role of cultural differences on team performance in sociotechnical system operations, considerable work remains to be done before the effects of these differences can be fully understood. I propose a model that illustrates how culture can interact with sociotechnical system operations and suggest avenues of future research. Given methodological challenges in measuring cultural differences and team performance in sociotechnical system operations, research in these systems should use a variety of methodologies to better understand how culture can affect multioperator team performance in these systems.

The NTSB is an independent agency charged with determining the probable cause of transportation accidents and promoting transportation safety. The Board investigates accidents, conducts safety studies, evaluates the effectiveness of other government agencies' programs for preventing transportation accidents, and reviews appeals of enforcement actions involving airman and seaman certificates issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the U.S. Coast Guard and civil penalties actions taken by the FAA.

For the past several years the Safety Board has been involved in the investigation of fuel tank explosions and has been advocating the use of fuel tank inerting technologies. From recent investigations of in-flight fires, issues relating to fire detection and suppression in cargo aircraft are being addressed, in addition to flight crew response to hidden fires. A relatively new issue that has been identified is the rise in fire incidents involving high energy density batteries in carry on portable electronic devices. An overview of these topics will be presented, highlighting our safety recommendations in each of these areas.

Interstate commerce is subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and the Hazardous Material Regulations (HMRs) as well as to State laws and regulations. Intrastate commerce is subject to the FMCSRs that have been adopted by the States or to State laws that are "compatible" with the FMCSRs; that is, State laws that are identical to or have the same effect as the FMCSRs. States adopt the FMCSRs as a condition of receiving financial assistance from the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. A limited number of variances related to safety are permitted for drivers and vehicles operating in intrastate commerce; these include a lower driver age, relaxed medical qualifications, expanded hours of service, exemption of specific commodities from some safety regulations, and exemption of some vehicles from vehicle safety regulations. Data from the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS), Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents (TIFA), and U.S. roadside inspections were analyzed to describe the general characteristics of intrastate motor carriers, to identify intrastate carrier accident characteristics, and to compare these characteristics with accidents involving interstate carriers. This information was supplemented by a National Transportation Safety Board-administered survey distributed to intrastate motor carriers. The report focuses only on nonhazardous material carriers operating trucks. The data indicate that intrastate carriers and interstate carriers share many similarities in terms of operating characteristics and characteristics of their accident-involved trucks and drivers. Most of the differences in the characteristics of accident-involved trucks of intrastate and interstate carriers appear to reflect differences in operational factors, such as size of fleet, operating hours, and types of cargo hauled.

According to recent Federal Aviation Administration forecasts, this growth is expected to continue, approaching 1 billion enplanements by the year 2010 (an additional 53-percent increase). Despite the growing demands on the U.S. aviation system, the system continues to maintain its high level of safety. The accident rate for commercial aircraft has remained about the same for the past two decades. If the accident rate continues, however, increased traffic projected over the next 10 years will be accompanied by a commensurate increase in the number of aircraft accidents. To prevent this from occurring, Government agencies are working with industry to reduce the rate of accidents. There are two ways to prevent fatalities in air travel: by preventing accidents, and by protecting aircraft occupants in the accidents that do occur. A reduction in accident rates provides an indication of the success of accident prevention; examining occupant survivability can indicate the positive results from occupant protection. The importance of examining occupant survivability in aviation accidents is twofold: (1) it can help to dispel a public perception that most air carrier accidents are not survivable, and (2) it can identify things that can be done to increase survivability in the accidents that do occur.

For this study, the Safety Board investigated 60 grade crossing accidents that occurred between December 1995 and August 1996. The Safety Board selected for study accident involving a collision between a train and a highway vehicle occurring at a passive grade crossing, wherein the highway vehicle was sufficiently damaged to require towing.

All six crewmembers abandoned the Scandia amid 10-foot waves and 25-knot winds; however, no one was injured. The crew was unsuccessful in its attempts to release the anchor of the barge, which ran aground and spilled 828,000 gallons of home heating oil, causing the largest pollution incident in Rhode Island's history, an incident that led to the closing of local fisheries. The safety issues discussed in this report are the origin of the fire, the company management's oversight of vessel maintenance risk assessment of oil transportation by towed barges, search and rescue, and environmental pollution and cleanup.

Although the overall number of recreational boating fatalities has been declining in recent years, the number of personal watercraft-related fatalities has been increasing. PWC are the only type of recreational vessel for which the leading cause of fatalities is not drowning; in PWC fatalities, more persons die from blunt force trauma than from drowning. The National Transportation Safety Board initiated this study to more closely examine fatalities and injury in addition to accident characteristics associated PWC accidents. The Safety Board analyzed 814 (one-third) of the 1997 reported accidents and examined all of the data for the 1996 reported accidents, which the Board believes provided a substantial number of accidents to identify the most important safety issues associated with PWC accidents. The safety issues discussed in the report include (1) protecting PWC riders from injury; (2) PWC operator experience and training; and (3) boating safety standards. The study also addressed the need for recreational boating exposure data.

The safety belt is effective, however, only if it is consistently used. Despite its clear safety benefits, many people still do not use the safety belt. As part of a national program to reduce motor vehicle fatalities and injuries, in the late 1970s numerous states began writing legislation to mandate statewide safety belt use. Since the first safety belt law was passed in 1984 (New York), 49 states and the District of Columbia have passed similar laws (New Hampshire does not legislate belt use). In general, these laws have produced a dramatic increase in belt use immediately following implementation, followed by a subsequent decline in belt use that is generally above prelaw levels. This was the case in Michigan following implementation of a safety belt law in July 1985.

Following training, 17 male subjects performed three task trials: a difficult trial, with a $50 incentive for successful performance at a very demanding level; an easy trial, with a $2 incentive for successful performance at a simple level; and a baseline trial, in which there was physiological monitoring but no tracking performance. Subjects counted aloud during the trials. It was found that heart rate, speaking fundamental frequency (pitch), and vocal intensity (loudness) increased significantly with workload demands. Speaking rate showed a marginal increase, while vocal jitter and vocal shimmer did not show reliable changes. A derived speech measure, which statistically combined information from all other speech measures except shimmer, was also evaluated. It increased significantly with workload demands and was surprisingly robust in showing differences for individual subjects. It appears that speech analysis can provide practical workload information.

AN - 62876014; ED356443 AB - This report focuses on teenage drivers and drinking. The first topic discussed is youth accident experience. Vignettes of accidents are given, as well as national statistics on deaths involving teenage drivers. The next topic discussed is youth alcohol consumption. Statistics on percentage of youth who report using alcohol; comparison of percentage of young drivers to licensed drivers involved in driver fatalities; and number of crashes for first-year drivers. The third topic is policy and legislative approaches. Two general types of legal and policy approaches that can be taken to reduce traffic crashes among youth are discussed: those designed to reduce youth access and those designed to reduce driving by youth or to restrict the circumstances under which they drive. A chart is included which lists the states and categorizes their laws on sale, attempting to purchase alcohol, purchasing age, possession age, consumption age, misrepresenting age, and fake identification. Next underage alcohol enforcement is discussed. Sting operations and research on alcohol purchase attempts by minors are discussed. Young driver restrictions are discussed, including lower blood alcohol content limits for young drivers; enforcement of driving while intoxicated laws for young drivers; provisional licensing and driving restrictions; and nighttime driving restrictions. Conclusions and nine recommendations are included.

Final report AN - 17056158; 3886769 AB - The study for Congress was required by section 1004 of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90). The study analyzes the relative environmental and operational risks of the four principal modes for waterborne delivery of crude oil to U.S. ports: direct vessel deliveries, lightering, deepwater ports, and offshore mooring stations; detailed descriptions of these modes are presented. The study finds that most spills are non-catastrophic (less than 1,000 barrels), but that all modes are potentially catastrophic under worst-case scenarios. However, the study determined that deepwater ports are the least-risky of the four modes because cargo operations take place well offshore where minor spills may disperse naturally before impinging upon sensitive ecosystems. Furthermore, seafloor pipeline transfer of oil does not expose it to the same risks encountered by surface ships (adverse weather, fire, collisions, groundings, etc.). The study also includes 1986-1990 crude oil casualty and import data for Gulf coast ports.

AN - 72164332; 1930083 AB - As part of its investigation of the EXXON VALDEZ tankship accident and oil spill, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) examined the master's speech for alcohol-related effects. Recorded speech samples were obtained from marine radio communications tapes. The samples were tested for four effects associated with alcohol consumption is available scientific literature: slowed speech, speech errors, misarticulation of difficult sounds ("slurring"), and audible changes in speech quality. It was found that speech immediately before and after the accident displayed large changes of the sort associated with alcohol consumption. These changes were not readily explained by fatigue, psychological stress, drug effects, or medical problems. Speech analysis appears to be a useful technique to provide secondary evidence of alcohol impairment.

AN - 62235985; ED461910 AB - In 1977, a series of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) for school buses became effective, mandating different performance standards for school buses compared to other buses. Because data on the crash performance of school buses built to these standards were lacking, the National Transportation Safety Board conducted a series of in-depth accident investigations from 1984 to 1988. The study sought to determine how well federal school bus standards were working to protect passengers from injury and whether changes in the standards were needed. This paper reports on the crash performance of small poststandard (manufactured after April 1, 1977) school buses and vans used for school transportation. Occupants of the small school buses generally fared well in the accidents investigated. As a result of this safety study, recommendations were issued to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, manufacturers of small school buses, and various associations of school-transportation officials and contractors. The recommendations include: conduct research on the design of restraining barriers; determine the feasibility of requiring lap/shoulder belts or other restraints with uppertorso support for passengers; collect data on roof and joint strength; amend federal performance standards for school bus windshield retention; develop performance standards for boarding door controls in certain small buses; and correct improper installation and use of lapbelts and other restraints. Appendices contain case summaries and indexes of cases, bus-design information, data on injuries and accidents, and a list of FMVS standards mentioned in the recommendations.

AN - 79329295; 2818387 AB - Traditionally, carboxyhemoglobin analysis has been used to determine the extent of respiration during a postcrash fire. This is a useful and informative measurement, but advances in the chemical analysis of soot samples provide a new and useful forensic tool for the investigation of deaths by fire. One of the latest analytical techniques is a computer-interfaced pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Soot consists of a high percentage of carbon as well as fragments of the original polymer that are unique to that particular material. Consequently, analysis and identification of the fragment pattern makes it possible to identify the original material from which the soot was generated. In pyrolysis mass spectrometry the soot is pyrolyzed into the ion source and the resulting ion pattern is computer analyzed to identify the polymeric system or systems that generated the soot. Analysis of soot samples collected from the upper respiratory tract of aircraft accident victims and from the accident scene can provide information on the type of toxic insult (identifies specific toxic products), the material(s) that burned and generated the toxic atmosphere, and the relative time of survival following the crash. This technique has been applied to the investigation of fire deaths in a hotel fire and will be used to illustrate the identification of the materials that burned, the toxic products, and the potential for aircraft accident investigations.

A crewmember then notified the captain that the after deck was under water. The captain ordered the deckhand to tell the crew to don exposure suits, and the mate on watch sent a distress message to the U.S. Coast Guard. The captain attempted to pump one or more compartments, but the vessel continued to sink by the stern, and the captain recognized that the vessel could not be saved. After the crew had donned their exposure suits, they entered the water. The captain's wife took the vessel's class B emergency-position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) with her into the water. The vessel sank stern first about 1/2 hour after the crew entered the water. Alerted by the distress message, a Coast Guard C-130 airplane arrived at the search area, located the source of the EPIRB signal, and dropped flares to mark the location of the signal.

AN - 63018527; ED318105 AB - This study reports on the crash performance of large poststandard school buses (school buses manufactured after April 1, 1977, and weighing more than 10,000 pounds unloaded) in 43 accidents investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board. The report discusses the Safety Board's findings as to how well the standards are working to protect passengers from injury and whether changes in the standards are needed. The study focuses solely on events during the crash: how well the bus performed; how occupants sustained their injuries, if any; and how serious the injuries were. Each school bus passenger's experience in the crash also was analyzed to determine the difference, if any, lap belt use would have made. The report concludes with recommendations to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, school bus body manufacturers, and state directors of pupil transportation. Almost two-thirds of the document is devoted to appendices that provide additional data for the analysis.

AN - 14478914; 1384467 AB - About 10:30 a.m. on July 23, 1985, in a rural area about 8 miles south of Kaycee, Wyoming, a girth weld cracked during a pipeline recoating project on a 23-year-old, 8-inch-diameter pipeline owned by the Continental Pipe Line Company. The cracked girth weld allowed the release, atomization, and ignition of aircraft turbine fuel under 430 pounds pressure, killing one person, burning six persons, destroying construction equipment, and shutting down the pipeline. Damage was estimated at more than $128,000. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the rupture was the failure by Continental Pipe Line Company to identify the substandard girth weld when the pipeline was constructed in 1963 and again when the girth weld was exposed during the recoating project in 1985. Contributing to the accident was the failure by the company to develop written instructions or guidelines for recoating projects and to select and train its inspectors and contract employees specifically concerning the inherent hazardous condition involved in raising and recoating operating pipelines under pressure.

AN - 63226069; ED278920 AB - The National Transportation Safety Board conducted a 2-day public forum (March 11 and 12, 1985) on alcohol and drug safety education to examine school and community programs designed to prevent alcohol and other drug abuse, discuss the major issues surrounding alcohol and drug abuse prevention, and develop recommendations to governmental and private agencies to improve alcohol and drug abuse prevention programs. Education and safety experts and representatives from citizen and parent groups participated in the forum. The testimony and discussion over the course of the forum resulted in the emergence of five general issues: (1) the educational messages; (2) who should deliver the messages; (3) what is a comprehensive or model program; (4) program costs and resources; and (5) the role of the federal government. This report summarizes the major points raised by forum participants in each of the five areas. A summary, a list of 22 conclusions, and Safety Board recommendations to the U.S. Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Transportation to improve the state of alcohol safety education in the United States are included. Seven appendices are given.

Regina , a Panamanian-flag 330-foot, 3,658-gross-ton passenger car-ferry ran aground on the southeast coast of Mona Island, Puerto Rico, at 0020 on February 15, 1985, while en route from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, to San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic. After unsuccessful attempts to refloat the A. Regina , the 72 crew-members and 143 passengers were landed by the vessel's lifeboats and liferafts on Monal Island and subsequently flown back to Mayaguez. One crewmember was injured slightly when leaving the vessel. The stranded vessel, valued at $5 million, was considered a total loss. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the grounding of the A. Regina at Mona Island, Puerto Rico, was the failure of the master to monitor the vessel's progress along the charted course line by plotting navigation fixes so as to detect the vessel's set and drift.

AN - 14352518; 1169958 AB - A bus owned and operated by a church accelerated out of control while descending a long steep grade on State Route 155 near Wofford Heights, California. The bus failed to negotiate a curve, left the road, and rolled to the right down a steep 28-foot embankment before coming to rest. Two of the 41 bus occupants were killed, 9 occupants sustained moderate to severe injuries, and 30 occupants received minor injuries. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the failure of the busdriver to appropriately respond to the warning sign and to use the vehicle's transmission and service brakes properly to control the vehicle's speed while descending the steep grade.

AN - 14348114; 1169985 AB - Amtrak train No. 21, with 162 persons aboard, derailed near Woodlawn, Texas, while traveling at 72 mph on the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The train passed over a section of rail that a repair crew had just installed to replace a broken rail. The accident resulted in 4 passenger fatalities and 72 injuries. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was torch-cutting a chrome-vanadium alloy rail in a track curve while making a tempory track repair, precipitating thermal cracks that served as the origin point for a catastrophic rail failure when a high-speed passenger train passed over.

AN - 14412741; 1318186 AB - About 0230 on February 14, 1983, the fishing vessel Altair departed Dutch Harbor, Alaska, for the crab fishing grounds near the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea. About 0330, the helmsman of another fishing vessel en route to Dutch Harbor saw the Altair proceeding on a course toward the Pribilof Islands at about 10 knots. About 0830, the fishing vessel Americus , a sistership to the Altair , departed Dutch Harbor for the same crab fishing grounds. Both the Americus and the Altair were fully loaded with pots. About 1430, the capsized Americus was sighted about 30 nautical miles north of Dutch Harbor. The Altair was never seen again. The Americus ' seven crewmembers and the Altair 's seven crewmembers are missing and presumed dead. The Americus was valued at $3 million and the Altair was valued at $3.2 million. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the capsizing of the Americus was inadequate intact stability caused by improper loading and the addition of trawling gear.

AN - 14209963; 1031923 AB - About 7:40 p.m., central standard time, on December 23, 1983, a southbound activity bus (bus) suddently veered leftward, crossed the centerline of State Route 61, a 2-lane, 2-way highway, and struck head on a northbound tractor cargo tank semitrailer near Devers, Texas. The tractor cargo tank semitrailer penetrated from 5.5 to 6.5 feet into the passenger compartment of the 1970 fomer schoolbus. The busdriver and all 21 passengers aboard were ejected through the front opening created in the collision. The truckdriver, the busdriver, and eight bus passengers were killed. Thirteen other bus passengers were injured. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the loss of control of the activity bus following the deflation and subsequent blowout of the left front tire due to a nail puncture. Contributing to the severity of the injuries was the less rigid construction of the 1970 former schoolbus when compared to schoolbuses built after April 1977 which meet minimum Federal Requirements for crashworthiness and occupant protection.

AN - 63685977; ED182024 AB - This manual presents guidelines for starting and running a child restraint rental program to provide car seats and safety belts. Briefly discussed are reasons for starting a child restraint loan program, how such a program works, and information on similar programs. Issues of staffing, space needs, supplies, and equipment are addressed and step-by-step instructions are presented for choosing what restraints to handle, getting the first group of restraints, deciding on rental fees, selling new restraints, helping others sell or swap restraints, and attracting customers. The typical procedures to follow in loaning a seat are outlined in detail and questions of liability and evaluation are discussed. Appendices, which comprise the bulk of the manual contain: (1) descriptions of some typical programs, (2) a list of safe infant/child restraints, (3) a list of manufacturers of child restraints, (4) an application for Michigan retailer's license, (5) sample rental forms, (6) a sample return reminder letter, (7) a guide for the publicity committee, (8) a sample news release, (9) procedures for observing the use of child restraints and safety belts, and (10) recommended audio-visual and printed materials. Two booklets from the list of 16 educational printed materials available from the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning are included.

A Technical Project. AN - 63524475; ED206089 AB - Control of traffic around school areas is one of the most important factors to be considered when selecting and designing a school site plan. To provide positive safeguards, it is necessary to establish and encourage school administrators to adopt a comprehensive set of guidelines. This booklet is directed to all personnel involved either in designing and operating new school facilities or in renovating and reconstructing existing ones. Topics considered include site selection, on-site safety, off-site safety, and safety on existing school sites. Figures present the minimum turning paths for passenger cars, single trucks, and school buses that should be used when designing curves and turnarounds on internal roadways. Another set of figures depict some "before" and "after" conditions, illustrating how existing school sites may be effectively and economically modified to adapt to changes in school bus zones, parent pick-up zones, parking facilities, pedestrian and bicycle routes, and playground areas. The appendix contains a list of Michigan officials and agencies that might serve as resources.

The study relates entirely to the type of schoolbus that is manufactured by attaching a schoolbus body to a truck chassis. The examples in this study involve different makes and models of schoolbuses. Although there are indications that the problems discussed are widespread, the study has not covered all makes and models of this general type.

Preliminary results from the FMCSA Large Truck Crash Causation Study reveal that the critical reason for crashes is driver-related in more than 90% of the cases. Therefore, future research must provide a greater concentration on the commercial driver to have the most profound impact on the number of crashes. Previous research efforts have used commercial driver traffic conviction data as a data source to identify poor-performing drivers and the carriers that employ them. The research to date in this area and how future research should examine additional ways to create driver-based indicators by using conviction data and other driver-specific data are presented here. Potential data sources are described. Future research should also determine ways to collect and maintain efficiently and effectively data that tracks a driver's performance. If feasible, these data should be shared not only with enforcement agencies but also with potential employers of the drivers. In addition, ideas for using these data and indicators in future enforcement and carrier safety management programs are explored. JF - FUTURE TRUCK AND BUS SAFETY RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES.

In the next 20 years research will produce published scientific evidence that addresses possible interactions among fitness, exercise, and healthy lifestyle and long-term driver health, mortality, fatigue, and driving performance. Such research should generate testable interventions. Research partnerships between federal agencies, academic institutions, and industry stakeholders should address these complex relationships and develop and maintain a knowledge base on truck and bus driver health and wellness. Wellness interventions should be scientifically evaluated and the results made available quickly. In the next 5 years the immediate research goal is to obtain reliable baseline data and understand factors that influence risk. On the basis of current efforts, this goal seems attainable. The overall goal of relevant occupational health and safety research will be to improve and preserve the total health and wellness of employees in the commercial truck and bus industry. Safety and injury prevention and health and wellness all are important aspects of this program.

Empirical evidence supports this perception, and a large number of variables are individually associated with heightened risk. The variables studied include the following: Driver demographics; Driver behavioral history, for example, distress due to marital or financial issues; Driver physical and medical characteristics; Driver performance capabilities, for example, vision and reaction time; Driver personality, for example, aggressiveness; Driver off-duty behaviors; Carrier operation and management practices; Driving actions and behaviors; Vehicle factors; and Driving situational factors. super(1) However, the way these driver characteristics, vehicles, and the environment interact and under what circumstances they contribute to increased risk have not been studied and are not well understood. Furthermore, it is not known whether these characteristics are persistent and enduring traits or are transient. One method for studying these issues is through assessment under naturalistic driving conditions using onboard monitoring (OBSM) devices. JF - FUTURE TRUCK AND BUS SAFETY RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES.

Similarly, a TRB-sponsored synthesis study (Knipling et al. 2004) of individual differences in risk among CMV drivers found that a relatively small percentage of CMV drivers are associated with a significant and inordinate percentage of the overall motor carrier crash risk. The finding of differential crash risk among CMV drivers along many safety-related personal dimensions actually presents a huge opportunity to the trucking industry and government safety officials. If 15% of the drivers represent 50% of the crash risk, efforts directed at those 15% of drivers could yield significant safety benefits. Currently, kernels of knowledge suggest that certain factors are associated with high-risk driving. However, no comprehensive model quantifies the relative weights of individual factors or elucidates how these factors interact with each other. Further, no one study has included all these factors, nor have they been studied under naturalistic driving conditions. It is certainly possible that some unknown determinant is responsible for high-risk driving, and thus a naturalistic driving study seems most appropriate to determine this knowledge. This paper highlights key findings from the Knipling et al. (2004) synthesis report, as well as future research directions to reduce the high-risk driver problem in truck and bus safety and thereby achieve significant reductions in overall fleet and industry crash risk.

It shows clearly why research to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities should be paramount. Achieving the goal is made more difficult by introducing more technologies into the driving environment. Some of the technologies, such as satellite navigation, lane departure warning systems, and infrared night vision, are intended to improve safety; however, there are also many entertainment technologies, such as MP3s and DVD players, bright LCD screens, digital cameras, game controllers, and wireless communications devices and fax machines. Distracting billboards and signage add to the problem. JF - FUTURE TRUCK AND BUS SAFETY RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES.

Although historical crash data were not presented or reviewed at the conference, a brief review of such data may be helpful in setting the context for the discussion summaries that follow. In 2003, medium and heavy trucks and buses represented roughly 4% of the registered vehicles in the United States. Medium and heavy trucks were involved in about 4,700 fatal crashes (9%). At the same time, medium- and heavy-truck-occupant fatalities were underrepresented (2%) relative to their proportion of registered vehicles. These proportions have not changed dramatically for several years (National Safety Council 2004, 100-101). JF - FUTURE TRUCK AND BUS SAFETY RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES.

Although the distinctions were once clear-cut, they have become increasingly blurred as technology continues to facilitate the integration of functions and features. Satellite navigation brings road signs into the vehicle; antilock brakes, intelligent cruise control, radar braking, and the like shift previous driver demands onto vehicle systems. Roadway sensors and cameras enable real-time traffic information to be made available by radio, cell phone, or onboard computer screens. It remains instructive to look at these components separately as contributors to safety, but there is concern that, for all that has been accomplished to bring down the crash and fatality rates in commercial vehicle operations (CVO) over the years, developments are moving in directions that will pose increasing challenges to truck and bus safety in the years ahead.

This scenario will force the adoption of a new paradigm for ensuring proper maintenance, compliance inspections, and confirmatory performance-based measurements for maximizing safe CMV operation. Furthermore, a national or international tracking system will also be required. A system similar to that used in parts of the European Union (EU) will likely be adopted; annual (or more frequent, depending on the cargo transported) mandatory visual inspections are combined with vehicle performance assessments of specific systems, such as brakes and steering. Additional use of electronic data from sensors and onboard self-diagnostics will be used. A single government database, in which vehicle compliance and safety status can be accessed systemwide, will also be in use. In this scenario, the elimination of preventable vehicle defects as contributors to crashes can be approached. An increase of between 60% and 70% in the current number of CMVs is expected over the next 20 years. Clearly, some new form of government and private-sector partnership will need to provide an infrastructure that will ensure and track the proper performance of CMV safety systems, both within fleets and by enforcement agencies.

Although the HTF was initially created to build and support the Interstate system, money from this fund now supports many diverse transportation and transportation-related projects including programs for safety, air quality, and mass transit. The HTF monies are currently separated into two accounts: the Highway Account and the Mass Transit Account. Each year over $35 billion is collected by the fund Though billions are collected from the users of surface transportation through these taxes, there remains a deficiency in funding throughout the NHS for necessary highway maintenance and additional infrastructure. This shortfall has resulted from several complications in highway funding. Central to this is the fact that excise taxes on fuels remain constant and are not adjusted for inflation. With fuels as the central source of funding for the HTF, the annual revenues of this fund have remained relatively constant whereas the costs, because of inflation, have increased. This situation has been exacerbated by recent trends away from low-fuel economy vehicles to hybrid and other fuel-efficient means of transportation. Thus, the funding burden falls to entities outside the HTF, and state governments must provide more revenue toward the total needed for road maintenance and new infrastructure each year. To ease the financial burden of the aforementioned activities, states have indicated an interest in tolling existing Interstates and highways, creating new tolled infrastructure, and increasing current toll rates for both trucks and automobiles.

Important aspects include safety, injury prevention, health, and wellness. The immediate research goal should be to obtain reliable baseline data and to understand factors that influence risk in the next 5 to 10 years. Then, identified and implemented 10-year interventions should be evaluated, and those that are successful should be widely disseminated. In contrast to crash data, data on the health and wellness of truck and bus drivers, and indeed even the general public, are largely lacking. Research should produce published scientific evidence that addresses whether fitness, exercise, and healthy lifestyles affect long-term truck driver health, mortality, fatigue, and driving performance leading to tested interventions.

The characteristics are not conducive to building a culture of safety at the individual or organizational level. Because there is a natural tension between operations and safety, many unfit drivers slip between the cracks. None of this will be resolved until something is done about the pay-by-mile system, which encourages drivers to speed and violate hours-of-service rules.

Although those CMVs will appear to a casual observer to be similar to today's vehicles, they will bear much less resemblance to their forebears. CMV brakes will be lighter and more durable and will require less routine maintenance. CMV tires will be more durable and will be able to better maintain their set target pressures. Research is needed to improve the fundamental design of these components and to simplify and reduce the cost and complexity of communicating useful information from the sensors to the human user. Some CMVs will be equipped with aerodynamic accessories to adjust airflow around the vehicle: their fuel economy will be improved and, when needed, turbulence will increase to reduce stopping distance. Additional research is needed to optimize the design and placement of these devices and to improve their durability and compatibility with existing CMV design, since retrofit applications will be popular. The complexity of electronically controlled engines and drivetrains, brakes, tire pressure management, and driving environment management systems (such as lane keeping and headway management) will likely tax the abilities and availability of skilled technicians. Research is needed to develop methods for rapidly and accurately diagnosing electronic and mechanical malfunctions, for mistakeproofing maintenance and repair procedures, and for confirming the safe status of these technologically advanced CMVs. However, significant issues, such as privacy, must be researched to take full advantage of future onboard diagnostic technologies. JF - FUTURE TRUCK AND BUS SAFETY RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES.

Research is needed to exploit the application of current and future technologies capable of overcoming constraints associated with the continuation of traditional, labor-intensive enforcement methods, methods that significantly limit the spatial and temporal elements of enforcement effectiveness and capacity. Just as FHWA has recognized that it cannot build its way out of the growing congestion problem, neither can motor carrier enforcement hope to become more effective simply by adding more officers. CMV enforcement capabilities need to keep pace with technology-based modes of operation under development by the trucking industry. Commercial vehicle operations will become increasingly information-driven, and enforcement must be able to operate fully within such an information-based environment. More effective and more highly automated information screening methods need to be developed to detect anomalies in driver, vehicle, route, and load information streaming in from thousands of continuously tracked vehicles. It is likely that FMCSA as well as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Homeland Security Department will have to seek such expertise outside the current transportation community (e.g., from within the intelligence sector). Methods need to be developed to enable enforcement to preempt incidents having the potential to harm the public seriously or to cause disruption to critical infrastructure. Shorter incident response times are a necessary but are not a sufficient condition for deterrence. JF - FUTURE TRUCK AND BUS SAFETY RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES.
