Abstract

Investigation of the use of seat belts in intercity buses led to barrier impact tests on an instrumented bus loaded with dummies. Data on forces and accelerations, gained from the test, were used to guide corresponding impact sled tests. These, in turn, led to considerable improvement both in the structure of the seat and in the methods used to attach the seats to the floor and sidewalls of the bus.
