Wheelchair Restraint System Being Tested at Wayne State
Wayne State University researchers test a Wheelchair Restraint System on campus minibuses to protect occupants in front end crashes up to 30 mph. Project Director David Orne notes the field is undeveloped and the design could adapt to mass transit buses, trains, and subways, with costs potentially high but functional and esthetically integrated. The system uses a rear-facing padded couch, three-point belt, and a cable to anchor a wheelchair to the base, offering rollover protection and improved restraint compared with existing devices.
