Information of this sort is already required by FMVSS No. 0000003404 00000 n Euro New Car Assessment Program (NCAP)[2] See also Buckling Up: Technologies to Increase Seat Belt Use. It recommended that rear seat belt warning systems be developed and that NHTSA undertake a broad, multi-year program of research on the effectiveness and acceptability of different seat belt warning systems to establish a basis for future regulation. With a positive-only system, the driver would need to determine how many rear seat occupants there are and then determine if that number equals the number of seat belts that are reported by the warning system as buckled. The first is a large-sample national observational study on the effectiveness of front seat belt warnings. Section 31503 of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) (Pub.
