[en] THE REAR CAR SEAT SAFETY BELT: AN ERGONOMIC APPROACH / [pt] CINTO DE SEGURANÇA DO BANCO TRASEIRO DO AUTOMÓVEL: UMA ABORDAGEM ERGONÔMICA

WILSON DE MORAES NOBRE JUNIOR 14 April 2005 (has links)
[pt] Esta dissertação tem como hipótese que as deficiências de projeto do cinto e do habitáculo traseiros dos automóveis de passeio, do ponto de vista ergonômico, causam desconforto e constrangimento no uso ordinário do cinto de segurança, provocando seu uso errado, sua rejeição, e sujeitando os passageiros, em caso de acidentes, a lesões e à morte. Sobre a importância do uso do cinto, especialmente o do banco traseiro, se explica o conceito e a magnitude das forças envolvidas na proteção dos ocupantes de um veículo. Se mostra que a história da legislação do cinto está muito relacionada com a evolução do produto, exceto no Brasil. Faz-se uma análise do ergodesign dos componentes do cinto, seus complementos e suplementos, em particular do ergodesign destes no habitáculo traseiro dos carros mais vendidos. As entrevistas com vítimas de acidentes no banco traseiro, com taxistas e com o bombeiro aposentado serviram de apoio para a confirmação da hipótese. O registro, em vídeo, do comportamento real dos passageiros, em conjunto com as respostas dos questionários aplicados aos mesmos, também ratificaram boa parte dos problemas ergonômicos detectados nesse estudo, cujas principais causas são: ausência de dispositivo emergencial de soltura, ausência do dispositivo retrator, ausência do dispositivo pré- tensionador, falta de mais pontos de ancoragem (fixação) do cinto, e presença do ocupante central. Conclui-se que, para reduzir lesões e mortes dos usuários de automóvel, nos corriqueiros acidentes, é urgente estender as boas soluções de alguns carros a todos os demais e reformular a respectiva legislação. / [en] This study is developed based on the hypothesis that the deficiencies of project of the package for the automobile s rear passengers, as well as of the rear seat safety-belt itself, from the ergonomic point of view, cause discomfort and constrain people to its usual use. Therefore, its rejection or misuse have been subjecting the passengers to injuries and even to death, in case of accidents. Concerning the importance of the safety-belt s use, especially at the rear seat, the concept and the magnitude of all forces involved toward the protection of the occupants of a vehicle are explained. The legislation history of safety belts is very related with the evolution of the product, except in Brazil. An analysis is done about the ergodesign of the safety-belt s components, its complements and supplements; and particularly its ergodesign in the rear passengers package of the best selling automobiles in the market. Interviews with taxi-drivers, a pensioner fireman and victims of accidents who were at rear seat, became to support the confirmation of the hypothesis. The video recording of the real behaviour of passengers, in addition to the answers of a questionnaire applied to each one of them, had also ratified part of the ergonomic problems detected in this study, which main causes are: absence of emergency release device, absence of the retrator device, absence of the pretensioner device, lacks of more points of anchorage for the belt and the presence of a central occupant in the rear seat of a vehicle. Therefore, we conclude that to reduce injuries and deaths of the automobile users, in current accidents, it is urgent to extend the good solutions for the safety belt of some cars to all of them and to remodel its respective legislation.
