Além do baixo custo, de suas dimensões reduzidas e da maior facilidade na instalação em relação às cadeirinhas, o grande apelo deste dispositivo é o de que possibilita uma grande liberdade de movimento às crianças, permitindo que se ajoelhem e até mesmo deitem no veículo. Devido à possibilidade de falha deste equipamento, uma vez que o mesmo fere o conceito de 'retenção' pelo qual foram desenvolvidos os cintos de segurança e as próprias cadeirinhas, foi necessário verificar a eficácia deste tipo de dispositivo em condições de impacto veicular. Tomando-se como base à norma brasileira NBR 144001 da ABNT (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas), foram realizados testes dinâmicos de impacto frontal com alguns tipos de cintos de segurança infantis, cujas rupturas observadas nos testes comprovaram que estes dispositivos não garantem a necessária proteção à criança em caso de acidentes de trânsito reais / Abstract: Watching a TV News in some years ago, it was shown the child seat belt as the 'great solution' for that parents who don't get their children remained seated on the child seat during driving the vehicle. That device allow a free movement for the children (is it possible to kneel and/or lie on the rear seat), it's a little bit cheep and with smaler dimensions as weel, when compared with the child seat. As this child seat belt didn't improve a necessary 'retention', concept which was developed the seat belts and the child restraint system as whell, it was necessary check the efficient of these child seat belts at vehicle impact conditions. In this way, some child seat belts were tested as according to NBR 14400 standard ('Road Vehicles - Child Restraint System - Safety Requirements '), which rupture observed at the frontal impact tests showed that kind of device does not give the necessary protection for the children at the real traffic accidents / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Safety belts are the most effective safety device in vehicles in terms of preventing injuries (1). Every year, safety belt usage data across the nation is collected by the individual states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories in a probability-based observational survey. Using this survey, Massachusetts, a secondary seat belt law state, ranked last in safety belt usage in 2008. This percentage was approximately a 2 percent decrease from 2007. This value was not an aberration as within the recent past, Massachusetts, a secondary safety belt law state, has consistently ranked at or near the bottom of the 50 states. The foremost issue with safety belt usage is the inherent disregard of the safety related benefits for both drivers and passengers, alike. While there is a significant amount of literature documenting the safety related benefits, there is still a need for continued study of the persistent attributes that are associated with those vehicle occupants who make the decision to not buckle up. The scope of this research encompasses the use of the collected data in the 2009 Massachusetts Safety Belt Usage Observation Study to determine what demographic variables; such as age, gender, race, occupant location, community median income, community population density, community education level, and combined demographics, are at high and low ends of the safety belt usage spectrum. Using this data, along with Massachusetts safety belt usage data from the immediate past observational studies, usage based on these and additional demographic information was quantified and analyzed. An outcome of this research was to identify specific strategies, such as increased education and concentrated enforcement, aimed at increasing safety belt usage amidst those targeted subsections of the population that are not buckling up.

Thesis is oriented on project construction universal apparatus for introduction and research effects deceleration and impact with possibility setting initial velocity. Basic application proposed test station is crash simulation for diagnostic safety belts. At first there're in work presented physical value that describe action in progress at impact, further safety belts, their testing and test . Considerable volume of work is devoted to project actuation, system obstruction kinetic energy and basic construction. Subsequently is presented proposed construction and performed strenght calculation. In the end there are summarized basic characteristics proposed construction, short financial opinion, process of installation and safety rules for using this equipment.
