After entering a public transit bus, most wheelchair users cannot readily transfer from chairs to regular passenger seats. Even for those who can make the transfer, there is no place for them to store their chairs during transit. Space and a wheelchair securement system must be provided on public transit buses so that both wheelchair users and other passengers can be transported safely while the wheelchair users remain in their chairs. This report presents and discusses data from 42 dynamic crash tests conducted with wheelchairs, occupied by anthropomorphic dummies, to determine the performance of wheelchairs using 12 different types of securement systems. Both manual and electric powered chairs were used in the tests. Forward, rearward, and sidefacing orientations were represented.
