The report presents the final results of a project to develop and test a wheelchair/occupant securement system for the safe transport of disabled occupants in public transit vehicles. The development effort consisted of four tasks: (1) Feasibility Study, (2) Prototype Development, (3) Static Testing, and (4) Sled Testing. For the wheelchair restraint, a prototype was developed featuring an add-on fixture for interface with standard automotive restraint components (i.e., belts, buckles, latches, retractors). Also included in the prototype were carabiners to serve either as an adapter for wheelchairs not fitted with add-on fixtures or as an alternative device for wheelchair attachment.
