Executive Group/Steering Committee: Working Group/Study Team: David Singleton (ARUP) Christopher Graham (ARUP) John Lambert (VIC ROADS) Christopher Tehan (ARUP) Pat Rogerson (VIC ROADS) Abstract: The survey consists of two stages: (i) a pilot study designed to test and refine the methodology. (ii) the main survey to provide detailed information on restraint wearing rates. _ This report describes the pilot study: methodology used, sampling and collection rates, seat belt wearing rates, and vehicle and driver profiles. It also provides details of the practical problems encountered during the pilot study and the recommended approach for the conduct of the main survey. The results of the main survey, includes descriptions of the adopted survey methodology and survey programme, presentation of detailed seat belt wearing rates for important categories, comparisons with weekend data and references to results obtained from other recent rural Victorian seat-belt surveys. 28,594 vehicles were observed over 15 sites. 48,789 usable occupant observations were recorded. It was found that overall seat belt wearing rate on the open road in Victoria was 95.7%. Significant differences in seat belt wearing rates occurred with seating position, age, belt type and vehicle type. In comparison with the most recent Victorian rural town surveys it appears that seat belt wearing rates on rural open roads are similar to wearing rates in rural towns.

Arup Transportation Planning was appointed by Vic Roads to: test and refine the methodology for the study of restraint use on rural open roads through a pilot study collect seat belt usage information at fifteen rural Victorian open road (highway) locations PILOT STUDY the pilot study was undertaken during November/December 1989 at six open road locations; three service stations and three construction sites both seat belt usage data and driver profile data was collected at each type of location the construction sites gave higher sampling rates of passing traffic than did the service stations significantly different seat belt usage patterns were observed at the two types of survey location although the vehicle profile at both sites was similar, the driver profile differed considerably it was concluded that it would be inappropriate to use service stations to gather representative usage information for open road sites it was recommended that the main surveys be conducted at construction sites MAIN SURVEYS the main surveys were conducted at construction sites (as recommended in the pilot study) and at open road (highway) T intersections (when suitable construction sites were not available) 28,594 vehicles were observed over all sites. 48,798 usable occupant observations were recorded approximately 70% of passing traffic On the direction being surveyed during the period of the surveys) was sampled overall, 95.7% of occupants were observed to be wearing seat belts. Overall wearing rates at particular sites varied between 89.0% and 98.9% lower wearing rates appeared to occur more often on roads with lower traffic volumes over the period of the survey, overall wearing rates were observed to have increased Arup Transportation Planning ii significant differences in seat belt wearing rates occurred with seating position. Drivers and those passengers in the front left seat wore seat belts at a higher rate than other vehicle oa;:upants occupants of seats fitted with inertia reel belts wore them at a higher rate than occupants of seats fitted with static belts. Where child restraints were installed, they were worn at a higher than average rate wearing rates in cars and station wagons were higher than wearing rates in utilities and vans wearing rates did not show much variation with time of day although the weekend sample was relatively small it appears that wearing rates on weekends are slightly higher than wearing rates on weekdays major variations in wearing rates were observed with age. Higher then average wearing rates were observed amongst very young children. Rates were lowest amongst 5 to 7 year olds, but rose progressively with age group for older occupants wearing rates for females were slightly higher than for males in comparison with the most recent Victorian rural town surveys (FORS 1990) it appears that overall seat belt wearing rates on rural open roads are similar to wearing rates in rural towns.
