Categories Impaired Driving
Products Identification and Referral of Impaired Drivers through Emergency Department Protocols (Report) This report discusses the investigation conducted to determine whether an emergency department (ED) intervention protocol could identify and refer patients with alcohol abuse or alcohol dependency (AA/AD) and result in more patients receiving treatment and evaluation for substance abuse. Of patients treated in emergency departments following motor vehicle crashes , 15-20 % are at high risk for AA/AD, and are likely to drive after drinking. In order to intervene with patients at high risk in the ED, a reliable and quick screening procedure and a method of intervening must be available. An ED protocol for screening and intervention for patients at high risk of AA/AD increases the likelihood of receiving definitive treatment for AA/AD. Three color, 8.5" x 11", 26 pages.
Identification of Alcohol-Pedestrian Crash Programs among Selected Racial/Ethnic Groups This report documents a study that examined racial/ethnic patterns of involvement in fatal crashes, then conducted focus groups among at-risk minority groups to determine cultural factors which might affect the alcohol-pedestrian problem, and how to combat it. Results were analyzed for cultural patterns of alcohol use, likely countermeasures and comments or suggestions. 157 pages.

Increasing Seat Belt Use Among 8-15 Year Olds-Volume 1 (Report) The results of a study designed to identify the best approaches for increasing seat belt use among 8-15 year olds. The summary report and appendices describe the factors underlying non-use of belts by children 8-15, and relate the reactions of children and parents to intervention approaches generated from that information. IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY: This is one of the few traffic safety studies that collected information directly from children on what would work best to get children their age to always wear seat belts. It provides guidance to program professionals regarding targeting strategies, channels of communication, and program elements.
Increasing Seat Belt Use Among 8-15 Year Olds-Volume 2 (Report) The results of a study designed to identify the best approaches for increasing seat belt use among 8-15 year olds. The summary report and appendices describe the factors underlying non-use of belts by children 8-15, and relate the reactions of children and parents to intervention approaches generated from that information. IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY: This is one of the few traffic safety studies that collected information directly from children on what would work best to get children their age to always wear seat belts.

Interoperability Issues for Commercial Vehicle Safety Applications A connected-vehicles program has been undertaken by the U.S. Department of Transportation and its partners, with the goal of exploring and possibly enabling a new generation of technology to address highway transportation safety, mobility, and environmental challenges. This program has been underway for several years, and one area of intensive work has been the development of enabling devices, to be installed onboard vehicles, which use wireless technology to communicate with nearby vehicles and the infrastructure. This can be achieved through 5.9 GHz dedicated short-range communications (DSRC). Such technologies represent highly capable, low-cost alternatives or complements to vehicle-based crash avoidance systems. http://www.nhtsa.gov/DOT/NHTSA/NVS/Crash%20Avoidance/Technical%20Publications/2012/811674.pdf
