Rachel Weintraub of the Consumer Federation of America presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit on Oct. 11, 2012. I would like to discuss the issue of ATV safety from the consumer perspective. CFA has been involved in this issue for decades and I have been working on it for almost 10 years. My focus would be age categories but would also touch upon consumer awareness of vehicle characteristics and the impact of these characteristics upon use and safety. The issue of ATV safety as it impacts children in the United States is an important one that is in need of more focus and discussion.

Strategies to reduce road traffic fatalitiesJeewantha Dias
This was done as a group presentation for short clinical appointment on Forensic Medicine at Faculty of Medicine, University of Ruhuna on strategies to reduce road traffic fatalities in Sri Lanka by 4th year medical students.
Each year nearly 1.3 million people die as a result of a road traffic collision—
more than 3000 deaths each day—and more than half of these people are not
travelling in a car. Ninety percent of road traffic deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries,
which claim less than half the world\'s registered vehicle fleet. Road traffic injuries
are among the three leading causes of death for people between 5 and 44 years
of age. Unless immediate and effective action is taken, road traffic injuries are
predicted to become the fifth leading cause of death in the world, resulting in an
estimated 2.4 million deaths each year.
The SC&RA Pilot Car Task Force has worked diligently to foster a productive dialogue between the pilot car industry and carriers. This breakout session will discuss expectations of both parties regarding insurance, inter vehicle communications and more! Plus–you’ll get a sneak peek at a document to lead carriers and pilot car companies into mutually beneficial service agreements.

A road map for safer cars by 2020, presentation by David Ward, secretary general, Global NCAP at the 2014 Global NCAP Annual Meeting. CATARC, Tianjin, China. 30 October 2014
Global NCAP highlights pedestrian safety at the UNGlobal NCAP
The potential of crash avoidance systems to reduce pedestrian deaths has been highlighted by Global NCAP at the United Nations in New York. Speaking to the UN Road safety Collaboration, Global NCAP’s Secretary General, David Ward said that emergency braking systems combined with softer car fronts can reverse the rise in pedestrian fatalities.
An estimated 64% of all travel today is made within urban environments. By 2050, the total amount of urban kilometres travelled worldwide is expected to triple, with traffic congestion potentially bringing major cities to a standstill. In Singapore, a small island with a population of 5.4 million, there are approximately 1 million cars on the roads. At the same time, roads take up 12% of land space. With the limited land space in Singapore, it is unrealistic to further increase the number of vehicles or add more roads.
To address these challenges, the Singapore government plans to implement an intelligent and adaptable transport system which uses data to empower commuters and adjusts to their needs. Sensor networks are being deployed that collect data from busy areas such as traffic junctions, bus stops and taxi queues, then relay it back to the relevant agencies for analysis through data analytics and real-world applications. Besides transportation systems powered by big data analytics, driverless vehicles are also a major focus so far for the Singapore government. More than six kilometres of public roads have been opened this year for AV trials, currently in use for trials with a small fleet of public self-driving taxis. Various stakeholders are aiming for full-scale commercial autonomous taxi service in 2018 in Singapore.
In this presentation, Dr. Justin will address various aspects of AV technologies, including latest technical developments, opportunities and challenges related to AVs, safety and liability issues, and commercialisation aspects.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

Wat is nu precies het verschil met marketplaces en Programmatic ads? In dit half uur beslechten we de dilemma's en krijg je antwoorden op wanneer het voor jou tijd is om de volgende stap te zetten.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. The Consumer Federation of America (CFA) is
a non-profit organization founded in 1968 to
advance consumer interests through
research, education and advocacy.
3. CFA has been involved in ATV safety issues since
the 1980s.
CFA opposed the consent decree because we felt
that it did not go far enough to protect
consumers, CFA petitioned CPSC in the 1990s
and again in 2002, and legally challenged CPSC’s
abandonment of their ATV rulemaking in the
1990’s.
CFA petitioned CPSC in 2002 along with AAP,
American College of Emergency Physicians and
others to ban the sale of adult-size four wheel
all-terrain vehicles ("ATVs") sold for the use by
children under sixteen years of age.
4. CFA has testified before the Commission in
support of our petition, has testified before
Congress about ATV safety, published reports on
this issue and have been involved in the
voluntary standards process regarding ATVs, and
has filed comments with CPSC.
In particular, CFA opposed the 2001, 2007 and
2010 (September 8, 1999 and November 13,
2006, May 6, 2010) SVIA/ANSI ATV standard. In
those comments we expressed our concern that
the standard was inadequate to reduce injuries
and deaths.
5. The Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 (CPSIA) required the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to
publish, as a mandatory consumer product
safety standard, the American National
Standard for Four-Wheel All-Terrain
Vehicles Equipment Configuration, and
Performance Requirements, developed by
the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America
(ANSI/SVIA 1-2007).
CPSC’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
responded to the 2010 update of the
ANSI/SVIA standard.
6. It is imperative that CPSC’s mandatory fix a
major flaw of the voluntary standard and
address the death and injury data CPSC has
released on ATV injuries and fatalities.
The fact that CPSC is conducting a two day
meeting on this issue provides CPSC with an
opportunity to take strides to reduce risks
posed by ATVs.
7. The CPSC released its 2010 Annual Report of
ATV-Related Deaths and Injuries on December
19, 2011. Major findings include:
◦ Estimates of serious injuries requiring emergency room
treatment among people of all ages decreased from
131,900 in 2009 to 115,000 in 2010.
◦ The overall increase of 4.5 percent between the
estimated number of injuries in 2001 (110,100) and
2010 (115,000) is not statistically significant. However,
trend analysis by CPSC indicates that for all ATVs, there
is a statistically significant upward trend in emergency
room visits for people of all ages during the years 2001
through 2010.
8. ◦ The estimated number of ATV-related fatalities for all ages decreased
from 833 in 2008 to 781 in 2009. The agency notes, however, that the
2009 data is not considered complete.
◦ In 2010, ATVs killed at least 55 children younger than 16, accounting for
17 percent of fatalities. Forty seven percent of children killed were
younger than 12 years old.
◦ Children under 16 suffered an estimated 28,300 serious injuries in 2010 –
or 25 percent of all injuries. In 2009, serious injuries to children also
made up 25 percent of all injuries.
◦ It is important to note that there is always a lag with death reports making
their way to the CPSC and therefore the 2009 statistics should not be
considered complete. For example, when child death statistics for the
year 2006 were first reported in 2007, the number stood at 111; since that
time, additional data collection has increased that number to 143.
9. If deaths and injuries are decreasing, why?
We need to understand if this is the
beginning of a trend and if so, what is
causing it, and how do we speed it up?
How can CPSC’s mandatory rule significantly
decrease ATV deaths and injuries?
10. 1. Category-T and Youth Model ATVs
In the 1986 report from the CPSC ATV task
force, “Regulatory Options for All-terrain Vehicles,”
the human factors staff concluded that,
Between the ages of 6 and 11 years, while physically
capable of handling the small (50 and 60 cc engine
displacement) ATV models, children still lack the
cognitive and perceptual abilities to do so safely.
Their motor abilities at this age range still tend to be
erratic and slower than desirable . . . the findings are
clear that most children under 12 should not be on
child-size ATVs due to lack of maturity. Therefore, a
ban on ATVs intended for use by children under 12
years of age should be considered if the industry will
not withdraw them from the market voluntarily.
11. Category-T and Youth Model ATVs
What rationale or evidence has emerged to justify
the creation of a new “transitional” class of ATVs,
which would serve to place children on larger,
faster, heavier and more powerful ATVs?
What evidence has been provided that justifies any
of the speeds for any of the classes of youth
model ATVs?
12. 2. Speed Limiting Devices
Can they be defeated?
Are standards adequate to ensure that they
work?
13. 3. Type I ATVs- Should Make Carrying a Passenger
Impossible
The long seat on ATVs makes it not only possible
but also inviting for a passenger to ride.
The seat length should be shortened and
designed differently, making it impossible for
more than one person to sit on the seat at one
time.
Other design standards should be considered to
make carrying passengers impossible.
14. 4. Type II ATVs
What evidence exists to support the
creation of such a tandem ATV?
How is the Type II ATV designed
differently to allow for the addition of a
passenger?
15. 5. Death and Injury Data
The most recent death and injury data from
CPSC should be conspicuously provided to
consumers in as many places and methods
that can increase a consumer’s knowledge
about the risk they are assuming by
operating or allowing their child to operate an
ATV.
16. 6. Language in Labels
The General Warning Label should include a
statement about the inappropriateness and
danger of children under 16 riding ATVs that
are too large, too fast and too powerful for
them.
The language of the warning labels for all
ATVs should include the following statement,
“WARNING: Risk of death. ATV’s intended for
adults should not be used by children.”
17. 7. Lateral Stability/ Pitch Stability
The inherent instability of ATVs is a serious problem that
must be addressed.
CPSC examined incidence from its 2001 injury study and
found that 45 percent of injuries occurred in incidents in
which an ATV overturned.
A lateral stability test must be included and the pitch
stability equation must be improved.
A better approach is to include a lateral stability test,
which would include both static and dynamic rollover test,
such as the test the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) uses for motor vehicles, and a
comparative analysis of vehicle performance.
18. 8. Seat Belts Should be Standard and Roll Cages
Should be Required
All ATVs should be equipped with seat belts and
standards should create a minimum standard for
seat belt integrity.
ATVs should be equipped with a roll cage to
prevent the driver from being crushed by the
weight of the vehicle in the event of a rollover.
The standard should set forth the necessary
dimensions and should provide for a standard
setting a minimum force and weight that the roll
cage can withstand.
19. 9. Headlights
The mandatory standard should provide that
all ATVs be equipped with headlights that
automatically turn on when the engine is
started.
Numerous riding conditions could be
improved by headlights, such as
rain, fog, snow, and dirt.
20. 10. Service Brake Performance
The implications of brake failures are vast;
however, the 2007 standards weakened
existing brake performance standards, and
the 2010 standard does not fix that problem.
We urge the mandatory standard to improve
brake performance and reduce the risk for
serious injury and death that failed brakes
create.
21. 11. Free Training
The standard should require free “hands-
on” ATV training for operators and all riders
of ATVs.
The training should be geographically
accessible to all ATV operators and riders.
The standard should set forth the
requirements for the training classes, taking
into account riders’ different age levels and
abilities and ensuring that the training is
substantive and improves ATV operator and
rider knowledge about safe ATV operation.
22. 12. Marketing and Advertising must be Consistent with
Warning Labels
The General Warning Label provisions of the standard
require warning labels which indicate that the
operator must always “use proper riding techniques
to avoid overturns on hills and rough terrain and in
turns.”
This standard should also include a provision that
states, “All marketing and advertisements for all-
terrain vehicles must not contradict any warning label
in this standard or any warning in a training manual.”
Too often, advertisements have been identified that
market ATVs by showing riding behavior that
contradicts messages in warning labels and manuals.
23. 13. Selling the Appropriate Size ATV
ATV retailers should be prohibited from selling
inappropriate sized ATVs.
A 2010 GAO Report found that “manufacturers and
distributors have agreed to use their best efforts to
prevent their dealers from selling adult-sized ATVs for use
by children, but recent GAO undercover checks of selected
dealers in four states indicated that 7 of 10 were willing to
sell an adult-sized ATV for use by children.”
Since the selling of the wrong-sized ATV occurs so often
and has such a significant impact on safety, the new
standard should include a provision that prohibits this
practice.
Government Accountability Office (GAO), ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES: How
They Are Used, Crashes, and Sales of Adult-Sized Vehicles for Children’s
Use, April 2010. (available on the web at
http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d10418.pdf)
24. We urge CPSC to promulgate a mandatory
standard that will effectively reduce ATV
death and injuries.
