This document summarizes a study conducted by TRL that assessed the potential for vehicle safety standards to prevent traffic deaths and injuries in Latin America. The study estimated that adopting minimum UN vehicle safety regulations could prevent between 14,000 and 40,000 car occupant fatalities in Latin America by 2030. It also concluded that the economic benefit of preventing these casualties could be up to $143 billion USD. The study recommends that Latin American countries urgently adopt and enforce UN regulations on occupant protection and electronic stability control to help reduce the number of preventable traffic deaths.
Global NCAP provides the following summary of the document:
1. The UN has set a target to halve global road deaths and injuries by 2020 as part of its sustainable development goals, requiring improvements in fatality rates in high, middle, and low income countries.
2. Vehicle safety is a key part of this and the UN recommends policies to implement minimum vehicle safety standards, including for occupant protection, seat belts, air bags, and active safety systems.
3. New Car Assessment Programs (NCAPs) promote safer vehicles by providing consumer information on safety ratings, and encouraging manufacturers to improve safety standards. Global NCAP works to support NCAPs globally and promote minimum safety standards.
- JNCAP is aiming to enhance vehicle safety regulations and assessments in Japan.
- For pedestrian protection tests in 2016, the impact speed will increase to 40km/h and evaluation criteria will become more stringent.
- For preventive safety assessments in 2016, AEB testing will be expanded to include pedestrian scenarios at night and with obstructions.
- Overall, JNCAP is working to strengthen various collision and preventive safety evaluations in order to further reduce traffic fatalities in Japan.
The document discusses the importance of adopting a "Safe System" approach to road safety that focuses on safer infrastructure, vehicles, and road user behavior. It summarizes the following key points:
1) There is a global mandate to shift road safety efforts towards a Safe System approach that builds safer infrastructure and technology rather than relying primarily on enforcement measures.
2) Implementation of a Safe System approach requires rebalancing policy efforts across infrastructure improvements, vehicle safety standards, and road user behavior over time.
3) Universal adoption of minimum United Nations vehicle safety regulations worldwide, especially for crash avoidance technologies, is an urgent priority to improve global road safety.
Automation is the use of technology to automate repetitive and mundane tasks without human involvement, primarily focusing on production and process functions. Autonomation, also called jidoka, is a form of intelligent automation that focuses on supervisory functions. It enables machines to stop when anomalies are detected to prevent defective products and overproduction. The autonomation process at Toyota involves the machine identifying issues, stopping, fixing problems, and identifying root causes. Examples of autonomation in modern contexts include bank accounts locking after too many incorrect logins, electrical trips cutting power for safety, elevators limiting loads, gas valves closing during leaks, and oxygen masks deploying on airplanes during pressure drops.
