OBJECTIVES
The study investigated the effectiveness in increasing seat belt use of Ford's belt reminder system, a supplementary system that provides intermittent flashing lights and chimes for five minutes if drivers are not belted.
METHODS
Seat belt use of drivers in relatively new cars with and without the reminder system was unobtrusively observed as vehicles were brought to dealerships for service.
RESULTS
Overall use rates were estimated at 71% for drivers in vehicles without the reminder system and 76% for drivers in vehicles with belt reminders (p<0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
Seat belt use is relatively low in the United States. The present study showed that vehicle based reminder systems can be at least modestly effective in increasing belt use, which may encourage further development of such systems.
目的
本研究调查了福特安全带提醒系统在提高安全带使用率方面的有效性，该补充系统在驾驶员未系安全带时会提供持续五分钟的间歇性闪烁灯光和鸣响。
方法
当车辆被送到经销商处维修时，对配备和未配备该提醒系统的较新汽车中的驾驶员的安全带使用情况进行了不显眼的观察。
结果
估计没有提醒系统的车辆中的驾驶员总体使用率为71%，配备安全带提醒系统的车辆中的驾驶员为76%（p<0.01）。
结论
在美国，安全带使用率相对较低。本研究表明，基于车辆的提醒系统在提高安全带使用率方面至少有一定效果，这可能会鼓励此类系统的进一步发展。
