A seatbelt-gearshift delay was evaluated in two U.S. and three Canadian vehicles using a reversal design. The seatbelt-gearshift delay required unbelted drivers either to buckle their seatbelts or to wait a specified time before they could put the vehicle in gear. After collecting behavioral prebaseline data, a data logger was installed in all five vehicles to collect automated data on seatbelt use. Next the seatbelt-gearshift delay was introduced. The results showed that the delay increased all 5 drivers' seatbelt use, and that the duration of the delay that produced relatively consistent seatbelt use varied across drivers from 5 to 20 s. When the device was deactivated in four of the five vehicles, behavior returned to baseline levels.
使用反转设计对两辆美国车辆和三辆加拿大车辆的安全带 - 换挡延迟进行了评估。安全带 - 换挡延迟要求未系安全带的驾驶员要么系上安全带,要么等待特定时间后才能挂挡。在收集行为基线前数据后,在所有五辆车中安装了数据记录器,以收集关于安全带使用的自动数据。接下来引入了安全带 - 换挡延迟。结果表明,延迟增加了所有5名驾驶员的安全带使用率,并且产生相对一致安全带使用情况的延迟持续时间在不同驾驶员之间从5秒到20秒不等。当五辆车中的四辆停用该装置时,行为恢复到基线水平。
