The Head Restraint Measuring Device:
Developed and Manufactured in Canada

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced updated regulations that call for improved height and backset limits to head restraints in vehicles made after September 2008. The ICBC Head Restraint Measuring Device will be used to measure backset compliance. This device was developed and is manufactured in Canada by a group headed by CARSP members John Gane of ICBC, and Jocelyn Pedder of RONA Kinetics.

Canadian Civil Engineer
We bring you a suite of traffic safety engineering articles that recently appeared in the magazine of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineering. The issue of designing safety into our roadways is explored from a number of perspectives, with special emphasis on accommodating the increasingly elderly driving population.

Contemporary Issues in Road User Behaviour and Traffic Safety
A new title from Nova Science Publishers, Inc. presents the work of researchers from around the world and from a variety of disciplines, including a number of CARSP members, who are actively searching for ways to make our roadways a safer and more pleasant place to be. See the publisher's flyer (55 KB PDF file) for full details.
