The National Transport Commission (of Australia) has just published
the code of practice that our team prepared in 2005:
http://www.ntc.gov.au/NewsDetail.aspx?page=A0240030550000002000246
( http://tinyurl.com/2qkj2c )
In essence, this requires seats with integrated, retractable seat
belts that withstand a 20g crash pulse, wherever 3 point seat belts
are to be retrofitted to buses in Australia. This will give similar
protection to new buses that comply with Australian Design Rule 68.
Thank you to RTT subscribers who assisted with this project.
