WHEELCHAIR TIEDOWN AND OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR USE MOTOR VEHICLES
Foreword—For people with disabilities who are unable to transfer from their wheelchairs when traveling in motor vehicles, the wheelchair must serve as the vehicle seat. This usually means that the occupant restraint system installed by the vehicle manufacturer cannot be used to provide protection in a crash. In addition, the wheelchair must be secured to the vehicle so that it does not impose forces on its occupant and/or become a hazard to other vehicle occupants in a collision or sudden vehicle maneuver. Providing occupant protection for the wheelchair-seated occupant, therefore, requires that aftermarket equipment be installed to secure the wheelchair and restrain the wheelchair user.
This Recommended Practice applies to the design and performance of motor-vehicle adaptive equipment referred to as wheelchair tiedown and occupant restraint system or WTODS. It is the purpose of this document to encourage the design, testing, installation, and use of WTODS equipment that will provide effective wheelchair securement and occupant restraint in a frontal collision, and that will be comparable in crash performance to seat securement and occupant restraint systems provided by the vehicle manufacturer. While the primary concern is to reduce the potential for injury to wheelchair-seated occupants involved in a frontal vehicle crash, it is anticipated that achievement of improved occupant protection will also result in increased driver and passenger safety and comfort during normal travel. The provisions of this document should not be used to discourage people with disabilities using motor vehicle transportation or to limit access to, and availability of, motor vehicle transportation to wheelchair users.
Since manufacturers of WTORS are generally not able to control or specify the end use of their products, the 48-km/h, 20-g sled impact test specified in Appendix A is intended to qualify WTORS for use in vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of less than 7000kg. In larger vehicles, it may be possible to provide safe transportation using WTORS that do not comply with the level of crash severity used in this document.
As with any vehicle seat, the wheelchair is an important component of the occupant protection system, and also contributes to the stability and comfort of the wheelchair-seated occupant during normal travel. Design and performance of wheelchairs used as seats in motor vehicles is addressed in a separate, but related, ANSI/RESNA Standard now under development.
Design Requirements
1. Complete WTORS--WTORS shall:
a. Be for use with only one wheelchair and one occupant at a time .
b. Not require components of wheelchair tiedowns and occupant restraints to pass through the
wheels of a wheelchair .
c. Provide for release of both the wheelchair and the occupant within 60s by a single attendant or
wheelchair user without the use of tools .
d. Not require removal of wheelchair frame material, drilling into the wheelchair frame,
deformation of the wheelchair, welding, or the use of an adhesive process, during installation,
unless the WTORS is intended for a srecific wheelchair and the modifications are approved by
the wheelchair manufacturer .
e. Once installed, be operable without tools .
f. Include only hardware and fittings that are permanently connected to the WTORS or a
WTORS subassembly .
g. Be designed to prevent unintentional loosening of all threaded fasteners .
h. Include a manual override in case of power failure for any power-operated mechanisms of
tiedowns or restraints .
i. Include anchorage fasteners and hardware, and/or specifications for such hardware, that are
based on the material, size, and quantity of anchorage fasteners used in the simulated frontal
inpact test of Appendix A .
2. Wheelchair Tiedowns--Wheelchair tiedowns and tiedown components shall:
a. Not depend on the wheelchair brakes .
b. Be designed so that securement of the wheelchair is accomplished by the tiedown only and not
by the occupant restraints .
c. Provide a means to eliminate free movement of the wheelchair without the use of tools .
d. If the WTORS includes a four-point strap -type tiedown, each strap assembly shall provide for
manual adjustment in length without the use of tools, such that the adjustment ranges of front
and rear straps enable achieving the minimum and maximum lengths indicated in Table 1, with
at least 25 mm of webbing extending from the adjustment mechanisms.
TABLE 1--MIMIMUM ADJUSTMENT RANGES FOR FOUR-POINT TIEDOWN STRAPS：
Strap Assembly Location Mimimum Length mm (in) Maximum Length mm (in)
Rear 485(19) 740(29)
Front 410(16) 710(28)
e. Have securement-point end fittings of four-point tiedowns that are compatible with the
securement-point structural member of the surrogate wheelchair illustrated in Figure E4 .
f. Include a device to indicate, by visual or auditory means, when a docking-type tiedown is
properly engaged .
3. Occupant Restraints--WTORS shall either be designed to use the vehicle OEM passenger or
driver restraint, or shall include an occupant restraint that complies with the following
requirements:
3.1.The occupant restraint portion of the WTORS shall include both pelvic and upper torso restraints .
3.2 Occupant restraints may be designed to anchor directly to the vehicle, to components of the wheelchair tiedown, or to tiedown components fastened to the wheelchair. Occupant restraints shall not be designed with anchorages that rely on the transmission of restraint loads through the wheelchair structure unless the WTORS is designed for a specific wheelchair and the WTORS meets the requirements of 6.2 when the combination of wheelchair and WTORS is tested according to Appendix A .
3.3 The lengths of pelvic and upper torso restraints shall be manually adjustable without the use of tools .
3.4 When the WTORS is set up and measured as specified in Appendix B, pelvic restraints and, if applicable, their anchor points or guide points, shall:
a. Achieve side-view projected angles that fall within the zone shown in Figure 4b .
b. Achieve projected rear-view angles and locations within the zones shown in Figure 4a .
c. Provide sufficient length adjustment to allow the pelvic restraint, measured from anchor point to anchor point, to be both increased and decreased by 200 mm with at least 25 mm of webbing extending through the restraint end fittings at all times .
3.5 When the WTORS is set up and measured as specified in Appendix B, upper torso restraints shall provide for sufficient length adjustment to extend an additional 200 mm, and shorten by 300 mm, with at least 25 mm of webbing extending through the restraint end fittings at all times .

FIGURE 4
NOTE—Note that angles indicated are obtained by projecting the angle of the pelvic restraint onto a vertical plane to the wheelchair reference plane (side view), or onto a vertical plane that is perpendicular to the wheelchair reference plane (rear view) .
3.6 For WTORS that include upper-anchor points or upper-guide support structures for shoulder or harness restraints, the locations of these anchor points or supporting structures shall:
a. Be sufficiently adjustable in height to be located at or above the shoulder levels of the intended user .
b. Be located at least 1100 mm above the wheelchair ground plane so as to be near or above the shoulder height of wheelchair seated occupants .
NOTE1—The anchor point may be located below 1100 mm if an upper-guide support is located at or above 1100 mm .
NOTE2—Although FMVSS 210 allows for the upper torso restraint anchor points to be located a significant distance below the occupant’s shoulder level, such locations are considered to be undersirable and not in compliance with this document since they could result in downward loading on the occupant that can produce spinal injuries .
3.7 The junction of the shoulder and pelvic restraints of three-point restraints shall be located not less than 150 mm from the ATD centerline when installed as specified in Appendix B .
3.8 An airbag shall be used only as a supplementary occupant restraint in conjunction with a wheelchair tiedown and belt-type occupant restraint that comply with the requirements of this document .
3.9 Performance of the WTORS shall not depend on an airbag to comply with this document .
