APPENDIX 9: UNECE R93 Front Underrun ProtectionThis standard is available separately from: http://www.unece.org/trans/main/wp29/wp29regs81-100.html Notes1 This is calculated by balancing the moments about the rear axle(s) for an 80kg load ie 80kg x 5.5m/4m. 2 For Australia an application rate of 15 per cent is assumed (See Note 4 ). Cost was calculated by applying the 0.15 rate to the Level 1, Scenario B cost results in Appendix 6 with front, rear and side underrun systems added together, combined rigid and articulated. Likely case - discount rate 7% over 15 years, Most Likely effectiveness device. 3 Under-run trauma will reduce if a high field application rate can be achieved. Overseas studies in Norway and Sweden advise that field effectiveness for self-regulation can be between 25 to 35 per cent. This rate needs to be adjusted for Australia as Swedish and Norway businesses voluntarily offer a number of safety initiatives of motor vehicles. For Australia an application rate of 15 per cent is assumed, relating mainly to the presence of European manufacturers. Note that this does not take in to account any variation in the performance of the underrun systems themselves. The benefit was calculated by applying the 0.15 rate to the Level 1, Scenario B benefit results in Appendix 6 with front, rear and side underrun systems added together, combined rigid and articulated. Likely case - discount rate 7% over 15 years, Most Likely effectiveness device. 4 As the Australian certification system is based on a cost recovery model, any benefits from reduced certification costs should more correctly be allocated to business and may in turn be passed on to transport operators 5 Cost was calculated from the Level 1, Scenario B cost results in Appendix 6 for front underrun systems only, combined rigid and articulated. Likely case - discount rate 7% over 15 years, Most Likely effectiveness device. 6 Benefit was calculated from the Level 1, Scenario B benefit results in Appendix 6 for front underrun systems only, combined rigid and articulated. Likely case - discount rate 7% over 15 years, Most Likely effectiveness device. 7 As the Australian certification system is based on a cost recovery model, any benefits from reduced certification costs should more correctly be allocated to business and may in turn be passed on to transport operators. i The number of crashes and fatalities for heavy vehicle under-runs was obtained for the period 1990-99. The ATSB was unable to provide crashes and fatalities for 3 years during that period, the years being 1991, 1993 and 1995. Number of fatalities beyond 1999 was not available from the Fatal Crash Database as there is a lag in compiling data from Coroner reports. ii Annually 250 pedestrians are killed. 20 per cent of fatal collisions involve heavy trucks and 20 per cent of truck involved collisions end up as under-run collisions. iii these costs are difficult to estimate and are not included in under-run trauma. iv Information for the period beyond 1999 was not available from the ATSB.
