Abstract

Since 1994, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has used BELTUSE, a DOS version program, to estimate the benefits from increased safety belt usage. The core of the BELTUSE program is a statistical model (BELTUSE model) developed by a regression technique using 1983-1991 safety belt usage data collected in the 19-City Surveys. This research note descries an analysis based on newer and more comprehensive data to update the BELTUSE model for the purpose of future safety belt benefits assessments. (Author/publisher)
