  2. REDUCE VAN ACCIDENTS WITH TRAINING ON DYNAMICS VAN

  3. 1. BACKING 2. STOPPING 3. CHANGING LANES 4. ROLL - OVER

  4. COMMON VAN ACCIDENTS BACKING

  5. OOPS !

  6. REDUCE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BLIND SPOTS! FIRST ADJUST SEAT !! THEN ADJUST MIRRORS!

  7. WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN KILL YOU Get to Know Your . . . . . . . Mirrors!

  8. VAN SAFETY BLIND SPOTS

  9. WRONG ! RIGHT !! Mirrors

  10. Backing and Parking

  11. VAN SAFETY ANOTHER COMMON VAN ACCIDENT STOPPING

  12. FOLLOWING TO CLOSE N.D.C.C. 39-10-18

  13. A good example of notReasonable and Prudent

  14. “ A Body in Motion Tends to Stay in Motion”

  15. When Following:

  16. VAN SAFETY Another Common VAN ACCIDENT CHANGING LANES

  17. 5 STEPS TO CHANGING LANES SAFELY 1. Establish a 4-second following distance 2. Turn on your signal light several seconds in advance 3. Check your rear view and side mirror 4. Turn your head in the direction you will be going and look 5. If it is safe, change lanes and re-establish your space cushions

  18. VAN SAFETY Highest Risk COMMON VAN ACCIDENT ROLL OVER

  19. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) • 15 passenger vans have an increased rollover risk under certain conditions • The risk of rollover increases dramatically as the number of occupants increases from fewer than 5 occupants to over 10 passengers • 15 passenger vans (with 10 or more occupants) had a rollover rate in single vehicle crashes that is nearly 3 times the rate of those that were lightly loaded

  20. NHTSA • Loading 15 passenger vans causes the center of gravity to shift rearward & upward increasing the likelihood of rollover • Shift in the center of gravity will increase the potential for loss of control in panic maneuvers • It is important that the van be operated by experienced drivers who understand & are familiar with the handling characteristics of the van, especially when fully loaded

  21. NHTSA • Any load placed on the roof will be above the center of gravity of the vehicle & will increase the likelihood of rolling over • Fill the front seats of the van first. The center of gravity shifts to the rear and upward increasing the likelihood of rollovers as capacity increases

  22. STABILITY FACTORS - CENTER OF GRAVITY (CG) - C ENTER OF FORCE (CF) - WEIGHT VAN - TIRES DYNAMICS - PROFILE

  23. CG & CF CF CG HIGH SPEED + HIGH CG + HIGH CF = ROLLOVER !! VAN DYNAMICS

  24. WEIGHT AVERAGE ADULT = 175 lbs x 11 PASSENGERS 5TONS = 1,925 lbs + VEHICLE WEIGHT9,500 lbs = 11,425 lbs VAN PLUS CARGO! DYNAMICS

  25. WEIGHT TRANSFER

  26. PROFILE BUSSES TRUCKS CROSSWINDS VAN DYNAMICS

  27. TIRES LOST RIGHT REAR CAP VAN DYNAMICS
