2. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum EUROPEAN STATISTICS EUROPEAN STATISTICS : In 2001, across the 15 member states of the European Union : 169 fatally inured coach or bus passengers. For public transport by road, 0.4 fatalities per billion passagers per Km. For rail transport, 0.2 fatalities per billion passagers per Km. For air transport, 0.4 fatalities per billion passagers per Km. Public transport safety by road is comparable to other means of transport.

4. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum Coaches and Buses French statistics.

5. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum An analysis of the circumstances of the accident. A detailed technical examination of the coach covering all safety matters. Systematic inspection of all seats. Determination of the position occupied by each passenger before the accident. Complete medical evaluation of each person involved. THE DATA COLLECTED CONSIST OF:

6. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum Database IRISBUS/CEESAR DATABASE 104 accidents -106 coaches and buses involved in real world accidents 5 250 occupants

7. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum From our database, we carry out analysis, studies, presentations and the safety way for the future. From our analysis, we introduce to you, the main safety advanced technology for buses and coaches.

8. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum On the road, coaches and buses are the most safety level. In this document, we show the main safety technologies to day in Europa.

9. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum CEESAR-IRISBUS ATABASE Safety seats belts. 1.2. 3 Two points seat belt Three points seat belt For all seats Only for seats without opposite seat back. PASSIVE SAFETY

10. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum Coach roof structure deformation analysis for real world coach accidents according to ECE R66 regulation PASSIVE SAFETY Intrusion inside passenger area by coach roof LATERALIZATION to the left or right; this structural deformation leads to an area of potential partial ejection. The ECE R66 regulation must reduce intrusion inside the passenger compartment to preserve a good deceleration area for passengers.

11. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum PASSIVE SAFETY FIRE PROTECTION Detection Avoid the fire spread Automated fire extinguishing system

12. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum PASSIVE SAFETY Right vision. Very large front windscreen. Left and right wing mirror. Rear view mirror. Frontal mirror. Additinal rear camera.

13. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum PASSIVE SAFETY FRONT UNDERRUN PROTECTION SYSTEM Compatibility between coaches and cars. F.U.P.S.

14. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVE SAFETY ABS Antilock Braking System ABS valve EBS Electronic Braking System EBS module EBS Emergency Braking System Decrease the time reaction when the driver brake.

15. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum ACTIVE SAFETY SPEED REGULATION 90 Km/h on secondary road 100 km/h on a motorway with an ABS Coach speed regulation

16. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum Adaptative crouse control ABS ASR Electronic Stability Program Electonic Braking System Brake Assist System ACTIVE SAFETY NEW TECHNOLOGIES The new electronic system on bord.

17. Transports Publics 2010 and Euro China Transit Forum THE NEXT STEP. In the future, we had to avoid the driver induce sleep rapidly. We had to avoid coach rollover with a new generation ESP. We can give all type of information for the driver directly on the front windscreen.
