The recommended clear zones for wheelchair seated occupants restrained by
both pelvic and shoulder restraints and only a pelvic belt are shown below
Frontal clear zones (FCZ) need
to be larger when the shoulder
belt is not used
The rear clear zone of 400mm is
measured from the rearmost
point on an occupants head.
The frontal clear zone is
measured from the front-most
point on the occupant’s head.
HHT is the estimated seat height
from the wheelchair ground plane
to the top of the wheelchair seated
occupants head. HHTs range from
around 1040mm for a small adult
female to 1550mm for a tall adult
male
The FCZ = 660mm with pelvic and
shoulder belts and 940mm with
only a pelvic belt
The frontal clear zone may not be
achievable for wheelchair seated
drivers.
It is recommended that spill proof batteries such as “gel-cell” are installed on
wheelchairs when used in a motor vehicle.
Backrests of wheelchairs with adjustable recline angles should not be tilted to
more than 30° to the vertical when occupied during transit in a motor vehicle
unless absolutely necessary
In the case that the total wheelchair mass is greater than 125Kgs (275 lbs)
then transportation in vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of greater than
4000Kgs is desirable when the option exists
