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.

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.

Database

IRISBUS/CEESAR DATABASE

104 accidents -106 coaches and buses

involved in real world accidents

5 250 occupants


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.


On the road, coaches and buses are the most safety level.In this document, we show the main safety technologies to day in Europa.

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.
