- A computer simulation study conducted by Bertocci et al. evaluated the variation in seat loading associated with rear securement point location when using 4-point strap-type tiedowns (7).
- rear securement
- securement point location
- securement points
Examples
-
Wheelchair securement in the model is accomplished using a four-point tiedown system.
Academic text (2000) -
A different securement point configuration, resulting from combining the seating system with a different wheelchair frame in the field, may produce seat loads that are higher than those associated with a single sled test.
Academic text (2000) -
For example, the location of rear securement points, which has previously been shown to influence seat loads in a crash, may be positioned during the sled test so as to produce less than maximum seat loads.
Academic text (2000) -
The occupant weight, severity of the crash, and location of rear securement attachment to the wheelchair are factors that influence seating system loading.
Academic text (2000) -
Rear tiedown securement point location differences could also lead to differences in experimental versus simulated seating loads.
Academic text (2000) -
Such installations allow for moving the shoulder belt anchorage fore or aft within the wheelchair securement station, providing improved belt fit.
Academic text (2000) -
In a previous study, this IRA method was applied through crash simulation to evaluate the influences of wheelchair securement point location on occupant injury risk in a 20g/30mph frontal impact (15).
Academic text (2000) -
Rear securement points located above the combined wheelchair and occupant CG would tend to increase seat loads due to the rearward rotation of the wheelchair in a frontal impact (7).
Academic text (2000) -
To compare various wheelchair crash scenarios, such as securement methods, occupant restraint configurations, seating positions, or variations in seating materials, an injury risk assessment (IRA) method appropriate to the evaluation of wheelchair crash safety was developed (15).
Academic text (2000) -
The securement of the cargo ensured it would not shift during transportation.

Etymology
Securement comes from secure ('safe') and the ending -ment that turns a verb into a thing, as in 'payment'. So a securement is a device or fastener that keeps something safe and held in place.
