that the stronger structure around the a-pillar due to the frontal
offset crash test and side curtains due to the side pole crash test
have prevented more serious injuries to the driver (Albanese). A slight
change to the impact could have resulted in a narrow offset frontal
crash, as conducted by IIHS.

- 22 Aug 18 TfNSW: New bus technical specifications - New requirements (TS150) for warning signs and flashing lights on school buses to apply from February 2019. This is based on the Heavy Vehicle (Vehicle Standards) National Regulation. Comment: In 1995 Dr Alec Fisher and I conducted a review of school bus warning systems. (more info, ESV paper)
One of the main conclusions was that the yellow turn signals being used
on school buses at the time were woefully inadequate for traffic
on high-speed roads on bright days, when their signal
range was typically around 50 metres. We recommended much brighter
lights be used and showed that the lights in use on school buses in the
USA were suitable. Nothing changed! Tasmania introduced bright lights on its school buses in 1996. The Draft National Heavy Vehicle Inspection Manual,
pubished by the NRTC in 2001, had this note: "Note: for optimum signal
range in bright daylight the on-axis intensity is required to be no
less than 1500cd. This is about six times brighter than typical turn
signals." Several Australian States and Territories picked up these
requirements, which were then included in the National Regulations.
So... after 30 years our research has become law in NSW.

(Comment: Maybe a condition of self-driving car approvals should be

these criteria. Update: more details about the crash - it was a Volvo XC90 which had pedestrian AEB but failed to react in time. The XC90 has "acceptable" pedestrian impact protection
and so the above suggestion (good protection) would likely not have
changed the outcome but clearly it makes sense as a requirement for all
driverless cars)

[Opinion: Although this is a serious issue the number of vehicles with
potentially dangerous airbags is very small - it is understood that
most vehicles on the Australian recall list
have airbag units that are not dangerous but, since it is impossible to
determine the defective ones, they all need to be replaced. The main
issues have been obtaining a sufficient number of replacement units to meet demand
and, in particular, contacting the owners of vehicles that are, in some
cases, more than 15 years old. Consumer Reports USA has some useful information on this issue. Frontal airbags have been a key factor
in the remarkable improvement in occupant safety over the past two decades
- it is estimated that they have prevented more than 2,000 deaths and
20,000 serious injuries to Australian drivers since 1997.]
