美国儿科研究院年会提出的一项研究认为,2018年的联邦授权要求新车配备备份摄像机,这与儿童死亡率下降78%、五岁以下儿童受伤和事故大幅减少有关。 A 2018 federal mandate requiring backup cameras in new vehicles is linked to a 78% drop in child fatalities and significant reductions in injuries and accidents involving children under five, according to a study presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics’ annual meeting. 研究人员分析了2011年至2024年的数据,发现该规则生效后的后遗症急剧减少,有53例在任务之前,18例在任务之后。 Researchers analyzed data from 2011 to 2024, finding a sharp decline in backover incidents after the rule took effect, with 53 cases before the mandate and just 18 after. 国家公路交通安全管理局估计,这类事故每年造成数千人受伤,约210人死亡,其中大多数涉及幼儿。 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates thousands of injuries and about 210 deaths annually from such crashes, mostly involving young children. 虽然调查结果是初步的,等待同侪审查,但专家说,这一规则非常有效,敦促老车的驾驶员考虑安装备用摄像机,可通过政府奖励办法这样做。 While the findings are preliminary and await peer review, experts say the rule has been highly effective and urge drivers of older vehicles to consider installing backup cameras, possibly through government incentives.
