چکیده
This study sought to determine the need of seat belt reminder system for rear seat passengers for vehicles particularly in Malaysia. Analysing road crashes involving passenger vehicles, rear seat occupancy was evaluated. Besides, compactness of the rear seat was accordingly assessed. As results, a high rear seat occupancy, with significant number of seats being occupied can be observed. This findings explains that safety features for the rear passengers, should also be emphasized, similar to the front passengers. Accordingly, installation of SBR for the rear passengers is significant. This intervention could assist in improving the seat belt wearing compliance, in tandem with road safety vision to minimise casualties due to road crashes. Key-Words: occupancy, road crash, seat belt, seat belt reminder.
