Consulmotive P/L was commissioned by Ultimate
Taxiads P/L to inspect the upgraded Taxi Sign design to ensure its compliance
with applicable Australian Design Rule 44/02, Passenger Transport (Taxi Cab
Services) Regulation 2001 - Sect 20 and RTA Vehicle Standards Information Sheet
No. 35.
The roof mounted taxi sign was also load tested
to twenty times it own weight in order to ascertain its ability to resist loads
in the forward, side and rearward horizontal directions. The load tests were
conducted by the University of Sydney, Structures Laboratory.
The upgraded design of the roof sign is
configured to restrain an approved Child Safety Restraint Seat. The lower base
has been moulded to locate the child restraint seat in the inverted horizontal
position whilst the top locks down onto the seat ensuring it is retained within
the roof sign at all times whilst in the locked position.
