In this annotated bibliography, Melissa Poston provides summaries and evaluations of 5 sources that will inform her research paper on improving child safety in vehicles. The sources discuss new intelligent vehicle technologies, safety tips for preventing child injuries, how car manufacturers are improving safety features through design, the development of hybrid vehicles, and drivers' increasing interest in entertainment features over safety. Poston's paper will argue for additional safety features to prevent children from being left unattended in cars.

Poston 1 Melissa Poston Professor Bolton English 101 8 April 2013 Annotated Bibliography: A Kid in a Car In the past, automobiles have improved in certain ways, from air bags to seat belts and better brakes. But what about the little safety features that could prevent children from being killed? In A Kid in a Car,a little girl, was left unattended in a vehicle and died. Zoie was a two year old girl, whose father laid her down in the back sit of his truckfor a nap. Her father left the truck on, and rolled the window halfway down. When Zoie woke up, she tried to climb out the window but her knee pressed the electric powered window switch and the window rolled up on her neck and she was strangled. There have been many cases of children killed by being left in unattended cars. This could happen to any child who is not watched, and who is left alone. Parents should care more about this situation, and car mechanics should be figuring out ways to keep these things from happening. Maybe adding sensors to the powered windows could help a lot in protecting children.My research paper will notify parents and mechanics of the danger leaving unattended children around motor vehicles. My research paper will reflect on this bibliography, which assists as a basis for my research. Bishop, Richard. Intelligent Vehicle Technology And Trends. Artech House, 2005. eBook Collection (EBSCOhost). Web. 6 Apr. 2013. This eBook talks about the new intelligent technology that has been introduced to vehicles. It states that researchers have appointed a Freightliner called platooning. Also states that evaluations were instructed to assess fuel consumptions, improve emissions with various platoon spacing. This eBook was published in 2005, 8 years ago. I believe it is trust worthy because there are vehicles that have these intelligent technologies. And it will be useful in my paper.
Poston 2 This data will help in my research paper because I will talk about what kind of technology they need to add to vehicles, like; sensored windows, etc. In Intelligent vehicles, Bishop quotes, An extensive technology suite was integrated onto the vehicles, including sensors, actuators, and communication systems ( 234). Coats, Debra Clements. Infant Safety: part of primary-care job. Clinical AdvisorFeb. 2013: 82. AcademicOneFile. Web. 5 Apr. 2013. This article, by Debra Coats, states that Each year, hundreds of children in the United States younger than age 1 year die of injuries, much of which could have been easily prevented (Coats 82). It explains how children each year die from suffocation, car injuries, and others. And states that clinicians should educate parents with children about the dangers of suffocation, car safety, falls, burns, and choking. Show how to avoid these accidents; Suffocation: room-sharing without bed-sharing, and avoidance of loose bedding. (Coats 82), Car Safety: car seats should be installed by the instructions from the owners manual, Home: never leave a baby alone on a bed discouraging playing near windows. And ends with telling about a program called Text4baby that sends educational text messages to parents phones. This article was published in2013. Coats didnt write this article for fun; she wrote it to inform parents about the dangers that could happen to their children. Coats isa RN, BSN, CRNP-FNP student, who completed a pediatrics rotation. She also is an oncology nurse in Pennsylvania, worksin internal medicine practice and an infectious-disease practice.Coats is trustworthy because of what she does in her career, and she knows what she is talking about. This article will be useful in my research paper because of the safety precautions that parents need to take. Coats gives a lot of safety tips that parents could use to keep their children safe, gives them a program they could use for help. I could use the care safety tips to relate to my story, even though it doesnt talk exactly about what happened in the story. Coats uses direct facts in the article which will make my research paper sound more dependable.
Poston 3 Designing for Innovation and Safety. Integrating Safety and Design. Kate Conway, 2011. Films on Demand. Web. 6 Apr. 2013. http://storm.hgtc.edu:2048/login?url=http://digital.films.com/Portal Playlists.aspx?aid=3503&xtid=44505. In Designing the Innovation and Safety, the film shows how Volvos are improving on all kinds of new safety features. The film also shows that they have added sensors to the Volvo, for pedestrians and other cars so that the car will catch it before the driver. Not only does it improves on the safety, but improves on the designof the Volvo, no one wants to be seen in an old car. This film is trustworthy; it shows actual proof of how they are improving and why they are. There are cars like these already out and people love them. So that shows that this film is reliable. This film will be useful in my paper when I talk about how the technology has improved from the past. If you look back 30 years ago the safety elements were not the beautiful element of the Volvo. Fuhs, Allen E. Hybrid Vehicles and the Future of Personal Transportation. Boca Raton: CRC Press, 2009:Print. In this book, by Allen Fuhs, it explains the new future cars called Hybrid Vehicles; it states that one billion cars are to be on the roads of the world in the future. It provides coverage of technology involved with the manufacturing and operating the vehicles. It talks about the major components of hybrid and other electronic vehicles, and discusses the concept and the production of hybrids as well as the economics and safety issues of the hybrid vehicle. It explains the Hybrids history, how they work, and the impact on the environment. This book was published in 2009. Fuhs received a Bachelors degree in science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of New Mexico. He also has a Master of Science degree and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, from California Institute of Technology. Fuhs started a career at 21, at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterrey, California. In the Space System Academic Group at the NPS, Fuhs was presented with the first chairman and created the curriculum from scratch. During the George H.W.
Poston 4 Bush Administration, Fuhs was on the Vice Presidents Space Policy Advisory Board for the National Space Council. There is a lot more accomplishments that Fuhs did, which makes him very trustworthy to use in the research paper. This book has good information that I could use in my research paper. The book states that The manufactures have focused on the safety issue. Serious design and testing of safety has been accomplished to minimize risk (Fuhs 421). This quote can help me in my paper, saying that mechanics are trying to make automobiles safer for everyone and put more safety feature in them. James, Tony. Smart Cars. Engineering & Technology (17509637) 7.6 (2012): 50-51. Academic Search Premier. Web. 6 Apr. 2013. This article talks about how car owners expect additional safety features and instead are focusing on infotainment technologies. Even though they remain interested in the safe technology, they are more interested in features and technology that keep them connected and entertained in their vehicles. This article was published in 2012, which was nearly a year ago. James is the President of The Blackstone Group; he was also Chairman of Global Investment Banking and Private Equity at Credit Suisse First Boston. James is a graduate of Harvard College, and has an MBA from Harvard Business School. Im going to use this article for my counterargument. My counterargument is that people say that children are safe as they will ever be in vehicles these days. But in this article it states that While vehicle owners remain interested in the technologies that make their vehicles safer, they are turning their attention more and more toward features and technologies that allow them to be productive, connected and entertained while in their vehicles (James 50). More and more people are taking their minds off of safety and more on other things that distract them while they are driving.
