Nebraska Administrative Code › Topic - EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF › Title 92 - NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION › Chapter 92 - REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE MINIMUM EQUIPMENT STANDARDS AND SAFETY INSPECTION CRITERIA FOR PUPIL TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES › Appendix A - DESCRIPTION OF NATIONAL SCHOOL BUS YELLOW

Current through June 17, 2024
The color known as National School Bus Yellow was designated
				  as such by the 1939 National Conference on School Bus Standards. The National
				  Bureau of Standards of the U.S. Department of Commerce assisted in developing
				  this color and its color metric specifications.
At the 1980 conference, the colors in use were reviewed. A
				  color standard was selected, slightly different from above, and specific
				  tolerances were chosen. These tolerances will ensure a continuity of appearance
				  from bus to bus, and within the same bus when different elements are finished
				  or refinished at different times.
When it was determined that the use of lead and chromium in
				  paint was a health hazard, the National Bureau of Standards of the U.S.
				  Department of Commerce assisted the S.B.M.I. in developing their color standard
				  No. SBMI-008, which further defined the tolerances to permit better definition
				  of the color. Specifications for the standard color, with light and dark
				  tolerances are shown below in tabular form.

Nebraska Administrative Code › Topic - EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF › Title 92 - NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION › Chapter 92 - REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE MINIMUM EQUIPMENT STANDARDS AND SAFETY INSPECTION CRITERIA FOR PUPIL TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES › Appendix E - NOISE TEST PROCEDURES

Current through June 17, 2024
A. The vehicle is located so that no other vehicle or
				  signboard, building, hill, or other large reflecting surface is within 15.2 m
				  (50 feet) of the occupant's seating position.
B. All vehicle doors, windows, and ventilators are
				  closed.
C. All power-operated accessories are turned off.
D. The driver is in the normal seated driving position and
				  the person conducting the test is the only other person in the vehicle.
E. A sound level meter is used that is set at the
				  "A-weighting fast" meter response and meets the requirements of:
1. The American National Standards Institute, Standard ANSI S
				  1.4-1971. "Specifications for Sound Level Meters," for Type 1 Meters; or
2. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC),
				  Publication No. 179 (1973). "Precision Sound Level Meters".
F. The microphone is located so that is points vertically
				  upward 6 inches to the right and directly in line with and on the same plane as
				  the occupant's ear adjacent to the primary noise source.
G. If the motor vehicle's engine radiator fan drive is
				  equipped with a clutch or similar device that automatically either reduces the
				  rotational speed of the fan or completely disengages the fan from its power
				  source in response to reduced engine cooling loads, the vehicle may be parked
				  before testing with its engine running at high idle or any other speed the
				  operator chooses for sufficient time, but not more than 10 minutes, to permit
				  the engine radiator fan to automatically disengage.
H. With the vehicle's transmission in neutral gear, the
				  engine is accelerated to:
1. Its maximum governed speed, if it is equipped with an
				  engine governor, or
2. Its speed at its maximum rated horsepower, if it is not
				  equipped with an engine governor, and the engine is stabilized at that
				  speed.
I. The A-weighted sound level reading on the sound level
				  meter for the stabilized engine speed condition referred to in H.1. or H.2.
				  above is observed and, if it has not been influenced by extraneous noise
				  sources, is recorded.
J. The vehicle's engine speed is returned to idle and the
				  procedures set out in paragraphs H. and I. are repeated until two maximum sound
				  levels within 2 dbA of each other are recorded, the two maximum sound level
				  readings are then averaged; and
K. The average obtained in accordance with paragraph J., with
				  a value of 2 dbA subtracted therefrom to allow for variations in the test
				  conditions and in the capabilities of meters, is the vehicle's interior sound
				  level at the driver's seating position for the purposes of determining
				  compliance with the requirements of this test procedure.

Current through June 17, 2024
DAYTIME COLOR SPECIFICATION PROPOSAL
The daytime color of the RETRO REFLECTIVE sheeting used to
				  enhance school bus safety requires different color tolerances in order to
				  assure optimum safety benefit as well as to be consistent with the color of the
				  school bus.
The color of the RETRO REFLECTIVE sheeting shall conform to
				  the table below when samples applied to aluminum test panels are measured as
				  specified in ASTM E1164. For colorimetric measurements, material is illuminated
				  by Standard Illuminant D65 at an angle of 45 degrees with the normal to the
				  surface the observations are made in the direction of the normal (45/0 degree
				  geometry). The inverse (0/45 degree geometry) with the illuminant at the normal
				  to the surface and the observations at 45 degrees with the normal to the
				  surface may also be used. For materials which are directionally sensitive (e.g.
				  prismatic sheeting), the colorimetric measurements are made using
				  circumferential illumination and viewing and the various measurements are
				  averaged. Calculations shall be done in accordance with ASTM E308 using the CIE
				  1931 (2 degree) Standard Observer.
