The primary and most crucial application of automotive seat belts is restraining vehicle occupants during accidents. Seat belts distribute the forces generated during a collision over a broader body area, reducing the risk of injury by preventing the occupant from moving forward. Seat belts often incorporate pre-tensioners and load limiters. During collision detection, pretensioners tighten the seat belt, reducing slack and ensuring the occupant is securely restrained. Load limiters allow a controlled amount of seat belt webbing to be released during a collision, minimizing the risk of injury.
Many modern vehicles are equipped with seat belt reminder systems. These systems use sensors to detect if passengers are not wearing seat belts and provide audible or visual warnings to encourage belt usage. Some advanced seat belts have sensors and technology to monitor passenger behavior. These smart seat belts can detect signs of drowsiness, erratic movement, or other unusual behavior and may provide warnings or communicate with vehicle systems to take corrective actions. However, seat belts also serve different functions, including child safety, integration with other safety systems, and adaptation to evolving vehicle designs and technologies in the automotive industry.
