Effects of Obesity on Seat Belt Fit [PDF]

Traffic Injury Prevention, 2012
Obesity has been shown to increase the risks of some types of injury in crashes. One way in which obesity may increase injury risk is by changing the routing of the belt relative to the underlying skeletal structures.Belt fit was measured in a laboratory study of 54 men and women, 48 percent of whom were obese, defined by body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/

Belt fit for children in vehicle seats with and without belt-positioning boosters

Traffic Injury Prevention, 2022
The purpose of the current study is to use 3D technology to measure in-vehicle belt fit both with and without booster seats across different vehicles among a large, diverse sample of children and to compare belt fit with and without a booster. Lap and shoulder belt fit were measured for 108 children ages 6–12 years sitting in the second-row, outboard ...

Acoustic diagnosis of driving belt physical condition in enclosures [PDF]

, 2008
Timing belt transmission is a key subsystem of international combustion engines. Faults in such belt systems lead to power loss, increased emissions and, in case of failure, may even cause severe damage to the whole engine.

Evaluation of static belt fit and belt torso contact for children on belt-positioning booster seats

Traffic Injury Prevention, 2021
Objective: Previous studies have indicated that gap between the seatbelt and torso (reduced belt torso contact) for children on belt-positioning booster seats (BPBs) may lead to less torso engagement and increased likelihood of shoulder belt slip-off during evasive vehicle maneuvers, potentially increasing injury risk during crashes.

Child Posture and Belt Fit in a Range of Booster Configurations [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
Belt positioning boosters reduce injury risk for child occupants compared with seat belts alone. While boosters shorten the effective seat length (and thus reduce slouching), “boosting” the child relative to the vehicle interior components also achieves additional safety benefits.
