Evaluation of the static belt fit provided by belt-positioning booster seats
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2009Belt-positioning booster seats are recommended for children who use vehicle seat belts as primary restraints but who are too small to obtain good belt fit. Previous research has shown that belt-positioning boosters reduce injury risk, but the belt fit produced by the wide range of boosters in the US market has not previously been assessed.

Effects of Driver Characteristics on Seat Belt Fit
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2013A laboratory study of posture and belt fit was conducted with 46 men and 51 women, 61% of whom were age 60 years or older and 32% age 70 years or older. In addition, 28% of the 97 participants were obese, defined as body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m^2. A mockup of a passenger vehicle driver's station was created and five belt anchorage configurations were ...

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2001
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Vehicle seat belt efficacy relates directly to the extent that occupant anthropometric dimensions align with the seat belt geometric design. Transport Canada researched and developed a Belt Fit Test Device (BTD) to assess potential occupant injuries resulting from incongruities between seat belt design and occupant

Analysis of Lap Belt Fit to Human Subjects using CT Images
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2022In vehicle collisions, the lap belt should engage the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS). In this study, threedimensional (3D) shapes of bones and soft tissues around the pelvis were acquired using a computed tomography (CT) scan of 10 male and 10 female participants wearing a lap belt.

Effect of Class I–III obesity on driver seat belt fit
Traffic Injury Prevention, 2021Approximately 40% of the U.S. adult population are obese. An issue associated with this trend is proper seat belt fit for obese occupants. This study extends previous research, in which few individuals with high BMI (> 40 kg/m2) were included, by examining the relationship between participant and belt factors on belt fit for drivers with Class I-III ...

The Geometrical Basis of Seat-belt Fit
Ergonomics, 1974It is proposed that problems of seat-belt fit may be examined by planar development, since when the surface over which the seat-belt passes is developed, its path becomes a straight line. A simple geometrical representation of the occupant is suggested for use with such development methods, together with suitable dimensions representing 10th percentile

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2013
A laboratory study was conducted to quantify the effects of belt-positioning boosters on lap and shoulder belt fit. Postures and belt fit were measured for forty-four boys and girls ages 5-12 in four highback boosters, one backless booster, and on a vehicle seat without a booster. Belt anchorage locations were varied over a wide range.

Evaluating an intervention to improve belt fit for adult occupants
Journal of Safety Research, 2018Previous laboratory studies have demonstrated that some drivers position their seat belts suboptimally. Specifically, the lap portion of the belt may be higher and farther forward relative to the pelvis than best practice, and the shoulder portion of the belt may be outboard or inboard of mid-shoulder.

America's Bible Belt Doesn't Fit Anymore
Review & Expositor, 2004In this article the thesis is set forth that the old idea of the Bible Belt of the South has to be replaced with new imagery in light of migration trends, secularization, and cultural shifts occurring in the United States. The concept of sandals suggests the idea of the “going dimensions of the Great Commission.” Developing cross-cultural competency ...
