Abstract: The proposed field study will examine seat belt use and consumer acceptance for a subset of emerging occupant protection technologies designed to increase seat belt use. The information collection involves eligibility, demographic, and debriefing questionnaires. The information will be used to recruit participants for a field study on occupant protection technologies and to get information from study participants about their experience with such systems. The study focuses on occupant protection technologies that restrict some vehicle functionality, permanently or temporarily, when they detect that a vehicle occupant is not wearing a seat belt.
