Abstract:This report to the U.S. House and Senate Appropriations Committees summarizes recent research by NHTSA’s and other researchers regarding vehicle-based technologies intended to increase seat belt use. This includes four research topics: an observational evaluation of the effectiveness of current enhanced seat belt reminder systems; field operational tests to understand public reactions to prototype seat belt interlock systems (also termed “seat belt assistance systems”), particularly given the strong public pushback against seat belt ignition interlock systems in the 1970s; an evaluation of whether unbelted crash test requirements affect the optimal design of occupant restraint systems; and an investigation of whether sensor technology can detect seat belt use and misuse
