Improve Seat Belt Design & Comfort with Pressure Measurement
Challenge
Seat belts are a critical safety device in your vehicle but ineffective if not worn properly. Studies of why people don’t use their seat belts highlight comfort as a critical factor.
Solution
The I-Scan™ pressure and force mapping system can assist with comfort design of seat belts. I-Scan can measure the pressure that is experienced by the driver when the seat belt is pulled taut against the body, such as during extreme braking or collision conditions.
The I-Scan pressure mapping system provides data in real-time and 2D or 3D pressure displays. Areas experiencing high pressures can easily be identified, compared and adjusted to maximize comfort while maintaining the safety of the passenger.
Tekscan's sensor hardware captures data at 20kHz, suitable for high-speed impact testing. Our highly qualified sales and engineering support team can help you identify the sensors with the pressure ranges to measure for your specific data needs.
