The integrated seat concept has been found to show promise as a safety device for both improving the performance of and increasing the usage of occupant restraint in automobiles. Although the most appropriate configuration for torso restraint is still open to question, it appears likely that lap and shoulder belts incorporated into the seat structure will prove to be a first step toward integrated occupant restraint. The incorporation of lateral restraint will constitute a step toward providing the occupant protection needed in side impact and other accident types that produce side acceleration components. Evaluation of integrated seats requires performance criteria. Occupant restraint performs as a system; criteria must be based on system performance rather than on individual components. (Author)
