The report summarizes the results of a concentrated research effort concerning integrated seat/restraint systems. This research effort has determined the current state of the laws pertinent to the subject as well as defined the technological state of the art pertinent to such systems. Using the techniques of the systems engineer, a mathematical model has been developed which relates the occupant and his geometry to the mechanical and spatial conditions of the vehicle's seat and/or restraint system during a crash. Using similar techniques, a computer-oriented economics model has been proposed to measure the cost/benefit ratio for current and future seat and restraint systems. (Author)
