Abstract

A seat belt monitoring system for registering and recording the physical conditions of occupants through an active restraint system commonly referred to as a seat belt, in commercial or private vehicles and other human-operated equipment. The restraint system is equipped with a data processor that allows body temperature and heart beat echo monitoring during normal operation of the vehicles. The system allows the occupant to view the complied information on a vehicle display located in the dash console.

Claims

1. A monitoring and data compiling system for active restraints in a vehicle comprising active usage indicating means for generating data when active restraints is engaged;

body temperature and heart beat echo are compiled and displayed for the occupant.

2. The monitoring system of claim 1, further comprising data, wherein said processor means receives and incorporates occupants physical data into said unified console display.

3. The monitoring system of claim 1, further comprising global monitoring means receives and incorporates physical body data into said unified console display.

4. The monitoring system of claim 1, wherein said active restraints usage indicating means is comprised of an electric response of said active monitoring restraint.

5. The monitoring system of claim 1, wherein said processor means is comprised of an embedded microcomputer.

6. The monitoring system of claim 5, wherein said processor means further comprises analog-to-digital conversion means for receiving temperature and heart data.

7. A monitoring and data system for active restraints in a vehicle comprising active restraint usage indicating means for generating a body temperature signal when said active restraint is engaged;

heart beat echo signal is monitored when active restraint system is engaged.

8. The monitoring system of claim 7, wherein said discrete events comprise:

the active restraint; and

the disengagement of said active restraint.

9. The monitoring system of claim 7, further comprising data, wherein said processor means receives and incorporates occupants physical body data into said unified console dash display.

10. The monitoring system of claim 7, further comprises global positioning means receives and incorporates occupants physical body data into said unified console display.

11. The monitoring system of claim 7, wherein said active restraint usage indicating means is comprised of a electric response of said active monitoring restraint.

12. The monitoring system of claim 7, wherein said processor means is comprised of an embedded microcomputer.

13. The monitoring system of claim 7, wherein said processor means further comprises analog-to-digital conversion means for receiving temperature and heart data.
