Compared to two-point harnesses, three-point harnesses are designed to provide additional
safety to occupants to lessen injury. By preventing the pay-out of seat belt webbing
designed to protect people and instead using the pretensioner to immobilize equipment, a
higher degree of protection is provided in the event of a collision.
Through standardized safety testing of the Mobile Collection system, Itron has determined
that preventing extensive rotation of the Mobile Collection equipment in a driver's side
impact reduces the stress on mechanical systems to acceptable levels. Decreasing the
amount of equipment rotation towards the driver prevents the fasteners holding the Mobile
Collection computer and its dock to the sled from separating in a crash.
The seat belt pretensioner can be used in vehicles equipped with single-pass seat-belt
tongues and multiple-pass seat belt tongues.
