Abstract
This report summarizes the analyses, design, and testing that were conducted to develop an airbelt restraint system for the subcompact car capable of protecting the passenger in frontal and frontal oblique crashes up to 50 mph. The result of this work has been the development of a rapidly inflating 3-point airbelt mounted to three stroke efficient energy-absorbing belt anchors. The system ultimately proved capable of protecting subcompact car passengers throughout the adult anthropometric size range at velocities exceeding 50 mph
