METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING AND MITIGATING DEPENDENT RISKS FROM IMPROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT USE

A safety equipment monitoring system for a vehicle includes a vehicle processor for storing vehicle data including one or more of vehicle event data, vehicle occupant data, and restraint system data. The safety equipment monitoring system also includes a server communicatively coupled with the vehicle processor and configured to determine a baseline desired location of a restraint based on the vehicle occupant data and the restraint system data. The server is also configured to determine if any deviations to the desired location of the restraint have occurred based on one or more of vehicle event data and the restraint system data.
