Adaptive seatbelt geometry comprising a webbing guide

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• determining, by a system comprising a processor located on a vehicle, using at least one sensor of the vehicle, physiology of an occupant located in a seat of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises:
• a webbing guide device comprising a guide pin that is adjustable along a first axis by a motor of the webbing guide device, and
• a seat belt comprising a seat belt webbing, wherein an edge of the seat belt webbing abuts the guide pin when the seat belt is worn by the occupant in the seat of the vehicle, wherein movement of the guide pin along the first axis moves a portion of the seat belt webbing comprising the edge of the seat belt webbing that abuts the guide pin along a second axis that is substantially horizontal, and wherein the first axis is different from the second axis;
• determining, by the system, using the at least one sensor, a position of the seat belt webbing relative to the physiology of the occupant;
• and
• controlling, by the system, the motor to adjust the guide pin to a first position on the first axis that adjusts the seat belt webbing to a second position on the second axis based on the physiology of the occupant to create a defined distance between a portion of the edge of the seat belt and a portion of a neck of the occupant.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor of a vehicle to cause the processor to:

• determine, using at least one sensor of the vehicle, physiology of an occupant located in a seat of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises:
• a webbing guide device comprising a guide pin that is adjustable along a first axis by a motor of the webbing guide device, and
• a seat belt comprising a seat belt webbing, wherein an edge of the seat belt webbing abuts the guide pin when the seat belt is worn by the occupant in the seat of the vehicle, wherein movement of the guide pin along the first axis moves a portion of the seat belt webbing comprising the edge of the seat belt webbing that abuts the guide pin along a second axis that is substantially horizontal, and wherein the first axis is different from the second axis;
• determine, using the at least one sensor, a position of the seat belt webbing relative to the physiology of the occupant;
• and
• control the motor to adjust the guide pin to a first position on the first axis that adjusts the seat belt webbing to a second position on the second axis based on physiology of the occupant to create a defined distance between a portion of the edge of the seat belt and a portion of a neck of the occupant.
