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 laptop and its dock to the sled from separating in a crash.
