- Seats and carpets were evaluated for generating static charges on vehicle occupants. Active measures that eliminate or reduce static accumulation, and passive measures that dissipate static charge in a controlled manner were investigated. The active measures include using durable anti-static finishes or conductive filaments in seating fabrics. The passive measures include adopting conductive plastics in a steering wheel, seat belt buckle release button, or door opening handle. The effectiveness of these measures was tested in a low humidity environment.
