Abstract: The present invention discloses an automatic door-integrated seatbelt 5 positioning system designed to improve passenger safety and convenience inside a vehicle. The system comprises a sliding rail mechanism mounted along the upper door frame and a movable seatbelt anchor attached to the rail, which allows the seatbelt to change its position based on the opening and closing movement of the vehicle door. When the vehicle door is opened, the seatbelt anchor moves forward 10 toward the door side, creating sufficient space for the passenger to enter the vehicle without obstruction. After the passenger is seated and the door is closed, the seatbelt anchor automatically returns to its secured position along the rail, positioning the seatbelt across the passenger's shoulder and chest in a proper safety configuration. The system enhances passenger accessibility, improves comfort during vehicle 15 entry and exit, and encourages consistent seatbelt usage. By integrating seatbelt positioning with door operation, the invention provides a practical improvement over conventional manually operated seatbelt systems and contributes to improved safety and ergonomics within modern vehicle interiors.
