Volvo is trying to promote its reputation for safety with the release of a new “multi-adaptive safety belt”, which uses real-time data from the vehicle sensor to improve the person wearing it.
Seatbelt technology has not changed much since Volvo is patent One of the first modern three-point security belts In the early 1960s. But there has been a lot of change in cars, adding sensors, cameras and high-strength computers to power advanced driver assist features and anti-cross technology.
Now, Volvo wants to keep those gadgets to work for the seatbelt. Use modern security belt Load boundaries To control how much the safety belt is applied to the human body during an accident. Volvo states that its new security belt expands the load-limited profile from three to 11 and increases the potential number of settings, allowing it to tailor its performance for specific conditions and individuals.
For example, Volvo can use sensor data to customize a seatbelt depending on a person’s height, weight, body size and seating position. For example, a large living, will get a high belt load setting to help reduce the risk of head injury in an accident, while a small person in a circle accident will get a low belt load setting to reduce the risk of rib fracture.
During an accident, Volvo says that the security system of its vehicles will share the sensor data-like direction, speed and passenger posture with the seatbelt to determine how much force has to be applied to the living body. And using over-the-air software updates, Volvo promised that the seatbelt could overcome over time.
Volvo has previously distracted from traditional practices to underline its commitment to safety to introduce new techniques. The company limits the top speed on all its vehicles to 112 mph – especially below 155 mph installed by A. “Gentleman’s agreement” between Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW To reduce the number of fatal on autoban.
