Volvo is looking to strengthen its reputation for safety by release a new “multi -adaptable seat belt” that uses data in actual time from the car sensors to protect the person who wears it better.
Security belt technology has not changed much since Volvo’s patent One of the first safety belts of three modern points In the early 1960s. But cars have changed dramatically, as high -power sensors, cameras and computers added to develop advanced drivers assistance features and bonus technology.
Now, Volvo wants to put these tools to work in safety belts. Using modern safety belts Loading determinants To control the amount of strength that applies the seat belt to the human body during the accident. Volvo says its new seat belt expands the features of limiting pregnancy from three to 11 and increases the potential number of settings, allowing it to design its performance with specific positions and individuals.
As such, Volvo can use sensor data to customize seat belts based on a person’s length, weight, body shape and sitting. For example, a larger occupant will get a higher belt to help reduce the risk of head injury in a collision, while the smaller person in a more moderate crash will receive a lower belt preparation to reduce the risk of rib fractures.
During a collision, Volvo says that safety systems in their vehicles will share sensory data-such as direction, speed and passenger position-with multi-adaptable seat belts to determine the amount of strength that must be applied to the concern body. And the use of program updates via air, Volvo is that safety belts can improve over time.
Volvo has already deviated from traditional practices to provide new technologies aimed at emphasizing its safety commitment. The company limits the maximum speed on all its vehicles to 112 miles per hour – especially less than 155 miles per hour “Gentman Agreement” between Mercedes -Benz, Audi and BMW To reduce the number of deaths on autobahn.
