Introducing the first multi-adaptive seatbelt technology in Volvo EX60 EV
Volvo Introducing a new seatbelt technology that can customize the protection of real time. Since the “Multi-Adaptive Safety Belt Belt” system, the vehicle manufacturer calls it, using the data input from the interior and external sensors to change the protection settings based on various factors. It can be considered a person’s height, weight, body shape and seating position, as well as the direction and speed of the vehicle. The system can inform that information to the “eye -eyed” seatbelt so that it optimizes protection to the passenger.
If the passenger is on the large side, for example, they receive a high belt load setting to reduce the risk of head injury in the event of severe crash. For light crashes, someone with a small frame receives a low belt load setting to prevent rib wounds. Volvo does not specify whether the location of the seatbelt on the system women is also considered, as it is not always enough on a woman’s chest. However, the vehicle manufacturer explained that the number of system load-enhancing profiles would expand to 11. Load limits regulate how much power the seatbelt applies to the body during crash. Generally, seatbelt has only three load-limit profiles, but Volvo extends them to 11, which means that the system will optimize the protection available to a passenger.
Volvo has used information from more than 80,000 people involved in real life accidents to create a new security belt from five decades of security research. The system has also been created to include improvements through air software updates, which the company hopes to release it when receiving more data and insights.
“How can we affect real-time data with the hope of saving another milestone and millions of people to save more lives for the World First Multi-Adaptive Safety Belt Automotive Safety,” said Volvo Cars Safety Center Head Osa Hugland. “It represents the main update to the modern three-point safety belt. The Volvo invention introduced in 1959 is expected to save a million lives.”
Volvo Engineer Nils Bohlin created a modern three-point seatbelt and its patent was made available for the use of other motorists. The company does not mention whether it is so generous with a multi-adaptive safety belt, but the new system begins in al-electric Volvo Ex60 Medium SUV A short time next year.
