- Volvo’s innovation uses sensors to help belt to adjust its load
- The company states that it can help reduce injuries
- The multi -native safety belt will be presented at the former60
Volvo can say that it is part of the history of the humble seat belt, considering that the Swedish engineer and employee of Volvo Nils Bohlin perfected his three -point harness with the company in the late 1950s.
Now, he wants to inject a serious intelligence into a very simple device that has saved millions of lives over the years.
Thanks to the entrance of the crowd of sensors, cameras and calculation technology aboard the next ex60 (the elegant small brother of the former), the new Volvo multi -bar safety belt can provide the perfect tension in the unfortunate event of an accident.
Most regular safety belts have three variations in “load limitation” profile that help apply the appropriate load for conductors and occupants of different heights and pesos.
Attend
However, Volvo’s last invention presents 11 profiles that adapt to traffic variations and the person who uses it, thanks to real -time data of the advanced car sensors, according to the Swedish brand.
The sensors inside can detect the height, weight and position of the occupants’ seat, while the exterior sensor suite can analyze the characteristics of a crash and send the data to the belt to provide the appropriate load “in the open and close with an eye”.
And how will it help? Well, Volvo gives the example that the largest occupants in a severe shock will receive a higher belt load, while smaller occupants in a less severe shock will receive a softer load to avoid common injuries associated with standard safety belts.
Passive Tech is activated
Volvo states that he bases his research innovations on the research he has carried out in about 80,000 real -life accidents for five decades, with a continuous food that helps him make improvements.
It is one of the few automotive companies that has a dedicated accident investigation team that can attend the scene of an accident that occurs near its dripurgous headquarters.
Thanks to this constant source of data, its latest multi -amphative safety belt will apparently improve over time through air updates.
Volvo states that, as more data and ideas meet, his cars will improve his understanding of the “occupants, new scenarios and response strategies.” Smart things.
