Autoliv's ACR8: Revolutionary Active Seatbelt System Enhances Safety
Autoliv, a leading automotive safety supplier, has introduced the ACR8, a revolutionary seat belt system that actively shifts occupants into a safer position before a potential collision. This innovative system, available as a seat-integrated version with a reduced installation depth of 60 millimeters, promises enhanced safety without compromising comfort.
The ACR8 works by using the vehicle's sensors to detect critical driving situations. In such instances, the system repositions the occupant and holds them in the optimal seating position during hard braking or a potential collision. This active belt tensioner reduces belt slack, enhancing the functionality of the restraint system in an accident.
Moreover, the ACR8 can serve as a haptic signal transmitter. It can vibrate to warn the driver and provide additional reaction time in critical situations. The system interacts with emergency braking assist input for accurate belt activation, ensuring it only engages when necessary.
The ACR8 active seatbelt system, manufactured by Autoliv, offers additional safety in critical driving situations. It does not require separate NCAP self-certification for automakers to use, making it a practical and accessible safety enhancement. With its ability to actively shift occupants into a safer position and provide haptic warnings, the ACR8 is set to become a significant addition to vehicle safety features.
