THE WORLD’S FIRST PERSONALIZED RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM
PROVIDING OPTIMIZED SAFETY FOR EVERYBODY
A PROJECT BY
OUR VISION
OPTIMAL SAFETY FOR EVERYBODY IN EVERY SITUATION
For the first time, touchless 3D imaging sensors are used to derive precise real-time information about each occupant: situational factors like body position and body crash dynamics as well as body physique, age and gender. Based on this information, smart-RCS computes the optimal airbag deployment strategy tailored to each individual occupant.
By taking those relevant factors into account, smart-RCS optimizes the protective function while simultaneously mitigating the risks of doing avoidable harm. smart-RCS aims to disrupt the passive safety systems market by introducing personalized and situation-aware protection.
SITUATIONAL-AWARENESS
Each crash situation is different. To maximize protection, smart-RCS considers situational factors such as body position & dynamics.
EQUAL PROTECTION
Current passive safety systems cannot sufficiently adapt to individual occupant characteristics resulting in fatal consequences.
LEVEL 4+ READINESS
Since occupants will be able to move more freely within automated vehicles, intelligent passive safety systems must be in place.
The smart restraint control system will adapt airbag deployment depending on each occupant’s individual body metrics and situation. smart-RCS will provide optimized protection for every vehicle occupant.
