Automatic Safety Belt Release System: Improving Evacuation and Post-Crash Rescue Response [EA911, Botswana]

08.03.26

The Automatic Safety Belt Release System is a prototype‑stage safety innovation designed to reduce post‑crash entrapment in vehicles. The system uses multiple emergency sensors connected to a central control unit that activates a controlled belt release mechanism after verified emergency conditions and programmed safety delays. Designed as a retrofit concept, the project aims to improve evacuation times and support faster rescue responses in fire, rollover, impact, or water‑submersion incidents.
