An active seat belt system is a safety device used in automobiles to link active and passive safety systems. It relies on a motor that retracts seat belt webbing in critical situations or before any accident. It can be activated using data from active safety systems, such as the electronic stability control and brake assist systems, in vehicles. It also utilizes data from environmental sensors, such as radar, which measure the relative speed and distance between the vehicles. It assists in improving the safety of the driver and passengers by removing the seat belt slack to reduce the forward movement of the body from the seat.
