Phoenix Seating’s seat belt alert system could help ensure passenger safety
Phoenix Seating was at the show promoting its latest innovation in passenger safety.
The seating expert showcased ‘All Buckled Up’, which it claims is the first wireless seat belt alert system for the passenger transport market.
All Buckled Up has been designed to give an alert to the driver/attendant of any unbuckled seat belts. It does this with the use of audio and visual warnings.
“This system quickly and easily offers the driver peace of mind in the knowledge that all passengers are safely buckled up throughout the duration of the journey,” says Phoenix Seating.
“It’s made up of a receiver display and a series of transmitters mounted in each seat. It provides a clear indication, via a vehicle schematic on the receiver display, identifying whether the seat belt is buckled up or unbuckled.”
The system, which reached the final in Coach & Bus UK’s Innovation Challenge, was promoted as a must-have for school contracts, as well as community and welfare services.
Features include:
- Eliminates the potential danger caused by the driver turning around to check on passenger safety
- Display unit can be mounted to suit in the driver’s cab and is easily removed for security purposes
- Configuration of the vehicle layout for the handheld device is completed before the system is delivered to you. This means vehicle layout is needed in the early stages upon ordering All Buckled Up and accompanying seating ranges
- Wireless technology means there is no requirement for additional wiring throughout the vehicle as the transmitters are embedded in the seat
- Seats can easily be removed from the vehicle. No reconfiguration of the system is required as removed seats simply show as inactive on the display until they are reinstalled
- All seats are individually numbered in the production phase to mirror the vehicle layout
- Current system will afford future ‘add-ons’ which will add extra features.
All Buckled Up is only available for Phoenix Seating products.
