Design of seat belt ignition interlock system

Abstract

Seat belts are the crucial motor vehicle safety device to be developed. Seatbelts are the most effective method of reducing injury severity  and road fatalities in a motor vehicle crash. This research work focuses on the construction of a system in which the vehicle will only start  when the seatbelt is engaged. This system will increase the safety of the driver avoiding using the seatbelt in their vehicle thus bypassing  the existing system. This system will result in the increased passive system of vehicles, which will result in fewer deaths during an  accident. In this project work, a design prototype of an ignition interlock system has been constructed. It is a passive safety feature which  does now allow the vehicle to start until and unless the seatbelts of passengers are fastened.
