The Bucklemeup solution consists of multiple compact and discreet wireless seatbelt sensors combined with a dashboard-mounted console. When a seatbelt is unlatched or forgotten, a notification is displayed to alert the driver and ensure passenger safety is always maintained.
Boost Design undertook extensive testing and engineering to optimise the patented contactless sensor design and wireless communication, to ensure reliable operation with minimum battery consumption. The resulting system can be easily fitted to almost all passenger vehicles, allowing older vehicles to become compliant with the latest industry safety regulations in a matter of minutes.
