Crash sensing seat belt release system is an automatic seat belt release system designed mainly for passenger vehicles like cars, school buses, etc. It has a modified locking system which consists of a cylindrical coil in place of the conventional buckle which is used in three-point seat belt system in the vehicles, this modified buckle can overcome limitations of a conventional buckle, it works on the principle, that when a current is passed through a conductor, a magnetic force is produced, this generated magnetic force has adequate strength to hold the seat belt latch at its desired position and is capable to bear the impact of a collision which means it is able to restrict the movement of the occupants which is the main function of a seat belt system. The modified seat belt system consists of a buckle setup which includes a solenoid, which acts as a modified buckle along with a gyroscope which helps in determining the orientation of the vehicle, an accelerometer which is used to measure the impact of the collision and a developer board for managing operation of various components. The system is so designed that it will not release the seat belt until the orientation of the car is in a secure position so that no neck or shoulder injury is faced by the occupants.
