City Safety is an auto brake technology developed by Volvo Cars, designed to reduce or avoid traffic accidents.It comes in two generations, with the first operating at speeds up to 30 km/h (19 mph) and the second, functioning at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph).
If a match is made and confirmed, the other systems in the PCAM are invoked. [5] [6] PCAM technologies can be improved with additional information from connected vehicles. [7] A thorough description of the processes for pedestrian detection in about 2010 is provided in . AI technologies have improved dramatically since then, as can be seen in ...
Pedestrian detection is an essential and significant task in any intelligent video surveillance system, as it provides the fundamental information for semantic understanding of the video footages. It has an obvious extension to automotive applications due to the potential for improving safety systems. Many car manufacturers (e.g. Volvo, Ford ...
2013: Volvo introduced the first cyclist detection system. All Volvo automobiles now come standard with a lidar laser sensor that monitors the front of the roadway, and if a potential collision is detected, the safety belts will retract to reduce excess slack. Volvo now includes this safety device as an option in FH series trucks.
The sequence of events in a car-pedestrian crash. Many pedestrian crashes involve a forward moving car (as opposed to buses and other vehicles with a vertical hood/bonnet). In such a crash, a standing or walking pedestrian is struck and accelerated to the speed of the car and then continues forward as the car brakes to a halt.
The pedestrian detection feature alerted the driver with an audio warning and visually enclosed the pedestrian in a box on the display which was presented via head-up display. [33] [34] The night vision system uses a separate heads up type display projected on the center bottom of the windshield. The infrared cameras do not require a light ...
The terms "active" and "passive" are simple but important terms in the world of automotive safety. "Active safety" is used to refer to technology assisting in the prevention of a crash and "passive safety" to components of the vehicle (primarily airbags, seatbelts and the physical structure of the vehicle) that help to protect occupants during a crash.
2010 – Pedestrian Detection with Auto Brake, a system that warns the driver and automatically brakes the car when a collision with a pedestrian in front of the car is imminent (S60) 2012 – pedestrian airbag , covering the A-pillars and the lower part of the windscreen in case of collision with a pedestrian ( Volvo V40 )
