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 ...
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).
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.
Autonomous: the system acts independently of the driver to avoid or mitigate the accident. Emergency: the system will intervene only in a critical situation. Braking: the system tries to avoid the accident by applying the brakes. Time-to-collision could be a way to choose which avoidance method (braking or steering) is most appropriate. [6]
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 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.
Automotive night vision with pedestrian detection; Blind spot monitoring; Driver Monitoring System; Robotic car or self-driving car which may result in less-stressed "drivers", higher efficiency (the driver can do something else), increased safety and less pollution (e.g. via completely automated fuel control) Precrash system; Safe speed governing
