It is a system, developed to prevent accidents which popularity are constantly growing. It detects a pedestrian, cyclist on a collision path with your car.
It uses the same sensors used in LDW or CTW systems – cameras, radar etc. to scan the road and roadsides for activity. Then, alerts the driver about the person or other subject standing on the side of the road or walking into the road. Some of such systems may urgently apply the brakes if the driver fails to respond.
According to Euro NCAP, this system has three characteristics:
- 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.
Technologies give an ability to increase the safety and many other useful things: reduce fuel consumption, find services you need worldwide and even run the car diagnostics with a smartphone and InCarDoc application.
