Due to the large proportion of rear-end collisions in road accidents, Volvo Trucks developed a collision warning system with emergency braking. This system will help the driver effectively avoid and reduce the occurrence of rear-end collisions. It has been applied to Volvo Truck's new FH series.
“What do we start from asking questions about? What is the source of the problem?†The answer is “dispersion.†If you keep watching the traffic ahead of you while driving, then you don’t need such an early warning braking system.†Volvo Truck Traffic And Product Safety Director CarlJohanAlmqvist said.
The new system recognizes and monitors the vehicles in front through the radar and camera that work at the same time. It can avoid colliding with vehicles that are stationary in front or whose relative speed is within 70 kilometers per hour. When the system detects that the truck is hitting the vehicle in front at the current speed, it will automatically start a blinking red light pattern at the windshield to prompt the driver to concentrate on the road immediately.
Volvo Truck Collision Warning System with Emergency Braking
CarlJohanAlmqvist pointed out that "the new system does not replace the driver's functionality. We believe that they are the only way to ensure the safe driving of vehicles."
However, if the truck detects that the driver did not give any feedback when the accident is imminent, such as adjusting the steering wheel or the brakes, the warning system will be upgraded to a flashing red light with a beep to alert the driver. If there is still no response, the system will automatically take a soft brake. When all attempts fail, the emergency braking system will be activated and stop the truck completely by all means.
"In the vast majority of cases, the first warning alert was able to get the driver's attention, and in rare cases when the driver failed to respond, the emergency braking system could still prevent serious accidents," explains Carl Johan Almqvis. .
