Collision avoidance system works on the principle of avoiding the collision by warning the operator of the threat or by taking an autonomous avoidance movement.
For your safety and security, Volvo ensures that you receive the best technology available with the Low
Speed Collision Avoidance System as well as the Side Impact Protection System.
A suite
of collision avoidance systems called Lexus Safety System debuts on RX, and likely will ripple through the Lexus and (in different form) Toyota model lines.
This will include discussing technologies such
as collision avoidance systems, says Mike Lissone of Eurocontrol, the pan-European air traffic control organisation.
The Highway Loss Data Institute compared insurance claims for the 2010 Volvo XC60 SUVs equipped with a forward
collision avoidance system with claims for other 2009 - 10 mid-size luxury SUVs that don't have the technology.
Britain's Civil Aviation Authority is on a collision course with the US Federal Aviation Authority over the use of an automatic on - board
collision avoidance system called TCAS 2.
File this one under pleasant non-surprises: thanks to some calculations by the Highway Loss Data Institute, it has been proven that cars with active
collision avoidance systems do actually avoid low - speed collisions by around 25 percent.
We'll dig into more advanced evolutions of autonomous braking and
collision avoidance systems like Audi's turn - assist system and Volvo's oncoming lane detection — which go so far as to monitor other lanes of traffic for threats and how this technology enables convenience features like adaptive cruise control in, you guessed it, a separate article soon.
2003: Honda introduced an autonomous braking (Collision Mitigation Brake System CMBS, originally CMS) front
collision avoidance system on the Inspire [39] and later in Acura, using a radar - based system to monitor the situation ahead and provide brake assistance if the driver reacts with insufficient force on the brake pedal after a warning in the instrument cluster and a tightening of the seat belts.
There is no doubt most active safety systems, such as
active collision avoidance systems, blind - spot warning systems and drowsy driver alert systems, work and work well.
Of course, the SQ7 also comes loaded to the nines with safety technology; this list sees Audi
pre-sense collision avoidance system, rear parking assist, cruise control and attention assist arrive as standard equipment, while active lane assist and a 360 - degree camera, among other things, sit on the option list.
Mercedes continues to improve upon its active and passive safety systems and case in point is the
PRE-SAFE collision avoidance system which was first introduced in the early 2000s.
Some had City Safety, a low - speed forward
collision avoidance system standard on certain models; some had an optional technology package that includes forward collision warning, lane departure warning and other features; and some had both.
It would seem to be offsetting safety gains from other technologies, including not just new
automatic collision avoidance systems, but even now taken - for - granted features like anti-lock brakes, which are equipped on a greater percentage of the U.S. fleet with each passing year.
Standard equipment includes a radar -
based collision avoidance system; Attention Assist which detects a drowsy driver; and Benz's Pre-Safe system, which closes windows, tightens belts, and adjusts front seats to prepare occupants for a collision.
A new HLDI study indicates that Volvo SUVs with a low - speed forward
collision avoidance system get into fewer crashes than comparable vehicles without the feature.
It came with Volvo's City
Safety Collision Avoidance System with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection and Avoidance, lane departure warning and lane keeping aid, a road sign information system that displays speed limits in the instrument cluster, driver alert control to watch for drowsy driving, adaptive headlights, blind spot detection and cross traffic alert, automated parking, and adaptive cruise control with full stop and go.
One - year field study involved 169 drivers operating 150 tractor - trailers from seven different motor carriers using two 2013 -
era collision avoidance system packages.
Forward collision avoidance systems, particularly those that can brake autonomously, along with adaptive headlights, which shift direction as the driver steers, show the biggest crash reductions in the studies by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI).
A new study by the Highway Loss Data Institute and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety finds that one kind
of collision avoidance system is already cutting... Read More
It includes all of the above - listed features, except for adaptive cruise control (and the more
advanced collision avoidance system that comes with it), the solar sunroof, premium Bang & Olufsen audio and the night vision camera — all of which remain stand - alone options.
All these input devices interact with features that include (amongst others) park, driver, lane departure and traffic assist, Audi
pre-sense collision avoidance system, as well as Adaptive cruise control.
This upgrade would finally allow the automaker to bless the G - Class with safety and convenience technologies that have graced its other offerings for years: Active lane - keeping assist,
Pre-Safe collision avoidance systems, and self - parking capability — all of which require the car to occasionally steer itself, a capability not compatible with the old hydraulic recirculating - ball steering system.
Standard features include City Safety low
speed collision avoidance system, LED daytime running lights, roll stability control, a multitude of airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners, whiplash protection system, dynamic stability and traction control, and emergency brake lights.
Also new for 2015 is a top - of - the - line Touring model that has unique features like a power open and close rear tailgate and the automaker's
collision avoidance system called Honda Sensing.
