The new Volvo S60 is equipped with every modern technological solutions to enhance safety. Among them was a recent pedestrian detection system, fully automatic inhibition - Pedestrian Detection. This is the first car in the world to such an extent to protect pedestrians. As a result, more and more intense daily traffic comes to accidents involving pedestrians. In Europe, over 14% of all accident fatalities, it is pedestrians.
Pedestrian Detection, or pedestrian detection system with automatic inhibition includes radar (located at the air intake grille), a camera positioned and integrated with an internal rear-view mirror and a special computer control (central unit control system). The task of radar detection and measurement of the distance approaching the facility. In turn, the camera determines the type of facility, and the computer calculates the possibility of the existence of conflicts and react appropriately.
The system first warns the driver of a beep and flashing light reflected from the top of the windshield. If the driver fails to respond to these warnings, according to the assessment of collision would be unavoidable, be included with the full power of the brakes of the car.
Pedestrian Detection avoids a collision with a pedestrian at a speed of 35 km / h. At higher speeds, the system still works with the focus on the greatest possible reduction of the car's speed before the collision. The speed of the car can be reduced by up to 35 km / h. The system detects people with increases above 80 cm in height, which also includes the presence of children on the road.
