Who\u2019s the leading car manufacturer when it comes to safety?\u00a0 Volvo has to be the obvious answer, as they are amazing at coming up with ingenious ideas for not only keeping passengers safe but pedestrians as well.\u00a0 But here\u2019s another world first from Volvo.\u00a0 Doug Speck, Senior Vice President Marketing, Sales and Customer Service at Volvo Car Group, introduced another trailblazing safety feature that is able to distinguish and detect a cyclist and then automatically brake for any cyclists that swerve out in front of the car.\u00a0 Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with full auto brake consists of a radar unit that sits unified with the car’s grille, a camera that is fitted in front of the interior rear-view mirror and a central control unit. \u00a0The camera defines the type of object in front of the car, and its high-resolution makes it possible to spot the moving pattern of pedestrians and cyclists. \u00a0The radar has been designed to detect objects in front of the car while calculating the distance that remains between the car and the object. \u00a0All information from the radar and camera are sent to the central control unit which continuously monitors and evaluates the current traffic state.<\/p>\n

The Volvo team have enhanced the present detection and auto brake technology which is used in many new cars, today.\u00a0 Volvo have called their cycle detection and response system: the Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with full auto brake. \u00a0All new Volvo cars will become equipped with pedestrian detection that incorporates this new cyclist detection technology.<\/p>\n

Research has shown that about 50 per cent of all cyclists that are killed in Europe have collided with a car.\u00a0 It\u2019s exciting to see how valuable and how massive this new safety feature will help save cyclists lives.<\/p>\n

Volvo states that the Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with full auto brake will be available in the new Volvo V40, S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 models in the second half of this year. http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/forex.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
