Volvo Trucks Get New Smart Safety Features
, too, and the company that brought you the three-point safety belt and O2 lambda-sensing emissions controls is bringing some of the same great ADAS safety tech to its* big trucks.
Among the laundry list of new safety tech are two systems that seem to be original to Volvo Trucks and have cyclists in mind. Developed to increase the safety of pedestrians and cyclists while at the same time facilitating the work of the driver, the new Front Short Range Assist system was designed to detect a cyclist or pedestrian in the low-visibility “” in front of the truck. The system uses both front and radar cameras.
Volvo says its new safety features were developed to the EU’s updated General Safety Regulation policy, which will come into effect in July 2024. GSR, which makes several advanced driver support systems mandatory, aims to increase road safety and improve protection of drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, and expects the new laws to save some 25,000 lives by 2038.
