Large animals
Examples of what City Safety interprets as large ani-
mals - standing still or walking slowly and with clear
body outline.
Good performance requires that the system
function that detects a large animal (e.g. elk
and horse) must receive the clearest possible
information about the body outline, requiring
the ability to identify the animal directly from
the side in combination with what is a normal
pattern of movement for the animal.
If parts of the animal's body are not visible to
the function's camera then the system cannot
detect the animal.
City Safety can also detect large animals in the
dark if they are illuminated by the car's head-
lamps.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup-
port, but it cannot detect all large animals
in all situations and, for example, cannot
see:
•
partially obscured large animals.
•
larger animals seen from the front or
from behind.
•
large animals that run or move quickly.
•
large animals if the background con-
trast for the animals is poor.
•
small animals such as dogs and cats,
for example.
Warnings and brake interventions could be
late or not occur at all. The driver is always
responsible that the vehicle is driven cor-
rectly and with a safety distance adapted
to the speed.
