Collision warning system* - detection
of pedestrians
"Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Cyclist and Pedestrian Detection" is an aid to
assist the driver when there is a risk of collid-
ing with a pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle in
front that are stationary or moving in the same
direction.
Optimal examples of what the system regards as
pedestrians with clear body contours.
Optimal performance of the system requires
that the system function that detects pedes-
trians receives as unambiguous information
as possible about the contours of the body -
this implies the opportunity to identify the
head, arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lower
body combined with a normal human pattern
of movement.
If large parts of the body are not visible to the
camera then the system cannot detect a
pedestrian.
•
In order for a pedestrian to be detected
he/she must appear full-length and have
a height of at least 80 cm.
•
The system cannot detect a pedestrian
carrying larger items.
•
The camera sensor's ability to see pedes-
trians at dusk and dawn is limited - just
like the human eye.
•
The camera sensor's capacity to detect
pedestrians is deactivated when driving in
darkness and tunnels - even when street-
lights are lit.
WARNING
Collision Warning with Auto Brake &
Pedestrian Detection is an assistance tool.
This function cannot detect all pedestrians
in all situations and it cannot see e.g. parti-
ally obscured pedestrians, people in cloth-
ing that hides the contours of the body or
pedestrians shorter than 80 cm.
•
The driver is always responsible that
the vehicle is driven properly and with
a safety distance adapted to the
speed.
