The FCM system is ready to intervene whenever the vehicle is traveling at speed above 15 mph (24 km/h). It
operates independently of the vehicle ACB and will intervene even if the cruise control is turned off or there is no
cruise set speed.
The FCM system is enhanced with the use of the FLC-20 windshield forward-looking camera. This camera
increases the performance of the collision mitigation system by visually detecting a forward object as a vehicle
and confirming with the ACB radar sensor its position within the lane of travel. With this increased object
recognition capability, the system is able to detect stationary vehicles.
If the forward vehicle is stationary, the FCM system will apply up to 66% of the braking power. The maximum
speed reduction is about 25 mph / 40 km/h. Note that this feature will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
Stationary Vehicle Braking SVB
SVB typically available above 15 mph (24 km/h). As part of the collision mitigation system, when a large,
stationary, metallic object in a vehicle's lane of travel is definitively identified as a vehicle (thru FLC-20 camera),
the driver is notified up to 3.5 seconds before impact. If the driver does not take action to address the potential
impact that caused the alert, the FCM system can automatically engage the brakes to assist the driver in
reducing the severity or potentially avoiding a collision with that stationary vehicle.
If the system cannot definitively identify the stationary object as a vehicle — for example, if the vehicle is not a
licensed motorized vehicle, or certain types of trailers — the driver will get up to 3.0 seconds of alert to address
the situation ahead, but no automatic braking will be applied. SVB is most useful when approaching a line of
stopped traffic or a stalled vehicle that is not immediately recognized by the driver.
The SVB is ready to alert the driver whenever the vehicle is moving above 15 mph (24 km/h). The driver should
be especially careful when approaching certain types of vehicles or objects. The system radar sensor may not
be able to detect vehicles with limited metal surfaces (such as recreational vehicles, horse-drawn buggies,
motorcycles, logging trailers, etc.). NOTE: Entering a curve may reduce the alert time.
CAUTION
Pedestrians, Animals, Non-metallic, or Limited-metallic Objects
The Prevost Driver Assist™ system will not warn or react to pedestrians, animals, and non-metallic objects.
The system may not warn or react to limited-metallic objects (such as recreational vehicles, horse-drawn
buggies, motorcycles, logging trailers, etc.).
Head-Up Display HUD
The FCM system is enhanced with a Head-Up Display (HUD) LED warning. The HUD project an intensive red
light that is reflected in the windscreen to warn the driver when the FCM detects potential collision.
HUD Diagnostic: At startup, the HUD warning LED shall be diagnosed for failures such as open circuit, short to
battery and short to ground. This shall be performed by activating the LED for a short time.
