Detecting obstacles with City
Safety
52
City Safety can help the driver detect other
vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedes-
trians.
Vehicles
City Safety can detect most vehicles that are
stationary or are moving in the same direction
as your vehicle. In some cases, it can also
detect oncoming vehicles and crossing traffic.
For City Safety to be able to detect a vehicle in
the dark, its headlights and taillights must be
on and clearly visible.
Cyclists
Examples of what City Safety would interpret to be a
cyclist: clear body and bicycle shapes.
DRIVER SUPPORT
For good performance, the system's function
for cyclist detection needs the clearest possi-
ble information about the contours of the bicy-
cle and of the cyclist's head, arm, shoulders,
legs, torso and lower body in combination
with normal human movements.
If large portions of the cyclist's body or the
bicycle itself are not visible to the function's
camera, it will not be able to detect a cyclist.
The system can only detect adult cyclists rid-
ing on bicycles intended for adults.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup-
port, but it cannot detect all cyclists in all
situations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured cyclists.
•
cyclists if the background contrast of
•
the cyclist is poor - warning and brake
interventions may then be late or not
occur at all.
cyclists in clothing that hides their
•
body contour.
bikes loaded with large objects.
•
The driver is always responsible for ensur-
ing that the vehicle is driven correctly and
with a safety distance suitable for the
speed.
