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.
Pedestrians
Examples of what the system considers to be a
pedestrian: clear body contours.
For good performance, the system's function
for pedestrian detection needs the clearest
possible information about the contours of the
pedestrian's head, arm, shoulders, legs, torso
and lower body in combination with normal
human movements.
In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be
a contrast to the background, which could
depend on clothing, weather conditions, etc. If
there is little contrast, the person may be
detected late or not at all, which may result in
a delayed reaction from the system or no reac-
tion at all.
City Safety can detect pedestrians even in
dark conditions if they are illuminated by the
vehicle's headlights.
DRIVER SUPPORT
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup-
port, but it cannot detect all pedestrians in
all situations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured pedestrians, people
•
in clothing that hides their body con-
tour or pedestrians shorter than 80 cm
(32 in.).
pedestrians if the background contrast
•
of the pedestrians is poor - warning
and brake interventions may then be
late or not occur at all.
pedestrians who are carrying 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.
