Large animals
City Safety in crossing traffic
WARNING
City Safety58 can assist the driver when turn-
ing into the path of an oncoming vehicle in an
intersection.
City Safety is supplementary driver sup-
port, but it cannot detect all large animals
in all situations and, for example, cannot
see:
partially obscured larger animals.
•
•
larger animals seen from the front or
from behind.
running or fast moving larger animals.
•
•
larger animals if the contrast of the ani-
mal's background is poor - warning
and brake interventions may then
occur late or not at all.
Examples of what City Safety would interpret as a
large animal: stationary or moving slowly and with
clear body contours.
smaller animals such as cats and dogs.
•
The driver is always responsible for ensur-
ing that the vehicle is driven correctly and
with a safety distance suitable for the
speed.
For good performance, the system's function
for detecting large animals (e.g. moose,
horses, etc.) needs the clearest possible infor-
mation about body contours. This entails
being able to detect the animal straight from
the side in combination with normal move-
ments for that animal.
Sector in which City Safety can detect an
oncoming vehicle in crossing traffic.
In order for City Safety to detect an oncoming
vehicle in situations where there is a risk of a
collision, that vehicle must be within the sec-
tor in which City Safety can analyze the situa-
tion.
