In urban driving, some driving blind spots are often associated with safety hazards for pedestrians. In particular, blind spots are larger in the process of driving trucks turning right. In order to solve this potential safety problem, Volvo will perform laser scanning, infrared detection, electronic surveillance, and camera detection. Comprehensive integration of radio communications and other means is used to solve the problem of blind spots in trucks turning right.
Compared with sedans, there are more dead zones in trucks. Although many vehicles are equipped with more than four rearview mirrors to improve the rearward vision, it is still difficult for drivers to ensure timely observation of pedestrians and bicycles. Turning scenes increase the difficulty of obtaining peripheral visual information, which is a high-risk condition for hidden dangers in blind areas. According to relevant data, 20% of accidents involving trucks hitting pedestrians and bicycles occur when trucks turn right at the intersection.
If you are parking at a red light, the surrounding environment is constantly changing when the vehicle is at rest. If the driver is focused on something, such as a traffic light or finding a gap in the traffic flow in front, the situation behind the vehicle is difficult for the driver to grasp. In particular, bicycles can easily move through the gaps in motor vehicles. In this critical situation, alarm signals and reminder sounds are particularly important. The application of trucks in the urban areas is unavoidable, but the status quo of security issues still needs improvement, and the right shift is particularly focused on safety issues.
In response to this situation, Volvo aims to solve the blind spot of pedestrians and bicycles in the corner of the truck. Laser scanners and ultrasonic sensors are installed on the vehicle to monitor the area on the right side of the vehicle. If bicycles or pedestrians are too close, the signal light will be on, and the alarm will sound, prompting the driver.
