Europe Pedestrian Detection Systems Market News

  • July 2022: Volvo Trucks announced the launch of a new safety technology aimed at improving road safety. The device utilizes twin radars on each side of the truck to recognize when other road users, such as bicycles, enter the danger zone. Known as the Side Collision Avoidance Support system, it alerts the driver by flashing a red light on the appropriate side mirror when something is in the blind spot area. If the driver signals a lane change with the turn signal, the red light starts to flash, and an audible warning sound is emitted from the side of the potential accident. This provides the driver with timely information and the option to apply the brakes, allowing, for example, a bike to safely pass.
  • February 2022: Skoda Auto emphasized its commitment to prioritizing the safety of pedestrians and individuals on bicycles when developing new Skoda vehicles. During the development phase, over 200 separate pedestrian safety tests are conducted, with a focus on the most vulnerable parts of the human body in the event of an accident. The tests at the Aurel CZ laboratory simulate accidents involving adult or child head impacts on the bonnet or windscreen, thigh collisions with the bonnet, and lower leg impacts on the front bumper.
  • January 2022: Ficosa revealed its plans to replace the front mirror with a camera system in future commercial vehicles made by MAN. The front camera, currently part of a larger system called OptiView, focuses on the area just in front of the driver's cab. This enhanced visibility allows the driver to spot pedestrians or cyclists, particularly when starting the truck, thereby improving safety and preventing collisions.
