Volvo’s city buses are being fitted with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection. The new system is a combination of camera-based technology, an image processor and algorithms for recognition of pedestrians and cyclists.
The system also includes a background sound to alert other road users to the bus’s approach. And if an incident is likely to occur, the bus’s horn is automatically activated. The alerts are activated when a potential hazard occurs.
The self-driving FMX truck is part of a research and development project involving autonomous vehicles, intended to create greater business advantages for customers, mainly in the mining industry.
