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.
Vehicles capable of being charged directly from the road during operation could become the next pioneering step in the development towards reduced environmental impact. The Volvo Group participates in several projects to find solutions for this future technology.
