Pedestrian And Cyclist Detection
Pedestrian and cyclist detection recognises vulnerable road users and can brake automatically.
What is Pedestrian And Cyclist Detection?
It is part of many emergency braking systems. It uses camera and radar. Euro NCAP tests it. Some systems also detect cyclists crossing or riding ahead and can brake at junctions when turning across their path. Effectiveness depends on speed, lighting, the angle of approach and how quickly the person appears. Children or people partly hidden behind parked cars are harder to detect.
How it works
Software classifies objects as pedestrians or cyclists.
Why it matters for your car
Performance drops in darkness or bad weather. Stay alert in towns.
