Driver Assistance Systems
In-vehicle systems help drivers to avoid or to mitigate an accident through sensing the nature and significance of the danger, depending on the significance and timing of the threat.
These on-board eSafety systems will:
- - alert the driver as early as possible to an impending danger
- - warn him or her if there is no driver reaction to the first alert and actively assist or ultimately intervene in order to avert the accident or mitigate its consequences.
Preventive safety applications also help drivers to:
- - maintain a safe speed
- - keep a safe distance
- - drive within the lane
- - avoid overtaking in critical situations
- - safely pass intersections
- - avoid collisions with vulnerable road users
- - reduce the severity of an accident if it still occurs.
