The Sweden luxury car maker Volvo has claimed to have successfully developed a unique pedestrian detection system that can automatically bring a car to a halt as soon as it find someone stepping out in front of the vehicle.
As Volvo says, the new system incorporates a "support function" that uses a camera and radar technology to detect vehicles and pedestrians ahead of the car. The new technology has been developed in a bid to save lives in crowded urban streets.
Volvo claims that the new pedestrian detection technology remains active at all speeds. However, the technology doesn’t work in nights or poor weather.
It is to be mentioned here that there has been a considerable increase in the number of pedestrians killed in the road accidents in past few years. The rate is increasing day by day.
The Swedish company claims that its new pedestrian detection technology would be able to reduce the number of pedestrians killed by over 20 percent, while the number of pedestrians seriously injured would decrease by over 30 percent. The company also claims that the vehicles equipped with this technology would be able to entirely avoid a collision in over 30 percent cases.
