VOLVO REVEALS CAR WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION AND FULL AUTO-BRAKE SYSTEM
The new Volvo S60, equipped with the Scandinavian carmaker's pedestrian detection technology with full automatic brake system, is set to have its Philippine debut in the third quarter of 2010.
This was revealed by Viking Cars media relations officer Loi Concepcion-de Guzman after Volvo announced the S60's world premiere schedule at the Geneva International Motor Show in March. Viking Cars is the exclusive distributor of Volvo vehicles in the Philippines.
Volvo's latest safety breakthrough automatically applies full brakes on the S60 when it detects a pedestrian in front of the vehicle and when the driver does not respond to the detected object in time.
"We are truly proud of our success in making our technology so reliable that we can offer a complete system that can avoid a collision with a pedestrian by detecting, alerting and applying full braking," said Thomas Broberg, Volvo Cars senior safety advisor. "With this technology we have increased the braking force in our automatic braking system from 50 percent to full stopping power."
According to Volvo, the system can avoid striking a pedestrian at speeds of up to 35 kilometers per hour. At higher speeds, the system focuses on slowing down the car as much as possible prior to impact. Volvo hopes to reduce fatality risks to as much as 85 percent.
This is the second self-stopping car Volvo is bringing in to the Philippines after it introduced the new XC60 in May 2009. The XC60 is equipped with Volvo's City Safety technology that detects possible vehicular collisions and also applies automatic brakes to prevent low-speed crashes.

February 12th, 2010 03:42 PM #6I am loving Volvo's new designs. It's got something for pedestrian monitoring doesnt it? Oh that'd be fun to try out. But those tail lights remind of something. Not quite sure. Audi? Maserati 'boomerang' lights? Not quite sure, but I like them nonetheless.
