Safe Vehicle Operation
Multiple factors can affect set following intervals
and create additional driving considerations. When
operating a vehicle with the OnGuard ACTIVE Collision
Mitigation System, it is important to remember:
•
OnGuard ACTIVE should only be considered as an
aid and is not intended to replace driver control
over the vehicle at any time.
•
Like cruise control in general, ACC should not be
used when weather, road surface or conditions
require longer following intervals and your full
control over the speed of the vehicle. Such
conditions may include: snow, sleet, rain, fog, icing,
etc.
•
When operating your vehicle, always use safe
driving techniques. The driver is always the most
important element in safe vehicle operation.
•
OnGuard ACTIVE is only intended to assist reaction
and response time. OnGuard ACTIVE is not a
substitute for proper driver braking and should be
considered only as a driver assistance system.
Unintended Events
The OnGuard ACTIVE collision mitigation system
is engineered to prevent and/or mitigate as many
accidents as possible. Radar technology is not perfect;
in every system it is possible that an unintended
braking event may occur.
In the rare event that you experience a false alert, or
unintended braking event, you may experience the
following sequence of events:
•
Less than 0.4 seconds of braking.
•
The truck and trailer brake lights will illuminate.
•
Your OnGuard ACTIVE display screen will change
to a collision warning (red).
OnGuard Collision Mitigation System Operation
This article provides brief operation instructions for an OnGuard Collision Mitigation System.
Overview
WABCO’s OnGuard ACTIVE is a radar-based active
safety system that offers Adaptive Cruise Control,
Forward Collision Warning and Collision Mitigation.
OnGuard ACTIVE detects objects ahead and measures
the vehicle’s position and speed in relation to other
vehicles on the road to warn the driver of a possible
collision by providing audible, visual and haptic
warnings. The system will apply the brakes to reduce the
risks and severity of rear-end collisions.
OnGuard ACTIVE is not intended to replace driver
control of the vehicle at any time. You, as the driver,
remain in control of your vehicle and determine the
actions that are necessary for safe operation.
Adaptive Cruse Control
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) automatically adjusts
the speed of your vehicle while in cruise control and
attempts to maintain a set following interval of 3.6
seconds when there is a vehicle ahead. ACC works
with conventional cruise control to maintain the set
cruise speed when the lane ahead is clear and will
automatically adjust the vehicle’s speed to maintain the
set following interval when a vehicle ahead is detected.
Collision Mitigation System
OnGuard ACTIVE’s Collision Mitigation System (CMS)
assists the driver in recognizing and responding to
dangerous driving scenarios that could lead to a
rear-end collision. The system responds by sending
warnings, automatically reducing engine torque and
applying foundation brakes. OnGuard ACTIVE’s CMS
provides both visual and audible alerts through an in-
cab dash display. If a potential collision is developing
and the driver does not take action to decelerate the
vehicle, OnGuard ACTIVE’s active braking feature issues
a haptic warning (short brake pulse) and automatically
de-throttles the engine. If a potential collision still exists,
and the driver still has not taken the appropriate action,
OnGuard ACTIVE’s CMS will apply the foundation
brakes. When OnGuard ACTIVE applies your vehicle’s
brakes, your brake lights will come on.
The active braking application is intended to assist
the driver to avoid or reduce the severity of a rear-end
collision. The driver must take the appropriate corrective
action in response to the collision warning. OnGuard
ACTIVE warnings will not be issued below a vehicle
speed of 15 mph.
