IntelliSafe-driver support
IntelliSafe is the Volvo Cars concept concerning
car safety. It comprises a number of systems,
both standard and optional, that contribute to
making a car journey safe, to the prevention of
injuries and to the protection of passengers and
other road users.
Support
There are systems incorporated in IntelliSafe that
help the driver to drive the car in a safe manner.
The driver support functions incorporated in the
car include e.g. adaptive cruise control
*
, which
ensures that a constant distance is held between
the car and the vehicle in front.
Pilot Assist
*
helps the driver to keep the car
between the lane's edge markings, combined
with maintaining a preset time interval to the
vehicle ahead.
Park Assist Pilot
*
helps the driver park the car by
sensing the area around it.
Other examples of systems that help the driver
are the Active main beam, Cross Traffic Alert
(CTA)
*
and Blind Spot Information (BLIS)
*
sys-
tems.
Prevention
An example of a function that helps to prevent
accidents is City Safety. The function warns the
driver of risks of collision with another vehicle,
pedestrians, cyclists or larger animals. If the driver
does not react to the warning and the risk of col-
lision is imminent then City Safety can automati-
cally brake the car.
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)
*
is another example of a
function that helps to prevent accidents by warn-
ing the driver and giving corrective steering inter-
ventions if the car is about to cross a lane side
line.
Also available is the steering assistance function,
whose purpose is to reduce the risk of the car
unintentionally leaving the road and actively steer
the car back onto the road.
Protection
To protect the driver and passengers, the car is
equipped with seatbelt tensioners which can ten-
sion the seatbelts in critical situations and in col-
lisions. It also has airbags and inflatable curtains,
as well as Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
which protects against whiplash injuries.
