shoulders, legs, the upper and lower parts of the
body and a cyclist's normal pattern of movement.
•
If major parts of the cyclist's body are not
visible to the camera, the system cannot
detect the cyclist.
•
The cyclist must be an adult riding an "adult-
size" bike.
WARNING
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary
driving aid.
It cannot detect:
•
all cyclists in all situations, e.g., a partially
obscured cyclist will not be detected.
•
a cyclist whose clothing prevents a clear
view of the person's body contours.
•
a cyclist transporting a large object.
The driver is always responsible for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner.
Pedestrians
Optimal example of what the system considers to be a
pedestrian: clear body contours
To help function optimally, City Safety's function
for pedestrian detection needs clear information
about the person's head, arms, shoulders, legs,
the upper and lower parts of the body and a per-
son's normal pattern of movement.
In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be a
contrast to the background. If there is little con-
trast, the person may be detected late or not at
all, which may result in a late or no reaction from
the system.
City Safety can also detect pedestrians in dark-
ness with the help of the vehicle's headlights.
•
If major parts of the pedestrian's body are
not visible to the camera, he/she may not be
detected.
•
In order to detect a pedestrian, the system
must have a full view of the person's entire
body and the person must be at least 32 in.
(80 cm) tall.
WARNING
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary
driving aid.
It cannot detect pedestrians:
•
who are partially obscured, wearing cloth-
ing that prevents a clear view of the per-
son's body contours or who are not at
least 32 in. (80 cm) tall.
•
carrying a large object.
The driver is always responsible for operating
the vehicle in a safe manner.
