Vehicles
City Safety detects most types of vehicles that are either stationary, moving in the same direction as your vehicle or those described in the article "City Safety in crossing traffic."
In order for City Safety to detect a vehicle in darkness, its headlights and taillights must be on and clearly visible.
Cyclists
To help function optimally, City Safety's function for cyclist detection needs clear information about the bike itself and the rider's head, arms, 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 a bike intended for an adult.
Warning
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary driving aid and cannot detect all cyclists in all situations, such as:
- a partially obscured cyclist.
- 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
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 person's normal pattern of movement.
In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be a contrast to the background. If there is little contrast, the person may be detected late or not at all, which may result in a late or no reaction from the system.
- 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.
- City Safety can also help detect pedestrians in dark conditions if they are in the path of the vehicle's headlights.
Warning
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary driving aid.
It cannot detect pedestrians:
- who are partially obscured, wearing clothing that prevents a clear view of the person's body contours or who are not at least 32 in. (80 cm) tall.
- who have limited contrast to their immediate background. A warning or braking may be delayed or not come at all.
- carrying a large object.
The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
Large animals
To function optimally, the system feature for detecting large animals (moose, horses, etc.) must receive as clear information about body contours as possible. This entails being able to detect the animal straight from the side and assumes that the animal has a normal pattern of movement.
If parts of the animal's body are hidden from the camera, the system cannot detect this animal.
City Safety can also help detect large animals in dark conditions if they are in the path of the vehicle's headlights.
Warning
City Safety is designed to be a supplementary driving aid.
It cannot detect large animals in all situations such as:
- large animals that are partially obscured
- large animals straight from the front or rear
- large animals that are running or moving quickly
- large animals that have limited contrast to their immediate background. A warning or braking may be delayed or not come at all.
- smaller animals such as dogs or cats
The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
