In India, vehicular collisions are attributed to causing a majority of accidents in commercial vehicles. Advanced active safety solutions like ZF’s OnGuardACTIVETM, Collision Mitigation Systems is essential to make driving safer and assist truck drivers in recognizing and responding to critical driving scenarios.
OnGuardACTIVE is an advanced driver assistance system that helps drivers mitigate or avoid rear end collisions. The system detects moving, stopped and stationary objects and provides visual, audible and haptic warnings. If necessary OnGuardACTIVE will apply the brakes to avoid or mitigate a forward collision
OnGuardACTIVE features adaptive cruise control where the system detects time to collision of the moving vehicle in front while in cruise. The system then remains a safe (3.6 seconds) following distance behind the followed vehicle and automatically will adjust its selected speed to remain that same distance behind.
ZF’s OnGuardACTIVE is a radar-only active safety system provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Active Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). When a collision is imminent, OnGuardACTIVE alerts the driver with a dedicated warning sequence. If the driver still does not take corrective action, OnGuardACTIVE automatically reduces engine torque and applies the foundation brakes to help prevent or mitigate the impending rear-end collision. OnGuardACTIVE’s newer higher-deceleration capabilities allow for complete stops at higher speeds on stopped, stationary and moving objects.
ZF’s OnGuardACTIVE’s event notifications and active interventions can be integrated into fleet management solutions, thus, it helps fleet owners to gain additional perspective into driving performance. Thus, OnGuardACTIVE, an advanced emergency braking system, helps reduce rear-end collisions to enhance a fleet’s overall safety record and decrease accident rates.
