DETROIT ASSURANCE WITH ABA 5 SUITE OF SAFETY SYSTEMS

ACTIVE SPEED INTERVENTION

A system that helps drivers remain within the speed limit and adopt safe driving habits, Active Speed Intervention (ASI) works with Detroit’s Traffic Sign Display feature to issue a passive alert when a driver starts to speed. These alerts are followed by an active warning, de-throttling and adaptive cruise control adjustment, if necessary.

SIDE GUARD ASSIST

Side Guard Assist (SGA) alerts drivers of objects in their passenger-side blind spots. As a passive collision mitigation system, SGA won’t de-throttle or stop your vehicle. Instead, it keeps the driver in control. If the truck’s passenger side gets too close to a moving person or object, the system will warn the driver not to complete the right turn or make a right-hand lane change.

ACTIVE SIDE GUARD ASSIST

Active Side Guard Assist (ASGA) takes safety a step further. This industry-first technology engages at urban speeds (less than 12 mph) to prevent a truck from making a right turn into a moving cyclist or pedestrian.

ACTIVE BRAKE ASSIST 5

Active Brake Assist (ABA 5) mitigates potential collisions by calculating truck speed and distance to other vehicles. This determines if a warning or braking action is needed.

• Full Braking on Moving Pedestrian can detect a person who is about to walk into the truck’s path. It issues audio and visual warnings with simultaneous partial braking first, followed by full braking if the driver does not react.
• Full Braking on Moving and Stationary Vehicles can identify moving or stationary vehicles in the truck’s path. When the system detects a potential obstacle, it issues audio and visual warnings. Depending on the situation, partial and full braking may activate as well.

BRAKE HOLD MODE

Brake Hold Mode allows a driver to remove their foot from the brake pedal and keep their vehicle at a stop when sitting in stand-still traffic, at a weigh scale or a loading dock. Beyond the added comfort of removing your foot from the brake, this technology improves safety by preventing brakes from deactivating if the driver’s foot slips from the pedal while the truck is at rest.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TO 0 MPH

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to 0 MPH automatically adjusts a truck’s cruising speed to maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles. With the ability to remain in cruise control longer, drivers experience less fatigue throughout the day, keeping them more alert.

ACC works in stop-and-go traffic, too. When the vehicle in front of your truck begins to slow, even to a stop, your truck will stop and hold its brakes. If the stop is less than two seconds, you will start moving again once the vehicle in front of you moves. For stops longer than two seconds, the driver can easily resume motion by engaging the throttle or pushing set/resume.

ACTIVE LANE ASSIST

With the help of fused camera and radar technology, Active Lane Assist (ALA) keeps drivers safe and comfortable on the road. ALA features improve low-speed maneuverability, reduce road vibrations and increase ease of steering via micro-adjustments.

• Lane Keep Assist (LKA) identifies lane markers and helps the driver keep their vehicle centered in its lane.
• Lane Departure Protection (LDP) detects when the truck is drifting out of its lane and actively steers it back on course.
• Lane Keep Assist with Auto Stop helps protect the driver and surrounding traffic in the unlikely event that the driver becomes incapacitated. The technology will actively bring the truck to a stop while keeping it in its lane.
