System Operation
The Side Defender
®
II system is designed to ignore stationary objects such as
guardrails and parked cars while alerting on moving objects such as bicyclists
and moving vehicles in the adjacent lane. The detection zone for the Side
Defender
®
II when the vehicle is stationary is 5 m fore and 5 m aft of the sensor
out to 3 m from the side of the vehicle. When in motion, the detection zone
expands to 6 m fore and 6 m aft of the sensor out to 3 m from the side.
Urban VRU Operation
At speeds of 19 mph (30 km/h) or less, the Side Defender
®
II gives a priority to
alerting the driver of moving bicyclists in the detection zone. A visual alert is
provided on the in-cab display when a moving object is detected while both an
audible and visual alert are provided when the turn signal is active and a moving
object is detected. Stationary objects such as street signs and parked cars are
ignored.
Lane Change Assist Operation
When vehicle speed is above 19 mph (30 km/h), the Side Defender
®
II gives
priority to alerting on moving vehicles in the adjacent lane. Stationary objects
such as guardrails or concrete barriers are ignored to minimize ‘nuisance alerts’.
This mode is optimized for blind zone collision mitigation during lane changes
and merging.
