IntelliSafe-driver support
IntelliSafe is the Volvo Cars concept concerning
car safety. It comprises a number of systems
that contribute to making a car journey safe, to
the prevention of injuries and to the protection of
passengers from other road users.
Support
There are systems incorporated in IntelliSafe that
help the driver to drive the car in a safe manner.
Support systems incorporated in the car are e.g.
the adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise
Control)* that ensures that a constant distance is
held between the car and the vehicle in front.
Park Assist Pilot* helps the driver park the car by
sensing the area around it.
Other examples of systems that help the driver
are the Active main beam, Cross Traffic Alert
(CTA)* and Blind Spot Information (BLIS)* sys-
tems.
Prevention
An example of a function that helps to prevent
accidents is City Safety. The function warns the
driver of risks of collision with another vehicle,
pedestrians or cyclists. If the driver does not react
to the warning and the risk of collision is immi-
nent then City Safety can automatically brake the
car.
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)* is another example of a
function that helps to prevent accidents by warn-
ing the driver and giving corrective steering inter-
ventions if the car is about to cross a lane side
line.
Protection
The car is fitted with a seatbelt tensioner that can
tension the seatbelts in critical situations and col-
lisions to provide an even better protection. It is
also fitted with airbags and an inflatable curtain
for the driver and passengers.
