Night Vision 2 with Pedestrian Detection   Autoliv proudly introduces our second generation Night Vision system with the world’s first advanced Pedestrian Detection capability. The system is based on Autoliv’s proven far-infrared night vision camera technology. Like our first generation Night Vision system, this system is sensitive to the infrared energy from warm objects and living beings and allows drivers to see in total darkness. As a result, the field of vision is not dependent on or limited to the illumination of the headlights.         Our improved infrared camera scans the road for pedestrians up to three times further than the headlight range. Once a pedestrian is detected, it is highlighted on the vehicle’s display. To provide an extra margin of safety, the system will also analyze the scene content and vehicle dynamics to determine if the pedestrian is at risk of being hit by the vehicle. Warnings are activated with enough time for the driver to react when a pedestrian moves into the vehicle’s path.       One of the challenges of driving at night is seeing pedestrians on the road ahead. While headlights can provide good illumination, objects at distances beyond 40 meters are usually not seen by a driver at night. Reduced visibility puts pedestrians and cyclists at greater risk. Studies have shown that the risk for fatal pedestrian accidents is almost four times higher at night than during the day*, and each year more than 3,500 pedestrians are killed at night. Night Vision 2 can help reduce those numbers.     Click here to View Video (*Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
