| Popis: |
Traffic of heavy goods vehicles is an important component of transport in today’s cities. Much progress has been made to make it as safe and efficient as possible. In this paper, safety of heavy goods traffic at intersections is investigated. Special regard is given to the safety of vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians and cyclist. In the project INTERSAFE-2, solutions are being developed to reduce accident risks at intersections. One situation identified to be particularly dangerous for VRUs is the right turning of the heavy goods vehicle. This scenario will be specifically addressed by he intersection safety application developed on the Volvo Technology demonstrator vehicle in INTERSAFE-2. This paper describes the requirements for resolving the right-turning accident scenario, and will illustrate the resulting function concept of the demonstrator. |
