DETROIT ASSURANCE WITH ABA6 SUITE OF SAFETY SYSTEMS

ACTIVE BRAKE ASSIST 6

Active Brake Assist 6 (ABA6) with fused radar and camera technology, ABA6 provides automatic emergency braking to help mitigate potential collisions in a wide range of scenarios, including stopped vehicles in visible curves, stopped vehicles in adjacent lanes, and stationary or moving pedestrians in the roadway, helping enhance safety and support uptime.

• ABA6 can detect moving or stationary vehicles, pedestrians as well as bicyclists in the truck’s path. When the system identifies a potential obstacle, it provides audio and visual warnings and may initiate partial braking, followed by full braking if the driver does not respond.
• New Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) capabilities that further enhance system performance, including:
  • Multi-lane ABA
  • ABA in curves
  • ABA on vehicles positioned at angles and offset vehicles, such as those often seen when approaching an accident scene
  • Increased object classification ability
  • Increased field of view

CROSS TRAFFIC ASSIST

Cross Traffic Assist (CTA) is designed to bring added confidence to busy intersections by identifying and tracking vehicles crossing the truck’s path from either side. When a potential collision risk is detected, the system can provide an audible and visual warning and can initiate braking, typically partial braking and, depending on the likelihood of impact, full braking if needed.

SIDE GUARD ALERT 2

Side Guard Alert 2 (SGA2) alerts drivers to vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists on both driver- and passenger-sides – from the front of the cab to the end of a standard trailer. SGA2 is a passive collision mitigation system created to keep the driver in control. Rather than de-throttling or stopping the vehicle, the system warns the driver of moving people or objects on either side, alerting them before making a turn or lane change that could result in an incident.

ACTIVE SIDE GUARD ASSIST 2

Active Side Guard Assist 2 is engineered to bring greater confidence to every turn. It monitors objects on both sides of the truck and can apply braking if a turn is attempted when a potential collision risk is detected. For left-hand turns, the system monitors oncoming traffic to help identify potential collision risks when a signaled turn is attempted. For right-hand turns, it monitors pedestrians and objects in the passenger-side blind spot and can apply braking if a turn is attempted.

ACTIVE LANE ASSIST 2

Active Lane Assist 2 (ALA2) is a suite of lane-keeping features designed to help keep drivers and motorists safer. Using fused camera and radar technology, ALA2 can help keep the truck centered in its lane and can help correct lane drifting to support greater driver comfort with steering assistance in crosswinds, after blowouts, and during low-speed maneuvering.

• Lane Keep Assist (LKA) identifies lane markers and helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane. It also includes Attentive Driver Protection, which can actively bring the truck to a stop while keeping it centered in its lane and turning on the hazard lights if the driver becomes unresponsive.
• Lane Departure Protection (LDP) detects when the truck is drifting out of its lane without an active turn signal and actively steers it back on course.
• Lane Change Assist (LCA) can intentionally steer the truck back into its lane if attempting to enter an occupied lane to its right or left at speeds greater than 37 MPH even if the turn signal is applied.

FRONT GUARD ALERT

Front Guard Alert (FGA) helps expand driver awareness when stopped or at low speeds. Short-range radar units activate to detect pedestrians and bicyclists in the truck's path. If detected, this passive system uses a visual and audible alert to warn the driver of the risk, helping avoid incidents and improve safety.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) automatically adjusts cruising speed to help maintain a safe following distance from traffic ahead. When equipped with a Detroit engine and transmission, it can operate down to 0 MPH, including in stop-and-go traffic. For vehicles with third-party powertrains, it can operate down to 10 MPH.
