Backover Avoidance Technology Study
November 2006REPORT TO CONGRESS
National Highway Traffic Safety AdministrationU.S. Department of Transportation Washington, DC 20590 Slide7
Original equipment sensor detection systems are marketed as parking aids and do not purport to detect people. Typically, the vehicle owners’ manuals contain cautionary warnings that tell drivers the limitations of the technology as a pedestrian detection system. Examples of these warnings are
shown below:“This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to assist the driver in detecting objects to avoid damaging the vehicle. The system may not detect smaller objects, particularly those close to the ground.”
2007 Lincoln Navigator “
Sensors have dead spaces in which objects cannot be detected. Be especially alert for small children and animals since they are not always detected by the sensors.” 2004 Audi A8 Slide8
Testing showed that the performance of sensor-based (ultrasonic and radar) parking aids in detecting child pedestrians behind the vehicle was typically poor, sporadic and limited in range. Based on calculations of the distance required to stop from a typical backing speed, detection ranges exhibited by the systems tested were not sufficient to prevent collisions with pedestrians or other objects
.
Of the technologies tested for their potential to reduce backover incidents, the camera based systems may have the greatest potential to provide drivers with reliable assistance in identifying people in the path of the vehicle when backing. Slide9
