![]() The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) was introduced as standard equipment for Mercedes-Benz touring coaches as early as 2003. ESP: significantly reduces the risk of skidding, ATC for articulated buses It is therefore practically impossible to inadvertently exceed the speed limit when driving downhill. The continuous braking limiter brakes the touring coach by means of the retarder when the statutory downhill speed limit of 100 km/h is exceeded. Continuous braking limiter: safe downhill driving Combined with the reinforced A-zero pillars and a defined frame structure which steers impact forces directly to the substructure in a collision, the new Citaro even conforms to the swing-bob impact test for touring coaches as specified in the European regulation ECE R 29. Crash impact absorber: protection for the Citaro driverĪn outstanding safety feature in the front end of the Citaro city bus is the impact-absorbing collision protection element. This reduces the stopping distance and helps to prevent accidents. It identifies an emergency braking situation by the speed at which the brake pedal is operated and immediately applies a significantly higher brake pressure.

If a predefined value is exceeded the driver is prompted by the system to take a break. Attention Assist correlates the data recorded and the adapted driver profile to extrapolate the driver’s reaction speeds and level of fatigue. ![]() Attention Assist: looks out for the driverĪttention Assist is a safety system that constantly monitors information about the condition of the driver using a variety of criteria such as steering movements and activation of the brakes, operation of the turn signal indicator, vehicle speed and the time of day. ABA 4 will be standard equipment in the high-deck Mercedes-Benz Tourismo from the first quarter of 2019. This enables the driver to avoid a collision by means of maximum full-stop braking or a steering manoeuvre. It is the first system of its type to perform such functions. It additionally warns the driver of imminent collisions with moving pedestrians and simultaneously automatically initiates partial braking. ![]() Active Brake Assist can actively prevent accidents occurring, or at least reduce the speed of impact and therefore the severity of the consequences of an accident.Īctive Brake Assist 4 with pedestrian detection is the result of consistent further development and represents a new milestone. Continuously developed and enhanced ever since, Active Brake Assist detects an acute risk of a rear-end collision with a stationary or slower-moving vehicle in front and emits a series of warnings before initiating partial and then maximum full-stop braking. Active Brake Assist: actively helps to prevent rear-end collisionsĪctive Brake Assist (ABA) actively helps to prevent rear-end collisions and can therefore save lives: Active Brake Assist (ABA) was first introduced in Mercedes-Benz touring coaches in 2008. This system largely relieves the driver of the burden of braking to adjust the vehicle’s speed in medium to heavy traffic on trunk roads and motorways. If there are no vehicles in front, it works like a conventional cruise control system. The proximity sensor continuously scans the area ahead of the bus, measuring the distance from and relative speed of the vehicles in front. If the system detects a slower-moving vehicle in front, it brakes the bus automatically until the safety distance pre-programmed by the driver is achieved and then maintains this distance. The radar-based autonomous intelligent cruise control feature (AICC) takes the strain off the driver on highways and motorways. The alphabet of safety and assistance systems covers the gamut of technologies from Attention Assist to Sideguard Assist: Autonomous intelligent cruise control keeps a safe distance At the heart of these is active safety for accident prevention. That’s why the brand with the star has been supporting bus and coach drivers for many years with an increasingly wide range of effective assistance systems. The highest possible degree of safety is something that lies at the heart of the Mercedes-Benz brand.
