A must-have option for buying a car in the future The importance of truck safety configuration
Trucks, as an important tool for modern logistics and transportation, are directly related to the safety of the driver's life and the happiness of multiple families. With the advancement of technology and the increasing complexity of the traffic environment, the safety configuration of trucks is no longer a simple add-on option, but has become a key factor that must be considered when choosing a car.
Driver assistance system uses technology to protect driving safety
The driver assistance system, also known as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), uses various sensors installed on the vehicle (such as millimeter-wave radar, lidar, camera, etc.) to sense the surrounding environment, collect data, identify, detect and track static and dynamic objects, and combine navigation map data to systematically calculate and analyze, so as to make the driver aware of possible dangers in advance and improve the comfort and safety of car driving.
Reduced risk of accidents: Driver assistance systems monitor the vehicle's surroundings in real time, such as Lane Departure Warning (LDW), which warns the driver when the vehicle is out of lane, and Forward Collision Warning (FCW), which alerts the driver to apply braking when it detects the risk of a collision ahead. These features greatly reduce the risk of accidents caused by driver negligence or lack of reaction.
Reduce driving fatigue: The adaptive cruise control (ACC) function can automatically adjust the speed of the vehicle according to the speed and distance of the vehicle in front, maintain a safe distance, and reduce the driver's frequent braking and accelerator operation, thereby reducing driving fatigue. Lane Centering Assist (LCC) or Lane Keeping (LKS) helps the vehicle stay in its lane, reducing the number of corrections the driver has to make to the steering wheel.
Improved driving experience: The driver assistance system can also provide functions such as blind spot monitoring and fatigue driving warning to further enhance the driving experience. For example, blind spot monitoring alerts the driver to the vehicle behind the vehicle when changing lanes to avoid a collision.
At present, the driver assistance system is mainly divided into five levels: L0 to L5. For trucks, Level 2 driver assistance systems are already able to provide a more comprehensive range of safety assistance functions. Therefore, when choosing a car, priority should be given to models equipped with L2 and above driver assistance systems.
Hydraulic retarder: a safety guard for long downhill slopes
A hydraulic retarder is a device that uses the principle of power transmission of liquids to decelerate a vehicle. It automatically adjusts the torque transmitted to the wheels according to the speed and load without human intervention, resulting in a smooth deceleration effect.
In situations such as long downhills, hydraulic retarders can help the vehicle better control the speed and reduce the frequency and intensity of braking use, thereby reducing the risk of braking system failure. This is especially important for heavy-duty trucks, as frequent braking can cause brake pads to overheat, degrade braking performance, or even fail.
The use of hydraulic retarders can reduce brake wear and energy consumption, reducing vehicle emissions and operating costs. This is of great significance for trucking companies that pursue economic benefits and environmental performance.
Hydraulic retarders are mainly used for heavy trucks and long-distance transport vehicles. When choosing, it should be decided whether a hydraulic retarder needs to be installed depending on the type of vehicle and the usage scenario. For example, for trucks that are often driven in mountainous areas or on long downhill sections, a hydraulic retarder is an essential safety feature.
EBS Electronic Braking System: The guardian of braking safety
The Electronic Braking System (EBS) is an upgraded control system based on the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and anti-slip system (ESP). It can realize the distribution of electronic braking force and the consistency control of the main and trailer, shorten the braking distance of the whole vehicle, and improve the overall braking performance of the whole vehicle.
Shorter braking distances: The EBS system reduces the response time and pressure build-up time of the braking system, resulting in faster braking results. This is essential for vehicle safety in emergency braking situations.
Brake force distribution: The EBS system can automatically adjust the braking pressure of the front and rear axles and trailer according to the load and driving status of the vehicle to achieve accurate braking force distribution. This helps to avoid dangerous situations such as side slip and head pushes caused by unbalanced braking in the vehicle.
Improved vehicle stability: The EBS system also has a body stabilization function. When the vehicle oversteers or understeers, the system can quickly recognize and respond to stabilize the vehicle body through braking intervention to prevent accidents such as rollovers.
Epilogue:
As an important tool for modern logistics and transportation, the safety of trucks cannot be ignored. When choosing a car, we should pay more attention to the safety configuration of the vehicle, such as the driver assistance system, hydraulic retarder and EBS electronic braking system. These safety features improve the safety and comfort of trucks in different ways, providing more comprehensive protection for drivers and passengers.
