Man Safestop Assist helps prevent bus accidents…

Man Truck & Bus continues its innovations in the safe driving area. Man Truck & Bus, the only manufacturer that offers an assistant system for all new bus models, helps to prevent serious bus accidents with its newly developed smart Man Safestop Assist. MAN Safestop, which detects the driver’s inactivity, brings the bus to a safe stop point if the driver does not interfere despite visual, tactile and voice warnings.

Today, serious accidents may occur because drivers cannot control their vehicles for possible medical or other reasons. The smart Man Safestop Assist, which Man Truck & Bus develops for such possible emergencies and offers on all new bus models, helps to prevent such accidents. The active intervention system, which consists of a sophisticated interaction of several highly developed aid systems, automatically stops the vehicle safely in emergency situations.

MAN Bus Group President Barbaros Oktay, “Medical emergency situations due to unpredictable incidents of the driver’s suddenly unable to move frequently encountered. The consequences of this may be destructive. Our experiences, in such cases, buses and passenger buses from the road to the way to show that it is not very rare. Intercity, Man Lion’s Coach, Neoplan Tourliner and Neoplan Skyliner have developed the smart man Safestop Assist.

Man Truck & Bus Bus Product Marketing Manager Heinz Kiess said, “No other manufacturer offers such a system for all the current bus models. However, this is not one of the most important innovations of the 2024 model year, but rather to prevent serious accidents.

“Thanks to the intelligent interaction of highly developed systems such as attention protection, lane protection and emergency brake assistants, we have managed to greatly increase the security for drivers, passengers and other road users.

It intervenes in the driving process with three -stage warning and braking

The basis of the Safestop Assist is a perception that the active intervention system is no longer able to move. For this purpose, the assistant system uses the driving activity of the active strip protection system, as well as the functionality of the adaptive cruise control (Acc Stop & GO). The system also constantly monitors the distance, location and relative speed of the front objects, as well as a lane protection with the help of a sensor integrated on the front of the vehicle and a camera placed behind the windshield.

If the driver determines that the driver is no longer active, he interferes with the driving process within the three -stage warning and braking level. In the first stage, with a warning symbol and text messages on the screen, the driver is required to take over the steering wheel through light vibration in the steering wheel. If the driver does not do this, a voice warning is added to visual and tactile warning messages. The assistant system also makes more and more severe partial braking. If the driver still does not react, this time the man Safestop Assist starts an emergency stopping process and the bus is braking until the bus is bends within the system boundaries.

If the emergency stop is not canceled, the system automatically activates the quadrilateral warning lamps in order to warn the road users following the road users. Man Safestop Assist, the vehicle stops immediately after the bus does not slip. For this, the gear automatically activates the electronic parking brake. It also opens the doors to open the interior lighting in order to ensure that the assistance can be provided smoothly in case of emergency.
