This is the new Mercedes Benz S Class 2024 - Discover automated driving and active safety
10 years and 10 million Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with pedestrian emergency braking
10 million Mercedes-Benz passenger cars equipped with Active Brake Assist, including pedestrian detection
Active brake assist can help minimize the risk of collisions with vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists and mitigate the consequences.
The innovative driver assistance system is standard on all Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.
With more than 40 active assistance systems currently available, Mercedes-Benz is making a decisive contribution to increasing the safety of all road users. In particular, Active Brake Assist with pedestrian detection has been helping to reduce accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists for many years. This applies to typical driving speeds in and out of town.
The system can provide visual and acoustic warnings of an impending collision in front of the vehicle, from intersecting or oncoming vehicles. If the driver brakes too lightly, the system can come to their aid and increase the braking force depending on the situation. If the driver does not react at all, Active Brake Assist triggers emergency braking. In the current generation of vehicles, Active Brake Assist uses camera and/or radar sensor technology to detect pedestrians and cyclists in front of the vehicle in the direction of travel. If an imminent risk of collision with these so-called vulnerable road users is detected, the required braking force is calculated in order to avoid a possible collision or to minimize its severity.
Today, Mercedes-Benz has reached a new milestone in active safety: since 2012, more than 10 million of all Mercedes-Benz passenger cars sold worldwide have been equipped with the pedestrian emergency braking system. Pedestrians are considered unprotected road users because they are not equipped with airbags, seat belts or protective clothing. Their particular risk is also reflected in accident statistics: according to an analysis by the European Commission, pedestrians accounted for almost a fifth of all road deaths in the European Union in 2020. In the United States, their share of total traffic fatalities in 2021 was 17 percent according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Meanwhile, a 2022 study by the American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety concluded that vehicles equipped with a pedestrian emergency braking system have a 27% lower rate of pedestrian crashes than vehicles without of such technology.
Alert and assistance in the event of an acute accident risk
Mercedes-Benz introduced the first Brake Assist System (BAS) in 1996. In 2005, radar technology was used to improve the Brake Assist system by making it anticipatory. A year later, the experts combined the DISTRONIC PLUS distance control system and BAS PLUS brake assistance to create PRE-SAFE Brake with autonomous partial braking. The important pedestrian detection function was added in 2013 and first introduced in the E-Class (W212). In 2016, the pedestrian emergency braking system was then installed as standard equipment for the first time as part of the launch of the new E-Class (W213). Since 2021, Active Brake Assist has been standard equipment on all new Mercedes-Benz car models. This means that the high requirements for internal safety exceed legal requirements: so-called urban emergency braking assistance systems for low-speed driving are only obligatory for all types of passenger cars newly approved in the EU only since July 2022. From 2024, they will be compulsory for each newly registered car.
Future assistance systems will be even more powerful thanks to increasingly advanced sensors and the help of artificial intelligence. It is already clear today that active assistance systems make an important contribution to the protection of pedestrians and cyclists, in particular so-called vulnerable road users.
