GOTHENBURG, Svezia, July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Sistema in anteprima mondiale di frenata automatica in caso di svolta mentre sopraggiunge un altro veicolo 
  • Soluzione unica al mondo focalizzata sull'uscita di strada accidentale 
  • Il pacchetto standard di sicurezza più avanzato oggi disponibile sul mercato 

La nuova XC90 di Volvo Cars - che sarà presentata nel mese di agosto - offrirà nella dotazione standard il pacchetto per la sicurezza più completo e tecnologicamente avanzato oggi disponibile nell'industria automobilistica. Le nuove tecnologie faranno compiere all'azienda un notevole passo avanti verso l'obiettivo che si è prefissata, ovvero l'azzeramento del numero di persone rimaste uccise o gravemente ferite a seguito di incidente in una nuova Volvo entro il 2020.

Il pacchetto di sicurezza standard del SUV di lusso a sette posti con trazione integrale includerà due tecnologie per la sicurezza presentate in anteprima mondiale, vale a dire un pacchetto di protezione in caso di uscita di strada e una funzione di frenata automatica agli incroci.

"Per quanto riguarda la sicurezza, il nostro punto di partenza è lo stesso di 87 anni fa: le situazioni tipiche della vita reale," commenta Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Ricerca & Sviluppo di Volvo Car Group. "Analizziamo i dati. Elaboriamo le cifre. Innoviamo. Da ciò  scaturisce una delle automobili più sicure mai realizzate prima."

Anteprima mondiale n. 1: protezione in caso di uscita di strada 

L'uscita di strada è un tipo di incidente comune che può avere cause diverse, come una distrazione del conducente, uno stato di affaticamento da parte di chi sta guidando o cattive condizioni meteorologiche. Ad esempio, la metà degli incidenti mortali negli Stati Uniti sono dovuti all'uscita di strada del veicolo, mentre in Svezia gli incidenti che vedono coinvolto un solo veicolo rappresentano un terzo di tutti gli incidenti d'auto mortali o gravi.

In caso di uscita dalla carreggiata, la nuova Volvo XC90 rileva ciò che accade e tende le cinture di sicurezza per mantenere i passeggeri in posizione ottimale. Le cinture rimangono tese finché la vettura è in movimento.

Al fine di evitare lesioni alla spina dorsale, un dispositivo di assorbimento dell'energia ubicato fra il sedile e il telaio del sedile attutisce le forze verticali che possono generarsi quando la vettura urta con violenza contro il terreno. Il dispositivo è in grado di ridurre fino a un terzo le forze verticali cui possono essere sottoposti i passeggeri.

Anteprima mondiale n.  2: frenata automatica agli incroci 

La XC90 è la prima automobile al mondo dotata di una tecnologia che attiva automaticamente i freni nel caso in cui l'automobilista svolti mentre sopraggiunge un'altra vettura. Questa è una situazione alquanto comune sia in prossimità di incroci cittadini molto trafficati sia sulle strade a scorrimento veloce e in autostrada, dove i limiti di velocità sono più elevati. La nuova Volvo XC90 rileva la possibilità che si verifichi un incidente e frena automaticamente per evitare la collisione o per ridurre le conseguenze dell'incidente.

Tutte le funzioni di frenata automatica incluse nella dotazione standard 

Per City Safety si intende ora l'insieme delle funzioni di frenata automatica offerte da Volvo Cars - peraltro tutte incluse nella dotazione standard della nuova XC90.

 "City Safety è una delle più avanzate offerte standard di prevenzione contro gli incidenti che si possano trovare in un'auto moderna. Ora rileva la presenza di veicoli, ciclisti e pedoni davanti all'auto, sia di giorno che di notte," spiega Lotta Jakobsson, Tecnico Senior specialista in Sicurezza presso il Centro per la Sicurezza di Volvo Cars. "Finalmente siamo in grado di coprire l'intero lasso di tempo che va dal tramonto all'alba grazie a una telecamera sensibilissima più intelligente e veloce, abbinata a un sistema avanzato di controllo dell'esposizione."
