Mercedes-Benz Intouro gets ABA 5 world premiere
By Jim Gibbins - 1st October 2020
Germany - The all-new Mercedes-Benz Intouro, a high-floor coach aimed at interurban, day excursion and regional bus services is the first bus to be optionally equipped with Active Brake Assist 5 (ABA 5). The system includes Sideguard Assist and offers an increased level of safety for coaches.
ABA 5 can effect an automated full-stop braking manoeuvre to avoid moving pedestrians. In addition, it can automatically execute a full-stop braking manoeuvre to bring the vehicle to a standstill to avoid a stationary or moving obstacle. Sideguard Assist warns of moving objects and stationary obstacles. The radar-based system with pedestrian and cyclist detection supports the driver primarily when making turns in built-up areas.
