Renault Trucks will bend the shot to a popular notion is that the truck is a major source of accidents. Citing statistics, the manufacturer claims that trucks represent only 3.2% of the number of vehicles in the accident and only 7% of the total traffic (71% for the car. Year: 2008). Either a reduction of 50% in 10 years. Renault Trucks' just draw attention to its efforts, including research in accident (with the Centre for European Studies and security), or the development of active safety features (brakes, slowing , keeping the trajectory, etc..).
For example, due to its weight, slowing a truck is an essential element of security. It has been constantly improved in terms of its performance and its response time. At the moment, the retarder Optibrake Renault Trucks is the most powerful market slowdown with a power of 380 kW. The truck's brakes are also electronically controlled EBS. This is coupled with an ABS management of the distribution of braking force on each wheel based on traction conditions. In the same vein, the Vehicle Dynamic Control is ensured by keeping track of prevention and reversal of jackknifing, provided by the electronic stability program ESP.
Central element of safety by Renault Trucks, the driver is at the center of attention and different systems are proposed to help maintain a constant vigilance. The goal is to give the driver the right information at the right time. Renault Trucks sells a cruise control system "smart" from its work. In one case, it combines three functions. The HMW (Headway Monitoring & Warning) or maintaining automatic safety distance between vehicles. It alerts the driver if he does not maintain a sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead. The FCW (Forward Collision Warning) opposes the impending collision. It analyzes the distance with the vehicle in front and their respective speeds. It warns the driver 2.7 seconds before the collision risk, to allow time to react and avoid the accident. Finally, the LDW (Lane Departure Warning) is in poor position on the floor or accidentally change channel, it sends a warning a half-second before the vehicle crosses the line and only if the flashing is not put. This system allows the driver to improve his position on the track, encourages to systematically turn signal and can be highly useful in case of poor visibility.
Finally, research efforts focus on aid to improve vision including through mirrors integrated camera, sensors and cameras in the areas of non-visibility. In addition, the research teams of Renault Trucks continually experimenting communication projects and exchange information in real time between vehicles and infrastructure.
