OnGuard™ is the first commercial vehicle Collision Safety System with Active Braking. OnGuard can automatically maintain a safe following distance and helps avoid or reduce the impact of rear-end collisions by braking as needed.
OnGuard uses forward-looking radar sensor technology featuring advanced algorithms to monitor the distance to the moving vehicle ahead. When OnGuard detects that a potential collision is developing, it sends audible and visual warnings through an in-cab dash display so the driver is alerted to take appropriate corrective action.
Active Braking Makes the Difference Active
Braking can energize brakes prior to driver demand – when unsafe distances are detected – reducing the time to achieve proper braking pressure. This reaction time reduction can help the driver to either prevent a collision or greatly reduce its impact.
OnGuard is so smart, it sees around curves OnGuard radar sensor technology uses an internal gyro to detect a curve approaching and adjusts the radar beam as necessary to see objects around the bend.
