Volkswagen Pedestrian Monitoring Provides Improved View For Driver

Even the most capable drivers can use a bit of assistance sometimes.  That is why Volkswagen has created its impressive selection of driver-assistance technologies.  These features are meant to enhance the driver's natural ability rather than replace it.  The VW Pedestrian Monitoring technology, part of the Front Assist system, is one of those innovative features.  The Pedestrian Monitoring system is meant to help the driver be aware of others on the road, especially pedestrian traffic which might be easily missed otherwise.

This system uses a small radar tucked behind the Volkswagen emblem on the vehicle's front to sweep the area in front of the vehicle.  It can monitor about 35 degrees and up to approximately 400 feet ahead.  The data collected by the radar is analyzed for possible pedestrian activity that could create a danger.  If the vehicle is traveling at less than 18.6 mph, the system can apply the brakes to slow or even stop.  At speeds of 18.6 mph up to 40 mph, the system will provide audible and visual alerts then can brake if the driver has not responded to alerts.  The system will not operate if the vehicle is traveling faster than 40 mph.  This system can not effectively work in some conditions and should not be considered a replacement for attentive driving.

Visit Emich Volkswagen in Denver and let us tell you more about this and the many other driver-assistance technologies on the VW model lineup.  Front Assist with Pedestrian Monitoring is currently available on almost all 2019 models, excluding the Beetle, Jetta, and Passat.  In fact, this exciting feature is standard on the VW Arteon, Atlas, Golf, Golf R, and Golf Alltrack models.  It is anticipated that it will be standard on almost all VW models by 2022.
