Vehicle Safety Monitoring System Equipment Package

Description:

This Equipment package shall provide the capability to diagnose critical components of the vehicle and warn the driver of potential dangers. These capabilities are provided by equipment such as a set of on-board sensors to monitor continuously the vehicle condition and performance, including steering, braking, acceleration, emissions, fuel economy, engine performance, etc. Problems with any of these systems shall be identified using processors on board the vehicle, providing a timely display to the driver of the situation. The sensors shall provide warnings to the driver in the event of a serious condition (e.g., likely failure or damage).

 

Included in:

Metrobuses

Processes:

3.1.2Carry-out Safety Analysis
