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.
