The accident happened on Saturday morning after nine on the 377th kilometer of the D1 highway in the direction of Poland and completely closed the highway for less than twelve hours. The car stopped behind the tow truck with the tank. The truck and the people were driving.
The policeman believes that the Lithuanian had no idea that a train with a historic tank stopped in front of him in the right lane, and behind him a personal escort vehicle with the owners of the tank.
Pulling with a mil tank for a special military event near Bohumno. He stopped on the highway because he wanted to go down to the military fortress where the review was taking place. he yelled, and the beast rises up at the exit from the highway.
In the video circulating on social media, it can be seen that on a straight cut, the truck behind the stationary vehicles apparently does not brake at all. so he swept the red passenger car at full speed and pushed it onto the truck with the tank.
The blue wrecker was old enough to assume that if the accused had offered a modern truck, the accident would not have happened. The daily tow truck is equipped with modern safety systems and assistants are able to help this idea very effectively and prevent problems.
Trucks are already in technology and new legislation often drives ahead of private cars.
Systems that use data from radars and cameras to stop the heart are mandatory in trucks over 3.5 tons in the European Union from 2013 for new homologated cars and from 2015 for all new cars manufactured.
The so-called Advanced Emergency Braking system, abbreviated AEB, can effectively help the truck stop and mitigate the consequences.
AEB is an advanced emergency braking system that uses a camera and radar to monitor the traffic situation in front of the vehicle. the element of this system is to prevent a collision with a vehicle in front, as Martin Pibyl, representative of the Scania car company, explains to iDNES.cz.
He points out, however, that the regulations do not require the ability to come to a complete stop before a static fire. It is therefore a question whether a truck traveling at the maximum permitted speed for a truck, which is approximately 80 km/h, would be able to stop completely behind a stationary car with the system. Urit, however, would reduce the impact and draw attention to the idea of pekka, added.
The regulations are nothing more than the necessary minimum. A modern cargo vehicle can be equipped and specified in such a way that, if correctly set, the vehicle will stop on its own in the event of a standstill. Taking into account the total price of a truck with a pitot, this is a relatively negligible fee, explains Pibyl, saying that in such a situation, a vehicle equipped with adaptive cruise control with the ability to regulate speed from 0 km/h would certainly prevent an accident.
If the driver does not react to a slower vehicle or a car in front of him, the system first warns him acoustically and with a flashing icon about a collision with the driver, and if the driver does not do anything even then, it will start braking fully. The collision can thus be completely prevented or its consequences reduced.
The emergency braking system develops a maximum braking force of 8 m/s² and slows down to a full stop at maximum intensity. The system is activated when a speed of fifteen kilometers is exceeded and, according to Volvo’s tests, under good conditions (dry road) it can prevent or reduce their consequences.
A great advantage against an idiot is that the system develops maximum braking intensity in the shortest possible time and hits it all the time (safe driving instructors have experience that idiots generally do not know how to brake as much as possible, they get out of control when they step on the pedal).
In the specific case of the weekend accident near Ostrava, the idea system, which probably wasn’t paying attention, would have warned of a collision and then started braking.
When, in 2017, the Tunisian bomber drove a truck into the interior of the Berlin Foreign Market, there were proposals for additional installation of systems even in old vehicles (so-called retrofitting), which is obviously very expensive. It would cost about 200,000 K for one car.
Since May this year, it has also been compulsory for passenger cars
In the European Union, the emergency braking system is required by law for new models of passenger vehicles from May 2022. From May 2024, it is mandatory for all new cars sold (even those launched on the market).
Assistance and safety systems for cars are developed and adjusted even in Estonia.
