Distraction and inattention can be fatal for truck drivers, particularly with unexpected stoppages in traffic occur. Volvo Trucks' collision warning with emergency brake, helps drivers prevent rear-end collisions by refocusing their attention to the traffic ahead of them. When a critical situation is detected, a series of collision warnings prompt the driver to react, and if the driver fails to react, the emergency brakes ensure that a fatal collision is prevented.
