SAFETY FIELD DAY ACTIVITIES DAY 1 SFD ACTIVITY 5 SFD ACTIVITY 1 SFD ACTIVITY 3 The Impact of Weight during Corner Braking The Impact of Weight on Emergency Braking Today’s professional driver relies on the mobile office to safely handle the unexpected! This exercise will highlight the differences in braking distance and system efficiency from unladen to laden. Included will be a direct comparison to aftermarket components so the attendee can experience for themselves the real-world improvements that can be made in stopping power that is vital during those all- important emergency situations. This scenario will test both man and machine with a series of real world, back to back collision avoidance examples highlighting how a tailored set up that is fit for purpose can help keep your fleet safe and your costs down. SFD ACTIVITY 2 SFD ACTIVITY 4 The Impact of Weight on Dynamic Lane Changes Originally called the “Moose” test. This procedure consists of driving vehicle through a set track which simulates an on-road lane change manoeuvre. The vehicle is driven at a set speed from the initial lane to another parallel lane and back again. The test is used during the certification processes for motor vehicles and provides an excellent basis for assessment of a vehicle’s performance in emergency situation. All participants will have the ability to experience this test for themselves in both laden, un- laden and modified laden vehicles. To show the effect of weight on a vehicle’s overall stopping distance. TM Advanced Driver Assist Systems Automotive safety technology is pretty easy to wrap your head around, but advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are a little harder to pin down. We’re Putting You In The Drivers Seat The issue is that advanced driver assistance systems are systems and features that provide a driver with essential information, automate difficult or repetitive tasks, with the goal of engendering an overall increase in car safety for everyone on the road. Since these systems are so varied, it isn’t always easy to see how some of them actually relate to safety. ABS Split Surface Demonstration Many advanced driver assistance systems are right on the bleeding edge of emerging automotive technologies, and the jury is actually still out on some of them. ADAS systems that are currently being delivered to the market in Australia include: Slalom / Stability The slalom test involves attempting to maintain a constant speed whilst control a vehicle around a series of traffic cones in a controlled environment. This test provides the participant a graphic and physical account of the impact of weight on a vehicle and its handling dynamics. A vehicle laden to capacity is a much bigger beast to handle! This will provide attendees with a real world look into the day to day lives of those within our organisations on the road every day in laden, or partially laden vehicle. POWERED BY WEIGHT MATRIX SAFETY FIELD DAY ACTIVITIES KNOW YOUR FLEET VEHICLE WEIGHT • blind spot monitoring • adaptive cruise control 10 AUSTRALASIAN FLEET CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION AND FLEET AWARDS MAY 22-24 2019 The split surface provides the most dramatic demonstration of stability as the vehicle is subjected to ABS operation on our split surface which simulates ice. AEB - Autonomous Emergency Braking System Demonstration. Autonomous emergency braking systems are designed to detect an imminent crash and prevent a crash or at the least mitigate the damage in an event of a crash. The system first alerts the driver about the imminent collision and if the driver does not take any action to prevent it, the system automatically applies brakes. • following distance warning • lane keep assist • lane departure warning • self-parking • fatigue warning, and traffic-jam assist Many people already know this, however our demonstration allows participants to experience how the system works – in a safe (and fun) experience. SFD ACTIVITY 6 SFD ACTIVITY 7 Electric Vehicle and Hybrid Drive Experience Commercial Electric Vehicle Experience Australia is on the cusp of having 5 electric vehicles available for on or around $50,000 and perhaps more excitingly they represent a broad range of fit-for- purposes. Commercial electric vehicles are perhaps the wholly grail of emissions reductions as the majority of emissions for local councils come from their commercial vehicles. With many organisations chasing zero or net zero emissions by 2025 and acknowledging that commercial vehicles have a longer life span the time to act is now. • adaptive headlights This is a unique opportunity to view and test drive a suite of electric and plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles from a range of manufacturers including BMW, Hyundai, Jaguar, KIA, Mitsubishi, Mercedes, Nissan, Renault, Tesla and Toyota. TRY OUR NEW SOFTWARE TODAY! VISIT PEDDERS.COM.AU The purpose of the Split Surface Braking demonstration is to showcase the ability of ABS to provide stability of the vehicle during heavy braking. In this session you get an opportunity to drive and experience a range of commercial EV’s from a small commuter bus, Pantech and garbage truck. It may even be possible to experience a tipper.
