Sensor Monitoring Range

As shown in Fig. an empty angle of approximately 6 degrees is between the truck and the area monitored by the sensor. Objects within this area are not detected.

Due to the nature of the system, warnings may be issued in error when driving close to barriers or other solid boundaries.

Warnings may also be interrupted when driving alongside particularly long vehicles for a prolonged time.

The SGA system uses the side radar and truck data to assess entrance into the sensor monitoring area. This area depends on speed, turn data, and driver activity. If equipped with ASGA, this enhancement only uses proximity data for moving objects, such as pedestrians or bicycles, located along the length of the passenger side of the truck to apply the brakes.
