đČ Dooring Accidents: A Preventable Danger
Every second bicycle accident involving parked cars is caused by dooring – when a car door opens into a cyclist’s path. With VRUs (Vulnerable Road Users) making up 48% of road fatalities in Europe, action is needed.
đ The Solution? Exit Assistance
Euro NCAP’s 2023 safety tests evaluate vehicles on their ability to detect approaching cyclists and prevent dooring accidents. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can now:
â
Detect cyclists & pedestrians
â
Warn occupants before opening the door
â
Prevent the door from opening if a collision is imminent
