Pedestrian Crash Avoidance Mitigation (PCAM)

Pedestrian Crash Avoidance Mitigation (PCAM) is a safety system designed to prevent or reduce the severity of collisions with pedestrians. It uses sensors, cameras, and radar to detect pedestrians in or near the vehicle's path and can automatically apply the brakes if the driver doesn't respond in time. PCAM systems often provide warnings or intervene with emergency braking to mitigate or avoid crashes. This technology enhances safety in urban environments, where pedestrian traffic is high and the risk of collisions is greater.
