Bendix

Advanced
™
- A Collision
Mitigation Technology
The Bendix
®
Wingman
®
Advanced
™
system is the
integration of three features:
• Adaptive cruise control with braking;
• Alerts (several different types); and
• Collision mitigation technology.
Part One: Adaptive Cruise Control with Braking
The adaptive cruise control with braking feature is an
additional upgrade of ordinary cruise control. When
using cruise control, the Wingman
®
Advanced
™
system
will maintain the set speed, and also will intervene, as
needed, to help maintain a set following distance behind
a detected forward vehicle.
Using a radar sensor mounted to the front of the vehicle
— with a range of approximately 500 feet — the Wingman
Advanced system reacts to detected forward vehicles in
the same lane, traveling in the same direction.
If the vehicle in front slows down below the cruise control’s
set speed, the Bendix Wingman Advanced system will
intervene and, as necessary, in this order:
(a) reduce the engine throttle; then
(b) apply the engine retarder; then
(c) apply the foundation brakes,
in an attempt to maintain the set following distance behind
the vehicle ahead. NOTE: If during the intervention, it is
necessary to apply the foundation brakes, the vehicle will
not automatically resume the cruise control set speed.
If the vehicle ahead slows below the cruise control’s set
speed, but then accelerates away, and the Wingman
Advanced system did not need to use the foundation
brakes, the system will automatically accelerate back
to the original cruise control set speed, and resume/
maintain a set following distance behind any detected
forward vehicles.
Because the Wingman Advanced system operates along
with normal cruise control, all the typical features built
into cruise control work as usual. For example, limits
imposed by factory-set road speed governors, etc.
are fully supported by the Bendix Wingman Advanced
system.
Part Two: Alerts
Bendix Wingman Advanced also assists by delivering
audible and visual alerts, whether or not cruise control
is on. See Service Data Sheet SD-61-4960 for full
descriptions of the three types of alerts the driver may
hear and/or see displayed.
Part Three: Collision Mitigation Technology
The Wingman Advanced collision mitigation technology is
designed to be ready to react to the presence of moving
vehicles in front of the vehicle (whether or not cruise control
is set). Collision mitigation interventions can use up to
two-thirds of the vehicle’s braking capacity. The system
provides the driver with an alert before an intervention
occurs. The driver must immediately act to potentially
avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision.
