1 The Integrated Safety System Mercedes-Benz Buses and Coaches
2
3 Responsibility obligates. Naturally you give bus transport safety top priority. And so do we at Mercedes-Benz. As the inventor of the omnibus, and a leading manufacturer, we have a particularly strong responsibility to make travelling by bus even safer. Leading by example. Since Carl Benz built the first omni bus in 1895, bus transport safety has made huge progress and Mercedes-Benz has played a vital part. At Mercedes we promote the cause of automotive safety through a continuous stream of inventions and groundbreaking innovations, a process that very much includes the bus. Many technical novelties that are standard today were first showcased in a vehicle bearing the Star. So it s no surprise that the safest bus in the world is currently a Mercedes-Benz. The Star as a symbol of the highest levels of safety. No other company in the industry invests as much as we do in research and development. All our vehicle classes benefit from the pioneering work on safety done in the various different sections of the company. That s why the safety technology of Mercedes-Benz buses is so cutting-edge. It also explains why you can expect more safety from a vehicle bearing the Star. Quite simply, Mercedes-Benz Buses and Coaches are the embodiment of a very special responsibility. 3
4 Safe from A to Z. Will bus accidents soon become a thing of the past? Driven by the vision of accident-free travel, Mercedes-Benz has developed the Integrated Safety System. This provides a comprehensive package to increase bus transport safety. When it comes to bus safety we look four times harder. Safe travel, accident avoidance, protecting passengers and drivers before and after an accident: active and passive safety has many facets. And never more so than in bus transport. The special quality of the Mercedes-Benz Integrated Safety System lies in the fact that it embraces all four phases of automotive safety, from driving safety, to mastering critical situations through to protection during an accident and assistance after one. For every phase we can offer you pioneering solutions that make bus transport significantly safer. Our vision for an accident-free future. Could the buses of the future have no accidents? At Mercedes-Benz we ve been working for a long time to make this vision a reality. The Integrated Safety System is an important step in that direction and so it s matter of honour for us that we build the safest regular-service bus in the world: the Mercedes-Benz Safety Coach. 4

6 Priority for driving safety. In bus transport a minor incident is sometimes enough to trigger danger. For instance, if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly. To identify and master such situations reliably, the Integrated Safety System offers you a range of innovative solutions. 6
7 Imagine a Guardian Angel that automatically alerts a distracted bus driver. It takes a lot to disturb the equilibrium of Mercedes-Benz Buses and Coaches fitted with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP ). ESP helps the bus driver to negotiate unexpected driving situations safely. Through targeted interventions in the braking and engine control system the electronics ensure that the bus remains on track and retains its balance as much as possible - even during fast cornering or abrupt, evasive manoeuvres. That means a tangible plus for driving safety. Safety can be automated too. ESP is only one of the many innovative electronic guardian angels that enhance driving safety in Mercedes-Benz buses. For example, the electro-pneumatic braking system (EBS) ensures that the brakes are operated faster when the driver presses on the brake pedal. Or take Roll & Pitch Control. This stabilises the vehicle automatically and optimises its road holding in response to the current load situation and road conditions. Meanwhile, assistance systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Guard System (LGS) and Continuous Braking Limiter (CBL) make important contributions in terms of greater driving comfort and extra driving safety. On top of this our buses also feature many more engineering features, which make driving them significantly safer. An unforeseen obstacle on the road: thanks to ESP the evasive manoeuvre succeeds without causing the bus to skid. 7
8 Safe resolution of critical situations comes as standard. A vehicle that suddenly pulls out from oncoming traffic to overtake or an obstacle suddenly appearing as you go round a bend: thanks to ultra-modern Mercedes-Benz engineering, many hazardous situations can be negotiated more readily by your bus leading to less accidents. The ABA continuously measures the distance to the vehicle in front and reacts automatically if an impact becomes imminent. The safest buses brake of their own accord. Mercedes-Benz is the only manufacturer in the world to offer buses fitted with Active Brake Assist (ABA). If every vehicle on the roads were equipped with it, rear impact accidents would immediately become a thing of the past. ABA reacts automatically if the bus threatens to collide with the vehicle in front. The electronics warn the driver first via a graduated alarm signal. If there is no response the ABA cuts in and brakes the vehicle automatically until the immediate impact hazard has been avoided. Our innovations defuse hazardous situations. ABA is just one example of the advanced electronic aids that support drivers in critical situations. For example, Anti-lock Braking (ABS) and Acceleration Skid Control (ASR) have been fitted in our buses for decades. Today, many new safety systems have also been added such as Brake Assist (BA), which applies the full braking force in a split second in emergency braking situations, thereby reducing the braking distance. Anyone can learn to react correctly at the decisive moment. The bus driver s response is vital in determining whether a hazardous situation can be negotiated without an accident. That s why we offer OMNIplus, the service brand for customers of Mercedes-Benz Buses and Coaches that provides a comprehensive range of safety training courses for bus drivers. Different subject matter and qualification levels offer targeted, legally recognised professional training, tailored to the individual needs of the participants. The courses closely integrate theory and practice to ensure continuous learning success. Go to to find out more and register for courses. 8

11 Making every accident a minor one. Imagine you re sitting in a bus that is involved in an accident. You ll be hoping it s a Mercedes-Benz, because the Integrated Safety System continues to protect even if an accident does occur. Now bus drivers can survive accidents in better shape. In the event of frontal impact, drivers and tour guides are at particular risk. That s why Mercedes-Benz Buses and Coaches has developed Front Collision Guard (FCG). It increases the degree of protection afforded to people in the bus cockpit and reduces the risk of injury associated with conventional designs. FCG improves the deflection of the impact energy as well as moving the driver area several valuable centimetres backwards away from the danger zone, thus significantly reducing the severity of any injuries. For us it s not simply about the passenger compartment, it s also about human lives. It goes without saying that the shells of Mercedes-Benz buses fulfil all legal requirements concerning passive safety. However, far more important for us is that our vehicles provide all passengers with the best-possible accident protection. That s why we design the passenger compartment to be extremely tough, thus providing passengers with a safe and survivable environment. Special partitions and protective walls reduce the risk of injury in exposed areas, while the extremely strong seats in our long-distance coaches provide passengers with better protection. Their backrests can absorb very large amounts of energy, thus increasing stability in the event of an accident. FCG (light-grey) absorbs the energy released in an impact and enlarges the survival area for the bus driver. 11
12 Making things easier for rescuers. Even after an accident you benefit from the Integrated Safety System in a Mercedes-Benz bus. Special engineering features and special services assist emergency personnel at the accident scene to ensure they can provide the best-possible assistance. The right information can save human lives. Fortunately serious accidents are a rarity in bus transport. However, if one does happen the rescuers on the scene must be able to reach the injured passengers swiftly and without endangering either themselves or the passengers unnecessarily. That s why Mercedes-Benz provides rescue guidelines, being the only manufacturer to do so to date. These provide clear and detailed advice and information for our current models. A service that can save lives in an emergency. Naturally though we are doing everything we can to ensure that neither you, nor anybody else, ever has to make use of them. If you prepare for the worst you are better able to prevent it. Drivers can also contribute to reducing the severity of any accident for everybody involved and preventing any follow-up accidents. That s why the Mercedes-Benz OMNIplus professional training programme for bus drivers includes a specific emergency training course. This allows the professionals behind the wheel to practice how to react under the guidance of experts. During the course they learn, for instance, how to reduce the risk of injury and increase the vehicle s stability by ensuring that luggage is securely stowed away. To find out more go to where the Mercedes-Benz Rescue Guidelines are also available for downloading. For the best-possible safety on the road: the Integrated Safety System from Mercedes-Benz. 12
