and yet thousands of traffic accidents happen every day.

然而每天有成千上萬的交通事故發生

Driving means dealing with unexpected situations,

駕駛意味著隨時處理始料未及的情況

and something as simple as a wet road or a few moments of inattention

有時候像一段濕滑路面或 片刻的疏忽這樣的小事情

can lead to huge risks.

都有可能釀成大禍

Now Volvo Trucks is releasing two new features

現在 Volvo Trucks正在推出兩個新功能

designed to save lives.

旨在挽救生命

The first feature is Volvo Dynamic Steering with Stability Assist,

第一個功能是帶有穩定輔助 系統的Volvo動態轉向系統

which is designed to prevent skidding.

可用於防止打滑

Cornering, driving at high speeds

轉彎、高速行駛

or driving a truck without a load in slippery conditions

或是在濕滑情況下駕駛無負載的卡車

are all situations that can make a truck start to skid,

都是可能導致卡車開始打滑的情況

with severe, devastating consequences in traffic.

交通繁忙的時候會 帶來嚴重的、災難性的後果

When a truck skids, it is important to quickly and smoothly

當卡車打滑時，重要的是 朝正確的方向來

countersteer the vehicle in the right direction to keep control.

快速而平穩地逆向操舵 使車輛保持控制

But even the best drivers can be surprised by difficult road conditions,

但是即便是最好的司機也會 對困難的路況預料不及

making it hard to regain full control of the vehicle.

導致很難重新完全控制車輛

Volvo Dynamic Steering with Stability Assist

帶有穩定輔助系統的Volvo動態轉向系統

reacts within milliseconds to countersteer during a skid,

在毫秒之內做出反應 在打滑時逆向操舵

just like a professional driver would.

就像職業司機一般

This is made possible by hardware and software constantly communicating

這個功能的實現是依靠 硬體和軟體進行不斷交流

to detect if a truck is about to lose its grip on the road.

以檢測卡車是否會在路上失控

The new feature also helps the Electronic Stability Control system

這個新功能也有助於電子穩定控制系統

to act faster and to slow down the vehicle safely.

更快地反應，安全地將車輛減速

The second feature is Volvo Dynamic Steering with Lane Keeping Assist.

第二個功能是帶有車道保持輔助 系統的Volvo動態轉向系統

It stops trucks from unintended drift

它能阻止卡車發生意外的漂移

and is especially helpful during monotonous driving on a straight road,

尤其是對在筆直的路上 單調地行駛有幫助

which can lead any driver to lose concentration.

任何司機在這種情況下 都有可能會失去注意力

Just a second's inattention can result in rollover accidents

只要有片刻的疏忽 就可能導致翻車事故

or serious vehicle-to-vehicle collisions.

或嚴重的車輛相撞事故

But the new system can intervene to steer the truck back

但是新系統可以在卡車開始 漂移出車道的時候進行干預

if it starts to drift out of its lane.

通過操舵讓卡車回來

If the vehicle has already passed over a lane marking,

如果車輛已經越過了車道線

a pulse also flows through the steering wheel

方向盤會有一股脈衝流過

to alert the driver of potential danger.

警告司機有潛在危險

Volvo Dynamic Steering with Lane Keeping Assist is a safety support system

帶有車道保持輔助系統的Volvo 動態轉向系統是一個安全支持系統

and the steering intervention is gentle,

且轉向干預很輕柔

allowing the driver to easily override it if necessary.

便於司機在必要時忽略它

Volvo Trucks are working towards a vision of zero accidents.

Volvo卡車在朝著零事故的願景努力

No life should be lost on the road.

不應有任何生命在路上喪生
