Featuring enhanced collision mitigation braking capabilities, Bendix® Wingman® Fusion™
also includes these features:
Fusion also helps drivers mitigate potential rollover and loss-of-control situations because it incorporates the power
and reliability of our Bendix® ESP® full stability program as a foundation.
Through ongoing dialogue and field research, Bendix understands what's important to your fleet. It's that
knowledge that helps drive our development, and why our flagship Bendix Wingman Fusion system has now
been enhanced with you in mind. Fusion - the commercial vehicle market's first integrated advanced driver
assistance system - adds enhanced braking power and collision mitigation capabilities, additional driver assistance
features, and more integration potential to create a system that does even more - and does it better - for your
operation.
Note: Because each truck manufacturer may implement differing feature sets of Bendix Wingman Fusion, please check
with your OE or dealer to determine what features and performance capabilities are available on your vehicle(s).
SafetyDirect® by Bendix CVS is a user-friendly Web portal, a valuable option for your fleet, that wirelessly transmits real-time driver performance data, videos, and event-based information for back office analysis. Data from the Bendix® Wingman® Fusion™ system brake sensors, camera, and radar provides real-time knowledge and insight about your vehicles and surroundings while on the road. The SafetyDirect processor captures data, then - using your fleet's telematics system - automatically transmits driver performance and event-based information - including video - to the SafetyDirect web portal for viewing in your back office.
Available at low vehicle speeds, when Wingman® Fusion™ can definitively identify a situation ahead - such as a stalled vehicle or an in-lane vehicle in stopped traffic - SVB can automatically alert your driver up to 3.5 seconds before impact and can apply the brakes in order to decelerate the vehicle.
If the Fusion-equipped tractor is traveling at a vehicle speed less than 37 mph/59 kph and the system cannot definitively identify the stationary vehicle in its lane of travel, your driver will be alerted up to 3.0 seconds in advance, but no automatic braking power will be applied. Fusion-equipped tractors travelling at speeds greater that 37 mph/59 kph will experience reduced alert time.

Offering additional convenience, this feature allows your driver to resume cruise control after braking to a stop without having to push the resume switch. With ACB Stop & Driver Go, your driver need only press down on the throttle and the vehicle will throttle up to the vehicle set speed while maintaining a gap with the forward vehicle.
Building on the Bendix® Wingman® Fusion™ system's existing lane departure warning capability, HDB provides an auditory alert to your driver and, if necessary, can apply the foundation brakes to reduce vehicle speed moderately to alert the driver if the system determines the vehicle has left the roadway unintentionally. Highway Departure Braking is especially helpful in situations where your driver may have become drowsy behind the wheel.
Arm your fleet with technology that spots trouble sooner. Start today.
To help make this possible, Bendix has adapted technology powered by the Mobileye® System-on-Chip EyeQ® processor with advanced object detection algorithms.
Auto-Resume re-engages the cruise control after the Wingman® Fusion™ system brakes your vehicle above a certain speed threshold. Today, if the system brakes, the cruise control disengages. With Fusion's ACB Auto-Resume feature, your driver doesn't have to resume the cruise if Fusion engages the brakes (as long as the vehicle is still above the minimum speed threshold).
Arm your fleet with technology that spots trouble sooner. Start today.
Wingman® Fusion's™ Multi-lane AEB can help your driver mitigate both the first, and potentially second, crash situation when more than one highway lane is blocked.
Once a collision mitigation braking event begins, and your driver steers into an adjacent lane to avoid a forward vehicle, Fusion's AEB feature will continue to apply the brakes (if needed) when it detects another forward vehicle posing a potential threat in the new lane.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Braking: Reduces throttle, engages the engine retarder, and applies the foundation brakes to help your driver maintain a set following distance after the vehicle's cruise control is set.
Following Distance Alerts (FDA) & Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Designed to support the driver on the road (available at low vehicle speeds), the audible & visual FDA alerts activate when the truck is getting too close to the forward vehicle. In addition, at speeds greater than 37 mph/50 kph, if the vehicle departs its lane without the turn signal activated, Wingman® Fusion™ will sound a "rumble strip" LDW audible alert.
Alert Prioritization: In the event of multiple, simultaneous system alerts during potentially severe events, the Fusion system will automatically prioritize them in order of importance, minimizing distractions and delivering only the most crucial alert to your driver.
Overspeed Alert & Action: Fusion's camera is capable of reading most North American roadside speed limit signs. When the camera detects that the vehicle is traveling +5 mph/8 kph over the posted speed limit, Fusion will alert your driver to slow down. If it's determined the vehicle's traveling +10 mph/16 kph (or greater), the system will alert your driver, de-throttle the engine for one second, and transmit a J1939 message for SafetyDirect® to monitor.
This feature of the Wingman Fusion system is triggered by a slower moving vehicle ahead. Fusion's combined video, radar, and braking system - at low vehicle speeds - can automatically apply full foundation brakes to help mitigate, or lessen the severity of, a potential collision.
Vehicles equipped with some previous versions of Wingman Fusion can be upgraded with new or enhanced features. Since vehicle architectures and system designs vary across OE nameplates and vehicle models, please check with your Bendix account manager to see if your vehicles can be upgraded.
Most major North American truck brands offer Wingman Fusion as standard on their highway tractors. Since 2015, North American fleets, equipping their tractors with Bendix Wingman collision mitigation technologies, have reported significant reductions in rear-end collisions - by as much as 90% - as well as decreased severity of those that did occur. The men and women behind the wheel share positive feedback, including higher satisfaction with radar and camera assistance systems than with radar only technologies, especially when it comes to false alerts and interventions.
Enhanced Wingman Fusion takes functionality to the next level. Other solutions in the market today use independent component technologies, however, without true integration - plus the unique new safety capabilities that help make Wingman Fusion the leader in collision mitigation technology - they simply can't offer the same level of premier performance. Fusion's combination of complementary technologies not only uses multiple sensors to confirm objects, but the sensors use different technologies. With the Fusion camera using visual images, and the radar using radio waves to create a cross-checked, highly accurate picture ahead of the vehicle, the system nearly eliminates false alerts and activations and can act earlier - with robust interventions - when needed.
You can be confident in the Bendix Wingman Fusion system, because at its core are tried and true technologies that have performed reliably for many years and hundreds of millions of miles. Fusion builds on the proven technology of the Bendix® ESP® full-stability system, while also adding aspects of the leading-edge Bendix® Wingman® Advanced™ collision mitigation and AutoVue® Lane Departure Warning systems.
