Driving maneuvers are described that may reduce collision consequences or that can prevent collision, in this case, with the vulnerable road user - the pedestrian. For such a level of collision prevention, some intelligent system is needed. A simple, builtin near infra red night-vision system for vehicles is described, along with results of the tests focusing on increasing the visibility of a pedestrian.

Keywords: collision avoidance, object tracking, object detection, field of view, visibility.
