Colisiones Vehiculares

NISSAN REDUCIRÁ LAS COLISIONES VEHICULARES

En el marco del 15º Congreso mundial de sistemas inteligentes de transporte que se desarrollará en Nueva York entre el 16 y 20 de este mes, Nissan presentará y demostrará el funcionamiento de un sistema que conjuga varias tecnologías para la prevención de colisiones entre las que destaca por poseer BCP (Back-up Collision Prevention) que es el primero en su clase y que se diferencia de los que hemos visto hasta el momento, que son sólo sensores direccionales que miden proximidad.

Por su lado el nuevo sistema de Nissan es capaz de detectar y advertir el peligro proveniente de cualquier dirección, incluyendo la posibilidad de proyectar la trayectoria de otro vehículo que podría interferir en nuestro carril (SCP o Side Collision Prevention), además de verificadores de las condiciones del camino (LDP) y el ya conocido DCA que mide la distancia con el vehículo que se encuentra adelante del nuestro y no sólo tendrá alertas luminosas y sonoras, sino que también tomará parcialmente el control del vehículo al accionar levemente los frenos para propender a la desaceleración en situaciones de riesgo.

Sólo queda esperar que estas investigaciones redunden en vehículos más seguros, cuestión en la que Nissan lleva un buen trecho avanzado al desarrollar sistemas como éste o como el que les contamos hace unas semanas que ayuda a prevenir atropellos.

NISSAN TO DEMONSTRATE WORLD’S FIRST BACK-UP COLLISION PREVENTION PROTOTYPE VEHICLE

Nissan will demonstrate its advanced All-Around Collision Free prototype vehicle - complete with two all-new accident avoidance technologies- at the 15th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), to be held at New York City's Jacob K. Javits Center, from Nov. 16 – 20.This is the first time the "All-Around Collision Free" prototype will be displayed in the United States and the world's first demonstration of Back-up Collision Prevention (BCP). The prototype also incorporates Side Collision Prevention (SCP) and two current production technologies, Distance Control Assist (DCA) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP).

The Nissan All-Around Collision Free prototype vehicle further extends Nissan's Safety Shield concept to help protect the vehicle and its occupants from potential risks coming from multiple directions.

NEW YORK (Nov. 11, 2008) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced it will demonstrate its advanced "All-Around Collision Free" prototype vehicle - complete with two all-new accident avoidance technologies- at the 15th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The ITS World Congress, to be held at New York City's Jacob K. Javits Center, from Nov. 16 - 20, showcases future vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications systems.

This is the first time the "All-Around Collision Free" prototype will be displayed in the United States and the world's first demonstration of Back-up Collision Prevention (BCP). The prototype also incorporates Side Collision Prevention (SCP) and two current production technologies, Distance Control Assist (DCA) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP).

The "All-Around Collision Free" prototype vehicle further extends Nissan's "Safety Shield" concept to help protect the vehicle and its occupants from potential risks coming from multiple directions. Following is a brief overview of the key systems:

Side Collision Prevention: As the vehicle begins to change lanes, side-mounted sensors activate a warning if another vehicle is detected in the intended lane. A yaw mechanism is then activated through brake control of individual wheels on the opposite side of the vehicle, to help prevent a potential collision by moving the vehicle toward the center of the original lane of travel.

Distance Control Assist and Lane Departure Prevention: Distance Control Assist (DCA) detects the distance to objects in front of the vehicle. When the vehicle is approaching an object, DCA will display a warning symbol, sound an alarm, and move the accelerator pedal up against the driver's foot. If the throttle is not being applied, DCA will gently apply the brakes to help encourage deceleration.

Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) assists with maintaining lane position by detecting lane markers and calculating position relative to them. If the vehicle approaches the lane markers, a warning illuminates and an alarm sounds. If the vehicle continues to travel toward the lane markers, the system activates the yaw mechanism (described in SCP above) to help move the vehicle toward the center of the lane.

Both the DCA and LDP systems complement the SCP and BCP to move toward an "All-Around Collision Free" prototype. These warning systems and preventive safety features are designed to help support the driver in an intuitive manner with minimal intervention.

NISSAN TO DISPLAY FOUR ADVANCED COOPERATIVE INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGIES AT ITS WORLD CONGRESS

Nissan today announced that four advanced Cooperative Intelligent Transport technologies will be shown at the 15th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) to be held at New York City's Jacob K. Javits Center from Nov. 16 – 20.The Nissan systems on display include Signal Violation Warning, Cross Traffic Notification, Oncoming Traffic Notification and Cooperative Intelligent Cruise Control. Nissan is developing these advanced systems for future applications to help inform the driver and help control the vehicle, with the goal of contributing to improved traffic safety as the infrastructure is implemented.

These advanced systems utilize dedicated short range communication (DSRC) technology between road side equipment (RSE), on-board equipment (OBE) in the vehicle and other vehicles, and GPS-assisted high-accuracy vehicle positioning technology. The vehicles equipped with the GPS receiver and OBE recognizes high accuracy map information, determines approximate vehicle positions, and receives traffic signal information when approaching intersections.
