Toyota recently released the latest technologies to help improve driving safety. They introduced a system which was first created in the world, the satellite mapping system splice (GPS) with a mechanical braking system on the car.
With Aisin AW Co. took. Ltd. (manufacturing system on a car mechanics), ZENRIN Co.. Ltd. (navigation software manufacturers), and Toyota Mapmaster Incorporated, Toyota believes this technology will reduce accidents at the intersection. Furthermore, will apply to each line up of Toyota’s domestic future. For information, research results of the US-Japan Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) found that 58% of accidents happen in the intersection and 30% of accidents occur due to the unavailability or not compliance with traffic signs, as quoted by Autocar.
How it works is fairly simple technology. A navigation system will monitor the position of the car (BASED on the front and back of the car), which was in the main line (row four lines), as well as road markers marked STOP. This system also mapped the accident-prone intersection on the basis of the report, Toyota Motor Corporation Integrated Safety Management Concept.
While efforts to prevent the accident itself is divided into three stages. First, the alarm alert is an audio-visual will be reminded of the accident-prone intersection or traffic markers STOP. Accuracy of the time, approximately 100 m before the sign. The second stage, audio-visual alarm will be back “shout” louder, if the driver still has not slowed his car. When it works, about four seconds before the car approached the sign.
