Toyota has unveiled a range of active safety systems and passive, was developed for application to future models.
Japanese carmaker, said the safety technology is focused on the protection of both the older drivers and pedestrians, by the statistics in Japan, more than half of the deaths traffic accident at age 65, while the number of pedestrian deaths also gradually higher passenger car.
Recently, Toyota has established the Center for Security Cooperation in the United States to be associated with universities, hospitals and research organizations to collect data from the crash occurred around the world to improve testing of its products. Here are four key safety technologies currently under development Toyota.
Collision warning (Pre-Crash Safety - PCS)
The system uses millimeter radar and camera to control the way forward. If detected obstacle, the system automatically brakes without driver intervention. In addition, PCS can also change the direction of the vehicle if the driver not to react to avoid accidents.
Bonnet Pop-up (Pop-up Bonnet)
Toyota is designing a new body structure to minimize injuries in collisions with pedestrians using the data from the time the dummy crash test. The company has developed bonnet new pop-up, automatically increasing the distance between pedestrians and motor, which helps limit injuries. Ca-po pop-up will burst and blew up to support the first part of the victims, not to collide directly with the hard steel of the engine below.
Emergency response technology (Emergency Response Technology)
Some cases of accidents due to driver suffered a heart attack or fainted. Toyota's new system will control the strength of heart function by holding the driver through the steering wheel and found yourself. Currently, Toyota has introduced the beta to the Conference of Health and Japan will develop further in order to put into practice.
Glancing headlights under the steering wheel (Adaptive Driving Beam)
This system is self-reinforcing change the headlights when the car reverse light or bright enough on the road, and then transformed itself into a phase when the core tunnel, dark road.
