Honda Develops Virtual Towed Technology
Honda will introduce automated highway driving technology at the World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems at the 7-11 October 2014, in Detroit, United States (USA). This technology was introduced as part of the development of the car otonomos. Quoted from mfrtech.com, this technology is the development of cruise control and lane departure. Its use on the highway will be tested in one of the 12.8 miles of roads in Detroit.
The key element that is trying to achieve is the ability to address the needs of braking, to survive in the lane, and adaptation speed while on the highway.
Feature-level hazard lane and lane change automated system will use vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) to warn the driver of obstacles. In addition, if needed, or in danger, the steering wheel can deflect automatically.
"Virtual Towed"
V2V also has the ability to "virtual tow". This idea was created to help drivers who are experiencing health problems. Described, when the driver needs help (for example, a heart attack or stroke), he could turn to another car that also has a V2V.
When connected, the car can run on the back of the car being towed helper like, but without the use of hooks, relying only V2V systems. This feature can be used up to a safe place, for example, to the hospital. Another theory, this technology can also be used to reduce the potential for accidents arising from drunk driver error.
Motorcycles and pedestrians
Not only that, Honda is also developing other ideas of V2V, the vehicle-to-motorcycle (V2M), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), and vehicle-to-bicycle (V2B). The goal is to make travel safer for everyone.
"Creation and development of intelligent transportation systems represent a new way so that one day no longer exist when the traffic collision, injury, and even death. We will demonstrate our vision to realize the dream of Honda in creating collision-free environment by continuing to showcase technological innovation," said Frank Paluch, president of Honda R & D Americas, Inc.
