Nissan Intelligent Transport System to reduce pedestrian-vehicle collisions in future
Nissan will initiate a large-scale community-based pop quiz of its Intelligent Transport System (ITS), integrating cellular communications with vehicle telematics to help prevent pedestrian-related accidents. that represents the first and largest such experiment conducted of its kind, involving 500 pedestrians and 200 drivers, and in collaboration with NTT DoCoMo Inc, the largest mobile network operator in Japan. Participants will use a special cellular phone that is compatible to the Nissan navigation system on-board tryout vehicles, and simply go about their regular daily routines, commuting within the neighborhood. As a vehicle is approaching a residential city area where many blind intersections exist, the
This is possible as the knowledge server detects goods transmitted via GPS (Global Positioning System) to the cellular phone carried by the pedestrian and sends it to the vehicle navigation system, which soon after triggers the wide-awake. The system assists the driver to take precautionary measures and drive more carefully, which can help to reduce pedestrian-vehicle collisions. The pilot project will be conducted in Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture for a two-month period from November 1 to December 27
