19th March, 2006 In its ongoing efforts to improve traffic safety, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., has announced the development of Distance Control Assist System, an electronic system that helps drivers control the distance between themselves and the vehicle in front. The new system is, apparently, useful in heavy traffic when frequent braking is required. |
 |
The system is able to determine the following distance of the driver, as well as the relative speed of both cars, using a radar sensor installed in the front bumper. If the driver releases the accelerator or is not pressing the accelerator, the system automatically applies the brakes.*1 If the system determines that braking is required, an indicator will appear on the instrument panel and a buzzer will sound simultaneously. The accelerator will then automatically move upwards to assist the driver in switching to the brakes. |
|
The Distance Control Assist System is the latest innovation developed under Nissan's Safety Shield concept, an accident prevention and management approach based on the idea of “vehicles that help protect people.” *1 The system applies the brakes only when the driver is not pressing the accelerator.
