Noida - Reported by automotto, Wednesday (05/30/2012) position at the top is a GPS (Global Positioning System and Cruise Control followed. What other technologies?
Reaction between young and elderly drivers are quite different. Responsiveness involves the ability of younger and older riders are also quite significant.
In comparison, older riders who act more slowly than younger riders. Differences in driving character is necessarily determine the level of road safety.
Riders are more vulnerable older people with joint disorders, lack of vision and hearing. Of course this can affect driving ability.
Well, considering the number of abilities, many car manufacturers and private companies to develop technology that helps the rider was assessed.
1. Pedestrian Detection System
These features are starting berkemang in 2010. Toyota began to implement these features on the Camry and the Prius in 2011. Proved a warning to motorists when there are pedestrians in front of the car is powerful to give safety to motorists and pedestrians.
2. DriveLAB
Feature is the result of the development of the University of Newcastle-called 'DriveLAB'. An intelligent system that helps older drivers in the use of navigation tools, to know the speed of the vehicle night vision systems. These features are also highly optimized to monitor stress levels older riders.
3. Night Vision
Advantage of these features can detect any object in front at night. With tools such as night vision clearer and more berkonsetrasi riders. The tool can recognize objects in front of a radius of 15 -100 meters.
4. Crash Avoidance Systems
Features were developed by Ford. These features are membantuk motorists communicate with each other to avoid accidents. Unfortunately the feature is not yet a mass product.
5. Self Parking
Cars can be parked automatically. Ford and Lexus is the first car manufacturer to develop such features. The technology uses a sensor, so the rider is quite off the wheel, let it move according to steering a car parked perfectly.
6. Traffic Sign Recognition Technology
Such features will soon reprove us when it raced at high speed in the speed limit zone.
7. Hill Descent Control atau HDC
The technology is optimal when the car was in a fairly steep derivatives. The technology could hold the car until the legs are not dropped down. Just give the car a little power will be sliding down.
8. GPS (Global Positioning System)
The technology is considered to be very helpful older riders are difficult to memorize the terrain. Because these tools can provide information and local roads that are not understood by the rider.
9. Cruise Control
This one technology can help older drivers while setting the speed of the car. Semi-automatic control can also set the distance the vehicle with the vehicle ahead. With these features can also minimize fuel consumption. Riders can be more relaxed behind the wheel.
