Development of New Technology Designed to Prevent Vehicles Potential Rear End Collision by NISSAN

This may come as a welcoming news for major automobile insurers, helping to reduce number of fender benders and back lashes type of claims as a start. Well, according to Nissan announcement, the company has developed a new technology which Nissan calls it “Forward Collision Avoidance Assist”, a technology that has been developed to address both potential rear end collision one being in helping the driver to avoid hitting the vehicle immediately ahead of it in the lane as well as helping to reduce the potential risk of sudden braking, causing the vehicle to be rear-ended by the vehicle approaching form behind. The new system is capable of avoiding possible collision at forward speeds of approximately 60kph, the highest among the forward collision avoidance systems.
The system uses a highly sensitive radar sensor for monitoring the distance from the front vehicle and its relative speed. In an event that deceleration is required, the system alerts the driver using both a screen display as well as sound, and afterward the system will generate a force that pushes the accelerator pedal up while smoothly applies partial breaking to assists the driver in slowing down the vehicle. In an event where, a possibility of a collision is high, the system will automatically apply harder braking and tighten the driver’s seat belt. The new development is part of Nissan
“Safety Shield” concept.
