Honda has participated in the Advanced Safety Vehicle (ASV) project from Phase 1 (April 1991- March 1996), and in that time has developed and commercialized a number of advanced safety systems including Honda Intelligent Driver Support System, Collision Mitigation Brake System and Intelligent Night Vision System.
The firm's Collision Mitigation Brake System - CMS - scans 100 metres ahead with radar linked to a computer calculating safe stopping distance from the car in front.
The Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS)[8] provides audio and visual warnings and braking to alert the driver and to help avoid a rear-end collision or mitigate damage and injuries in the event that one should occur.
The Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMS) emits warnings if the motorist is at risk of a rear-end collision - just like David Hasselhoff's high-tech car KITT in the hit 1980s TV show.
ACC is supplemented with the Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS), which predicts potential collision situations and reacts to reduce the impact on occupants and vehicle damage by activating driver warnings, initiating braking and, via E-Pretensioners, retracting seatbelts in readiness.
Honda has participated in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport-promoted Advanced Safety Vehicle (ASV) project since Phase 1 (April 1991- March 1996), and in that time has developed and commercialized a number of advanced safety systems such as Honda Intelligent Driver Support System, Collision Mitigation Brake System and Intelligent Night Vision System.
In addition to the quartet of new and revised models, Honda will also be exhibiting the European Legend Prototype, and a Technical Display showing Legend's advanced safety systems such as the Pop-up Hood designed to reduce pedestrian head injury, Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS), and Intelligent Night Vision System.
