BMW’s
current focus is a car to car communication
system that offers more pedestrian
protection by sensing situations.
The communication system helps the
driver to adjust to the traffic conditions
in advance. It gives all related information
regarding the vehicles in close purview.
This project is said to be the part
of the AMULETT and is aiming to prevent
accidents by using sensoring and tracking
technology.
This can be achieved by networking
the car with another one or with the
transponders carried with the driver.
The transponders can be installed
in a school bag, mobile phones, walking
stick etc.
The system determines the impending
collision and warns the driver on
the head up display, and if the driver
fails to respond then the system automatically
triggers the breaking procedure.
On successful completion of this project,
road accidents can be reduced drastically. |
