NEW YORK — Nissan Motor's anti-accident technology will make its U.S. debut at the 15th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems here next week. The 'All-Around Collision Free' prototype functions to prevent collisions of many kinds through vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication systems. Nissan will also show off its 'cooperative intelligent transport' technologies at the meeting.A variety of prevention technologies are part of the setup, including back-up and side collision prevention systems, Distance Control Assist and Lane Departure Prevention. The side collision prevention system has side-mounted sensors that activate a warning if another vehicle is detected in the intended lane and can activate a 'yaw mechanism' to move the vehicle toward the center of the original lane of travel. The back-up collision prevention works similarly, to warn and then activate the brakes if an object is detected in the vehicle's path.Lane Departure Prevention detects lane markers and calculates the vehicle's position relative to them, sounding a warning and using the yaw mechanism to redirect the vehicle's path if necessary.Nissan will also show its group of four Cooperative Intelligent Transport Technologies at the conference. Signal Violation Warning, Cross Traffic Notification, Oncoming Traffic Notification and Cooperative Intelligent Cruise Control are all ways to 'help inform the driver and help control the vehicle.' All involve a setup of sensors and warning systems. Most interesting may be the Cooperative ICC, which will apply the brakes and bring the vehicle to a stop when a light is red or 'will soon turn red.'Nissan has been working on these systems for three years, developing short-range communication technology between roadside and onboard equipment as well as GPS-assisted vehicle positioning technology.The conference takes place during the week of November 16 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.Inside Line says: Eventually an infrastructure will be set up to let these items work on major cities' roads, and then your car may be a better driver and more law-abiding citizen than you are. — Laura Sky Brown, Correspondent
