GM Develops Portable Early Warning System for Motorists

GM Develops Portable Early Warning System for Motorists - GeneralMotors (GM) through various subsidiaries more intensively to develop security technologies that applied to commercial vehicles. Finally, GM claimed is developing new technology to warn drivers - dinia warnings - about the potential dangers that exist in front of him. The tool, small - for mobile phones - can be taken and work as a wireless safety network.
By phone
The tool is designed to collect information from vehicles and other infrastructure.Furthermore dignakan to remind the driver of the vehicle in front which is running slow or stop. Also notify the driver braked suddenly, slippery road, sharp turns, and intersections where pemberhatian.
This technology works from kekendaraan vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure dar.Based on the study published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), crash pecegah tools can reduce the number of accidents nearly 81 percent of highway incidents in the country.
"This security system will make a big leap to safety on the highway. The effectiveness of the system will go up drastically if many people use it, "explains senior researcher Don Grimm Vehhicle Perception and Control System GM Group.Because the devices can be easily below. No less interesting, because the price is affordable, to get will also be easier.
Transponder Jinjing

GM has been doing test runs on two platforms in this security tool, which is about the size of a GPS transponder and smart phone applications (smartphones) which can be connected to the unit vehicle information. GM also claims to be the first company to bring this technology on Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress which took place today in Colorado, United States.
This portable transponder has its own screen. While the smart phone applications, can be connected directly or integrated into the system displays the audio and video in the car. Communication between the transponder and smart phone using Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC). Delivery of data or inter-tool communication occurs within a radius of 400 meters and radiate to all directions.
DSRC radio to send and receive messages from other vehicles within a radius of 400 meters. The system can also provide information based on location data. For example, if the driver is behind the car to brake suddenly, a warning will be given automatically. Two vehicles approaching the intersection will each give a warning, before the meet in person.

ESC sensors
When connected to the car computer systems, these tools can also monitor information gathered sensors throughout the vehicle. For example, sensors that activate the "electronic stability conttrol".
Advantages of the system, smart phone easier to use by pedestrians and cyclists because it is easy dibawa.Tak less interesting, the price is relatively affordable and allows drivers get (many sellers).
