Nissan on Wednesday released details of its latest safety technologies to help reduce fatal and serious injuries in collisions between vehicles.
Improved signal technology helps cameras to detect people, other vehicles, the road and obstacles around the vehicle while an Acceleration Suppression for Pedal Misapplication (which intervenes when the incorrect pedal is depressed) and a multi-sensing system help drivers to take evasive action before an accident could occur.
The pedal suppression system is also useful in confined areas, such as parking lots, as it uses four cameras around to vehicle to detect whether it is on a road or not, and will head off drivers who apply the accelerator to lustily or confuse the accelerator and brake pedals. This system is also designed to detect obstacle via sonar and automatically apply the brakes when a collision is detected.

MOVING OBJECTS
The multi-sensing system also uses the four-camera, Around View Monitor to detect people other obstacles at the rear and sides of the car.
It incorporates a visual and audible blind spot warning, lane departure warning and a clever moving option detection function that detects moving objects (think kids and pets) behind a reversing car and alerts the driver.
Along with this, a predictive forward collision warning system detects deceleration of a vehicle two cars ahead to help prevent pile-ups. The vehicle analyses the relative velocity and gap between the two leading vehicles and uses the information to gauge when to decelerate, warn the driver and tighten the seat belt.
Some of the systems unveiled at Nissan’s Grandrive proving ground in Oppama, Japan, will be rolled out in new models across the globe from as early as 2012, the manufacturer said.
