In some countries, tests of smart and robotic cars are carried out in the framework of government-supported programs, the UK and the UK Autodrive project are a good example of this. Active participation in this initiative is taken by Ford, which this week announced the development of a new systems application area of of such as "V2V" (communication between cars).
Using a radio signal distributed within a radius of 300-500 meters, system-equipped cars can receive a warning in advance about the approach of a similar car . Even the included siren and flashing in the conditions of a dense traffic do not allow to notice in time the car using a priority. In addition, when receiving a signal in advance, the driver has the opportunity to plan a maneuver.
Ford suggests using similar system to prevent collisions at intersections. The driver will be warned about the approach of the vehicle crossing the intersection to the prohibiting traffic light signal. However, at the same time it is necessary that the car of the offender also be equipped with an appropriate system. Previously, Ford had already offered to use the V2V system to warn about the use of emergency vehicles by passing cars, as well as to choose the rhythm of movement, allowing all
traffic lights to pass through a green signal. Related Products :
