| Honda Brand If the rider does not slow down when approaching an intersection a warning appears on the motorcycles display screen and an audio warning sounds in the riders helmet prompting the rider to decelerate. In addition once the motorcycle has come to a stop the InterVehicle Communication System detects the position of any approaching vehicles assisting the rider in determining whether it is safe to proceed through the intersection. |
| Honda Specs Automobiles Information on intersections that are without traffic signals is gathered from car navigation system data. Honda Brand. Images from the vehicles cameras are analyzed to detect stop lines and stop signs. |
| Honda Rebates Based on the vehicles speed and distance to the stop line the system determines whether the vehicle is traveling at a speed that will enable it to stop by the time it reaches the stop line. If the vehicle is exceeding the appropriate speed the system issues an audio warning while signaling the driver to slow down with a sensory warning via the application of gentle intermittent braking. Honda Specs. Once the automobile has come to a stop the InterVehicle Communication System detects the position of any approaching vehicles and assists the driver in determining whether it is safe to proceed through the intersection. |
| Honda Pictures Motorcycle Technologies Conspicuity Enhancement Designs FACE Design The human brain exhibits a strong response to facial patterns especially to the eyes and mouth. Hondas new FACE design for ASV3 takes advantage of this to make motorcycles more noticeable to other motorists by modifying the front of the motorcycle so that it resembles a human face. Honda Rebates. The FACE design is the result of collaborative research and development efforts by Wako Research Center the Asaka R&D Center and Honda Research Institute Japan. |
| Honda Colors In fact brain function measurements taken with fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) confirm that the FACE design elicits a response in the brain similar to that when a human face is seen. Honda Brand. This design significantly improves motorcycle visibility. |
| Honda Safety LONG Design Since the light from a conventional motorcycles headlights comes only from the center of the vehicle it is often difficult to judge a motorcycles distance and speedoften it seems to be farther away and moving more slowly than reality. To achieve nearly the same level of visibility as automobiles ASV3 motorcycles are outfitted with two sets of highintensity LED lights at two different heights. Honda Brand. This improves motorists ability to judge a motorcycles distance by approximately 10% and improve the ability to assess its speed by approximately 20% as compared with conventional motorcycles. |
| Honda Comparisons FACE LONG Rear View Assistance System The status of other vehicles approaching from behind is captured by a rearmounted camera and presented on the motorcycles display. Honda Brand. The system helps make maneuvers such as changing lanes safer by providing riders with information about vehicles approaching from the rear that are not easily seen in a rear view mirror. |
| Honda Generations Automobile Technology Headon Collision Avoidance Assistance System When an approaching vehicle is hidden from view for example around a blind curve the system communicates with the oncoming vehicle to ascertain important information such as its position speed and steering wheel angle. If the driver begins to change lanes into the path of an oncoming vehicle the accelerator pedal vibrates and torque is applied to the steering wheel (pulling in the opposite direction from the driver) sending a tactile warning that prompts the driver to return to his or her own lane. Honda Brand. Cornering Speed Control System As a vehicle approaches a curve this system uses information from the vehicles navigation system to assess the curvature of the road and calculates the vehicles appropriate speed. |
| Honda Test Drive If the vehicle is traveling above that speed the system applies the brakes to slow the car to the appropriate speed. When a vehicle encounters unexpected changes in road conditions such as a lane closing or road work not reflected in the navigation system data the system uses information acquired from vehicles ahead traveling in the same direction and oncoming vehicles to determine the appropriate speed for the current road conditions. Adaptive Cruise Control System If a vehicle one or two vehicles ahead of the car slows down in a place such as a blind curve where the vehicle can not be detected by radar the InterVehicle Communication System acquires deceleration data and calculates the appropriate speed for the car. Honda Brand. If the car is traveling above the appropriate speed the system issues an audio warning and reduces the speed of the car. |
| Used Cars, Car Insurance If the vehicle directly ahead of the car is detectable by radar the system uses the radar information to calculate the appropriate speed for the car (as with the existing Intelligent Highway Cruise Control system). Honda Brand. Using intervehicle communication technology in parallel with radar allows the system to acquire and report a broader range of information about the vehicle ahead. Honda Rebates. Advanced Adaptive FrontalLighting System Cars traveling at night exchange positional information via the InterVehicle Communication System. Honda Pictures. As the vehicles approach a point close enough that one of the drivers could be blinded the system automatically switches the headlights to low beam. Honda Brand. Even when visibility is limited the system automatically switches the headlights to low beam just before vehicles pass each other to avoid blinding the driver of the oncoming vehicle. |
