Only in the VW,there are more than 700 research units in Germany,USA,China and Japan who are working to achieve the maximum level of communication vehicle with the environment,other vehicles and,eventually,with the driver - through the use of digital electronics and an intuitive interface.
Among the advanced developments in recent years widespread receives control system ryadnostyu movement.In simple versions,such as on the VW Passat CC and other models,this system warns the driver audio signal or a vibrating seat that he had "lost" traffic lane and crosses the line marking without the inclusion of turn signals.The system in Russia is particularly expected,as can be,even though it will accustom drivers to use the direction indicators and report to all surrounding drivers and pedestrians about their intentions.Without this system,the Russian driver - this was the "monkey with a grenade."More advanced control system for traffic ryadnostyu take control of the car itself,and they rule themselves a car,trying to keep it within the current lane.In particular,the Lexus LS460,Honda Accord and cope with it quite well:gentle turns vehicles pass without loss of traffic lanes.In Europe,with their extensive highways,where there are no sharp bends in such a car can otpahat a lot of miles.And in Russia,such systems simply are not available.
Another system that has in the recent past has been the lot of laboratory prototypes,now implemented in many mass-produced cars.The leader here is the VW brand and Land Rover.On models of these companies are electronic systems that team driver change not only clearance,but also setting the chassis.Pioneer adaptive suspension can be considered a company Citroen,where the 60-ies,even without the participation of digital electronics,the magnitude of ground clearance and stiffness varied by the gas pressure in pnevmoelementah.Today,for example,"active chassis control DCC» on the VW Touareg by pressing a single button offers three different types of chassis and performance management.A Land Rover as directed by the driver adjusts the electronics chassis for several types of pavement.The future of these systems involves eliminate the human factor:The sensors themselves will determine the quality of road surface,speed and many other determining factors to automatically adjust the parameters of the chassis.Possible frequency adjustment - a few hundred times a second.
Another fast-growing system - Parking assistant.Until recently,this system could only unpleasant beeping, indicating the frequency and volume to squeak pripyatstviya proximity to the bumper of the car.Today,we can provide new levels of the system.First installed in cars,Nissan and Infiniti,which are due to camera in a circle and software for signal processing can build on the monitor for the driver so-called «bird view» (top view) of the car with a designation of nearby obstacles.The second,which can be met,in particular,Citroen C4 Picasso,- this is when the system finds the driver's seat for parallel parking,which could squeeze his car.At the next level system not only finds a place to park,but she performs maneuvers.Steering wheel while spinning wildly,and the driver just left pedal to control the speed of the maneuver.Model,Lexus,Audi and four different VW (Touran,Tiguan,Passat and the new Passat CC) already equipped with such a level.The next step again is based on full exclusion of people from the process of parking. Volkswagen showed a prototype of the system when the driver leaves the car,presses a button on the key fob and the car in automatic mode,gently takes the place of parking.This system Park Assist Vision lets prototype from VW with perfect precision to accommodate and to the so-called diagonal parking,which are often found in supermarkets.Often they are located too closely,which makes passengers uncomfortable squeeze between the doors and other machines for boarding and exiting the vehicle.Park Assist Vision in the very near future will put an end to this problem.
It has long been known and active cruise control »(ACC),which today is used as the" automatic remote control system in the model Lexus,BMW,Mercedes,many cars of the Japanese market,VW Phaeton,Touareg,Passat and even the new Honda Accord.The system not only maintains the set speed as a normal cruise control,but is able to brake suddenly in front of obstacles,as well as speed up and slow down,maintaining a specified distance to the vehicle in front.This system vendors also prefer not to ship to Russia.
New research projects are rapidly being introduced into production,as well as a system that until recently seemed impossible.For example,the further development of systems for active cruise control system develops into a system of emergency preparation for an inevitable clash.In the case when sensors detect a frontal collision is inevitable,cars,premium-class and even a people's car as the Golf,to take emergency measures to protect passengers:seat belts tightened and pressed riders to the chair,the system applies braking "pirotormoz.His pyrotechnic ignition is activated when a crash is almost inevitable.System is able to initiate emergency braking within 80 milliseconds - which will reduce the speed of the car in a collision at an average of 5 km / h.
In California,the championship is held annually Urban Challenge - competition for intelligent and autonomous vehicles.The car gets access to information on road infrastructure from satellites and from other machines,which allows the analysis of the situation on the road in real time.That's what makes driving in the near future more secure,efficient and enjoyable.For example,the evaluation of navigation data from the satellite,and radar sensors stereokamera help prevent excessive proximity to the roadside or to oncoming traffic.Thus it is possible to prevent the most common types of accidents.
Moreover,the cars of tomorrow will see and pay attention to each other in terms of traffic.It's like a fantasy,but it is already clear that this is reality.The system will be similar to the wireless Internet when on-board computers neighboring vehicles will be required to share information with each other.Today,as communicating on the wire stationary Internet servers.
