Contributing to a Safe and Secure Mobility Society
New developments in autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and environmental awareness are pushing the automotive industry toward a major transformation. In addition to supporting safer vehicles, Kyocera is developing technologies and products for a safe and secure mobility society, including smart transportation infrastructure.
Toward Building a Smart Mobility Platform to Realize a Safe, Secure,
and Comfortable Transportation Society
Cooperative Road-Vehicle System
Sensors installed on infrastructure, for example, at intersections with poor visibility, detect information such as the position and speed of pedestrians and vehicles in blind spots. In addition, the system communicates the detected information using ITS* wireless roadside units to onboard units installed in vehicles and bicycles to warn drivers of danger.
The early practical application of this system will improve the safety of automated driving, which is difficult to achieve through vehicle-side technological innovations alone, and contribute to the realization of a next-generation transportation society where everyone can live with peace of mind.
