\nLeverkusen, 24 September 2012. Mazda Motor Corporation will highlight \u201ci-ACTIVSENSE\u201d technologies in the all-new Mazda6, which will take centre stage at this year\u2019s Paris Motor Show and go on sale later this year. \u201ci-ACTIVSENSE\u201d is a series of advanced safety technologies designed by Mazda to aid the driver in recognizing hazards, in avoiding collisions and reducing the severity of accidents when they cannot be avoided. The all-new Mazda6 will be equipped with the full range of \u201ci-ACTIVSENSE\u201d technologies that deliver excellent safety performance over a wide range of driving conditions. <\/p>\n
At Mazda, the research and development of safety technology is based upon the company\u2019s safety philosophy, Mazda Proactive Safety, which aims to minimize the risk of an accident by maximizing the range of conditions in which the driver can safely operate the vehicle. <\/p>\n
Mazda\u2019s \u201ci-ACTIVSENSE\u201d describes a group of advanced safety technologies, developed in line with Mazda Proactive Safety, which make use of detection devices such as milliwave radars and cameras. They includes active safety technologies that help the driver recognize potential hazards, and pre-crash safety technologies which help avert collisions or reduce their severity in situations where they cannot be avoided.<\/p>\n
Mazda\u2019s advanced safety technology \u201ci-ACTIVSENSE\u201d
\nThe ultimate goal of Mazda Proactive Safety is to realize collision-free driving. In pursuit of this ideal Mazda will continue to expand its research and development of safety technologies in order to provide customers with both driving pleasure and outstanding environmental and safety performance. <\/p>\n
Table of i-ACTIVSENSE technologies
\nDriving Support \tMazda Radar Cruise
\nControl (MRCC)
\n\tJudges the relative speed of, and distance to, the car ahead and works within a set speed range to maintain a safe following distance, thus alleviating some of the burden on the driver when driving on motorways.
\nHazard Recognition Support\tForward Obstruction Warning (FOW)\tDetects vehicles in front and alerts the driver to an approaching risk of collision early enough for the driver to brake or take evasive action.
\n\tLane Departure
\nWarning System
\n(LDWS) \tDetects lane markings on the road surface and warns drivers of imminent unintentional lane departures.
\n\tRear Vehicle Monitoring (RVM) \tDetects cars in the blind spot on either side or approaching from behind and alerts the driver to potential risks.
\n\tHigh-Beam Control
\nSystem (HBC) \tDetects oncoming traffic and vehicles in front and automatically switches headlights between high and low beam, improving visibility at night and aiding hazard avoidance.
\n\tAdaptive Front-lighting
\nSystem (AFS)
\n\tSupports safe driving at night by turning the headlights based on the degree of steering input and vehicle speed to maximize illumination and visibility at curves and intersections
\nCollision Avoidance \/
\nDamage Reduction Support\tSmart Brake Support
\n(SBS)\tHelps reduce the severity of a collision by automatically applying the brakes when a risk of frontal collision is detected while driving at speeds of 15 km\/h or faster.
\n\tSmart City Brake
\nSupport (SCBS)
\n\tAutomatically stops the car, or reduces the speed of the car, when there is a risk of collision with the vehicle in front while travelling at speeds of between 4 and 30 km\/h. This helps the driver avoid or reduce the severity of a crash.
\n\tDistance Recognition Support System (DRSS):\tSenses distance to preceding vehicle and, taking speed into account, indicates time until car catches up with preceding vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
