Nissan Motor will introduce two pioneering technologies with its new Fuga, set for release in Japan this month - the world's first distance control assist and navigation-enabled intelligent cruise control systems.
The pioneering distance control assist system helps control the distance between two vehicles under various traffic conditions, from congested urban roads to high-speed expressways. The improved intelligent cruise control system integrates route-information via the on-board navigation system to monitor the vehicle's cruising speed to match the actual road - for example, the sharpness of the next curve.
The distance control assist system determines the following distance of the driver's vehicle, as well as the relative speed of both vehicles, using a radar sensor installed in the front bumper.
When a vehicle approaches close to the vehicle ahead and the accelerator is not engaged, the system activates the brakes to decelerate smoothly. Alternatively, if the accelerator is engaged, the acceleration actuator is activated through a 'push-back' mechanism to help the driver to release the pedal.
