Abstract

The 1st Advanced Safety Vehicle (ASV) project, advocated by Japan's Ministry of Transport, was carried out from 1991 to March 1996 to promote developing safety measures for the 21st century mainly by intellectualizing vehicles. This paper introduces the main features of Mitsubishi's Active Safety ASV and Passive Safety ASV which employ many state-of-the-art technologies to support the driver under various traffic situations. The Active Safety ASV is equipped with so-called "Multi-Eye System" which consists of several kinds of sensors to detect surrounding traffic situations, and "Friendly Man-Machine Interface" which consists of sophisticated indicators and warning systems. The collision avoidance system assesses the situational risk and warns the driver or performs an automatic collision avoidance if necessary. Some ASV technologies have been adopted in recent Mitsubishi's production models, and Mitsubishi Motors, including its truck and bus division, has already moved on to the 2nd ASV plan.
