TOYOTA INTREGATED SAFETY SYSTEMS

Toyota is aiming to develop safe vehicles and technology based on the "Integrated Safety Management Concept."

The Japanese-based motor manufacturer, one of the world's largest, has been researching automated driving technologies since the second half of the 1990s, and has been conducting public road tests in the USA for a number of years. It has also been road-testing its next-generation Intelligent Driver-support System in Japan for more than two years.

Toyota is taking into account the fact people are living and remaining active for much longer, developing technology that will support older drivers with recognition, decision making and vehicle operation so that they can remain mobile and lead fuller lives. Toyota is also working to create more stable driving environments that will help alleviate congestion, and thus reduce economic losses and carbon emissions.

The "Integrated Safety Management Concept" pursues a higher level of safety by linking each individual safety technology system equipped on vehicles. Toyota says that it hopes to achieve a vehicle that causes no accidents by implementing safety technologies and developing automobiles that communicate with road infrastructure and surrounding vehicles.

In the "Integrated Safety Management Concept", driving circumstances are classified by the intensity of possible dangers. In other words, Toyota vehicles will assist drivers in each stage of driving (Parking, Active Safety, Pre-Crash Safety, Passive Safety and Rescue) and integrating each system.
