- Diverse safety initiatives toward "Zero Traffic Collision
Fatalities"
- Electrification solutions toward Carbon
Neutrality
TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 12,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Honda Motor Co., Ltd. will
showcase its latest initiatives to realize carbon neutrality, as
well as developments in next-generation driver assist technology,
information-communication and control technologies, at the
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) World Congress 2022 in
Los Angeles, California,
September 18-22.
The ITS World Congress is an international conference where
participants present and discuss achievements made in the research,
development and practical application of ITS technologies for
resolving various traffic / transport-related challenges.
Key technologies showcased in the
Honda exhibits
Honda initiatives toward the
realization of "zero traffic collision fatalities"
Initiatives to cut traffic
collision fatalities in half by 2030
- Honda SENSING 360
Featuring omnidirectional sensing
which removes blind spots around the vehicle, Honda SENSING 360
contributes to the avoidance of collisions with other vehicles and
pedestrians as well as a reduction of the driving burden. The
knowledge and know-how amassed through the research and development
of Level 3 automated driving technologies have been utilized in the
development of Honda SENSING 360.
- Honda Drive Data Service
Utilizing driving / vehicle
behavior data and location information, the system analyzes and
evaluates the traffic environment including locations where brakes
are used frequently. Honda Drive Data Service is designed to reduce
the risk of traffic collisions by identifying potentially dangerous
spots on the road which may cause traffic collisions and enabling
the user to improve the traffic infrastructure.
- Road Hazard Condition Monitoring System
Honda is
piloting a prototype, in-vehicle system that uses ADAS (advanced
driver-assistance system) cameras to detect hazardous road
conditions such as potholes and construction zones, and provides
relevant alerts to drivers and motorcyclists in the vicinity. The
system is designed to enhance the safety of everyone sharing the
road by calling attention to potential road hazards before vehicles
pass through the area. Watch a demonstration of Honda's prototype
road hazard condition monitoring system at

Ongoing research into future
technologies to achieve zero collision fatalities by 2050
- Technology to Understand People
Honda aims to reduce
human error that causes traffic collisions to zero by revealing the
true factors behind human error through causal analysis of brain
activities and risk-taking behavior while driving.
- Driver Augmentation HMI (human-machine interface)
This technology helps give peace of mind suited to the driving
behavior and respective traffic situation of each individual by
providing driver-assistive support. Honda's goal is to reduce the
occurrence of human error while driving.
- Pedestrian Dart-out Prevention System (Warning System for
Pedestrian Terminals)
This system enables cooperation
between cars and pedestrians by sending alerts to pedestrians in a
potentially dangerous position and enabling them to refrain from
darting out in traffic. Moreover, the system notifies vehicles in
the vicinity of pedestrians who cannot be seen from the moving
vehicle due to obstacles such as parked cars along the
roadside.
- Safe and Sound Network Technology
Honda will strive
for the realization of a "collision-free" mobility society by
connecting everyone sharing the road through telecommunications,
making it possible to predict potential risks and help people avoid
such risks before collisions occur.
Honda initiatives toward the
realization of carbon neutrality
- Honda Mobile Power Pack e: (MPP e:)
As part of Honda's pursuit of carbon neutrality, Honda will expand
the use of renewable energy through further utilization of Honda's
portable and swappable batteries. These batteries can be shared
among various products and other electrified products, which take
advantage of unique characteristics of MPP e:.
- Honda Fuel Cell Systems
A new fuel cell
system jointly developed with GM achieves lower cost and long
lasting durability. Having the capability to connect multiple units
to increase output, the system can expand the application from
mobility to power generation for various industries. With this fuel
cell system, Honda is striving to popularize the use of
hydrogen.
