MERCEDES-BENZ has developed new Connected Vehicle technology that alerts drivers to oncoming potholes or big bumps in the road ahead.
According to the new technology, if the chassis control unit detects a certain level of sudden suspension pressure and rebound, as may occur when hitting a pothole or speed bump, the technology will activate the Mercedes “Car-to-X” communication system to send information to Mercedes’ cloud storage. -Benz.
or “Attention, speed!”
As a warning to slow down on bumps.
Mercedes cars targeted by technology
This technology comes as standard on the latest S-Class and
EQS models – and comes as an option on the latest Mercedes-Benz C-Class versions,
although it will be available for download for those with Mercedes-Benz cars from 2016 onwards .
And it can do the same thing when it detects crosswinds on the highway, according to Mercedes.
In addition, if the driver runs its wipers to their fastest position in heavy rain, the car picks up the possibility of a sudden downpour and alerts other drivers accordingly, says the car maker.
It is also able to communicate things like breakdowns, fog, accidents and other potential obstacles on the road, all of which will be communicated to other cars via navigation icons and audio alerts.
Although the company did not mention the IQA model, I think it will be equipped with this new technology.
According to a survey by car maintenance chain Kwik Fit last year, pothole damage costs UK motorists more than £1.2 billion a year, with an average repair bill of £115 of wrecked tyres, wheels and suspension components.
Other studies have put the figure at nearly £4 billion, with North West England and Glasgow being the worst parts of the country in terms of road surfaces.
The majority of motorists surveyed in the studies say they are willing to pay the increased council tax if it means that poor road surfaces have been treated properly.
The RAC appears to attend up to 1,000 pot-related collapses per month while potholes can also pose a particular danger to cyclists.
This is what drivers suffer from in different parts of the world, and perhaps in certain parts of many countries, so the Mercedes alert system is about to start working overtime.
MERCEDES-BENZ and other companies
Malaki.com is contacting European companies to find out whether this purification will be limited to Mercedes only, and
we got a comment from daimler about the same technology , in which she said: We are working together for more safety in road traffic: In cooperation with HERE Technologies,
Tom Tom and transport authorities will
In six European countries, Daimler, BMW, Ford and Volvo are testing how to transmit information about extremely dangerous situations using Car-to-X technology.
The testing phase is scheduled to last twelve months, starting with the Netherlands.
TomTom is an organization that works to provide maps and locations for both car manufacturers and drivers of cars of all kinds, to provide more information about the roads and the dangers surrounding drivers, and the new technology is expected to save thousands of lives and properties not only in European countries but all over the world.
The new technology looks at how to enable cars to get information about a sudden danger – for example slippery conditions or an accident – moving to the next or approaching traffic as quickly as possible?
Daimler has already used mobile network technologies as a standard for sending vehicle-to-vehicle (vehicle-to-vehicle) hazard warnings since 2013. For the first time, leading OEMs and navigation services are now working on a common solution,
Non-manufacturer and EU-wide solution.
The transport ministries of Germany, Spain, Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Sweden are supporting the project.
The aim of the pilot project that started today is to conduct research into the technical, economic and legal aspects of Car-to-X.
Car-to-X is the term used to describe the connection between vehicles and transportation infrastructure.
