The automaker’s technologies include driving safety support systems (DSSS) and an advanced safety vehicle (ASV).
The test is targeting technology to be partially applied in fiscal year 2010.
Conducted by the ITS promotion committee, a private-public joint organisation, the test begins on 12 January in Odaiba, the new Tokyo waterfront area. Driving demonstrations will be held for the media and public from 25 February.
Nissan has been developing advanced vehicle-to-infrastructure communications systems with the participation of 2,000 people since 2006 and this has been officially adopted for the DSSS part of this test. The goal of the large-scale test is to develop an understanding of the service effectiveness and the practical use of the system. Accident prevention effectiveness will be evaluated, too.
