On Thursday this week, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. announced SENSING, describing it as a new driver-assistive system which will first be equipped to the all-new Legend to go on sale in Japan before the end of this year. The system will then be successively integrated to more models in the future.
Honda explained SENSING was developed as another step toward the realization of a collision-free society, for not only automobile occupants and motorcycle riders but everyone who shares the road need not worry about potential accidents. The pursuit of a collision-free society is a part of Honda’s global safety concept, “Safety for Everyone.” SENSING consists of two types of sensors with different characteristics. One is a millimeter-wave radar located inside the front grille, and the other is a monocular camera mounted on the upper, inside part of the windshield.
Honda added with further improvement in performance, the new millimeter-wave radar expanded its scope of detection to include pedestrians regarded as being hard to detect due to their low rate of radio wave reflection as well as the position and speed of target object. Moreover, the monocular camera identifies attributes and sizes of pedestrians and other target objects which come in range within approximately 60 meters ahead of the vehicle, achieving recognition with improved accuracy.
