Japan’s 1686 Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) is to carry out public-road tests of its driving support system that uses ITS1 technology to transmit information from traffic lights to vehicles.
For the tests, one road in Toyota City will be equipped with a system to transmit traffic light signal information via the 700-Mhz band to vehicles equipped with on-board testing systems. The system receives the information and alerts drivers via the audio system and the navigation system screen.
Driver behaviour under various driving conditions will be analysed to determine the impact of cooperative vehicle-infrastructure systems on reducing traffic accidents and CO2 emissions.
