Black box (black box) is commonly used in aircraft and are often used to determine the chronology of the state of the aircraft at the last moments before the plane crashed.
However, at present, the device is not only used in aircraft, but also in other vehicles such as cars.
Is HK e-Car, the company that makes a black box for vehicles, successfully completing his vehicle with a video camera system, called MOA-vbox. The function of the system resembles a black box on airplanes.
However, at present, the device is not only used in aircraft, but also in other vehicles such as cars.
Is HK e-Car, the company that makes a black box for vehicles, successfully completing his vehicle with a video camera system, called MOA-vbox. The function of the system resembles a black box on airplanes.
MOA-vbox not only record the speed and movement of vehicles, but also record it into a video file so that the analysis result of an accident can be known and more detailed.
However, the camera did not record the entire trip when the driver in the vehicle but only for 20 seconds at the time of the accident, which is 14 seconds before the accident and 6 seconds after the accident.
In addition to HK e-Car, world-class manufacturer of computer processors Intel is also preparing a new security device that resembles a black box.
Just as black boxes in aircraft, these devices are also integrated with a computerized car systems. Thus, the various actions and events that exist in the vehicle can be recorded.
In addition, these devices also can identify traffic signs. For events outside the vehicle, the tool will rely on the function of cameras and sensors on the car.
"The vehicles are very new output allow cameras inside or outside the car. Actually it is not something new, but if you integrate a camera and GPS (global positioning system) results are remarkable, "said Justin Rattner, Director of Laboratory and Intel's Chief Technology Office.
Intel invented technology that can record 30-second event in the form of video. With these recordings, the cause of the accident can be known whether technical factors or negligence of the driver.
Rattner said in the next few years the price of equipment is only half the price of a new GPS device or security system.
Devices that are being developed by researchers in conjunction with the Intel was able to record information on vehicle speed. The information also contains notes the steering and brakes along with cuplikancuplikan video from inside and outside the vehicle.
The information will automatically be sent to the police and insurance company in case of accident.
It would be very easy to determine the cause of the crash police car and identified the person responsible will be incident.
"We are exploring the possibility of developing a variety of enhancements that will improve the driving experience, safety, and security vehicles," said Rattner.
By applying this system on the car, it makes sense when the car can "see" the sign says "wrong way" or "do not enter". As a result, motorists can avoid accidents due to not able to recognize the signs or traffic sign.
