ABSTRACT
To realize a dream of “zero-nize” the fatalities and injuries in traffic accidents, or even accidents themselves, related to commercial vehicles, future concepts for both large truck and small delivery truck, with a name ASV concept L (long haul truck), and ASV concept C (city use) were studied. In ASV concept L, Energy Absorbing Front Structure was proposed to reduce a damage of car occupants in case of head-on collision. In case driver takes no avoiding maneuver in rear-end collision, Pre-crash Safety System automatically applies brake to reduce the impact speed. In ASV concept C, Body Structure for Pedestrian Safety was proposed. Blind-spot Monitoring System to assist the driver, Ultra-thin Pillar for better frontal view and Pedestrian Detection and Warning System were proposed.
