Basic technology for preventing collisions by predicting changes in pedestrian movement

• Hitachi automotive systems announced that they have developed the basic technology for preventing collisions while maintaining safe and practical speeds.
• The new system predicts changes in pedestrian movement rapidly calculating optimum speed patterns in real time.
• They have tested the new system with experimental cars to determine if it can be implemented at safe and practical speeds.
• The Hitachi Group will accelerate to further develop the technology through repeated trials and contribute to the commercialization of autonomous driving technology.
• In order to search for solutions to social challenges, such as reduction of traffic accidents, resolution/alleviation of traffic congestion, etc.
