Mitsubishi Electric Introduces EMIRAI 3 xDAS Assisted-driving Concept Car
Mitsubishi
Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today its EMIRAI 3 xDAS,
concept car featuring next-generation driving-assistance technology that
promises to enhance the safety and comfort of driving. EMIRAI 3 xDAS
will be exhibited during the 44th Tokyo Motor Show 2015 at the Tokyo Big
Sight exhibition complex in Tokyo, Japan from October 29 to
November 8.
Building on the EMIRAI 2 xDAS, which was introduced at the 2013 Tokyo
Motor Show, Mitsubishi (News - Alert) Electric has developed the EMIRAI 3 xDAS, with
evolved technologies for human machine interface (HMI), driver sensing,
telematics, and light control, under the theme of "Feelings come true."
HMI
|
(1)
|
|
Multi-bonding display
|
|
|
-
|
|
LCDs panels on the dashboard and center console are laminated with
and optical bonding process for high visibility and operability, as
well as aesthetic harmony with vehicle interiors.
|
|
|
-
|
|
Larger images are achieved without larger LCDs by narrowing the
widths between separate displays.
|
|
|
-
|
|
High-visibility panels reduce reflections thanks to optical-bonding
and optical-design technologies.
|
|
|
-
|
|
Display items can be changed according to user preferences. Cloud
content synchronization and selectable contents layouts enable
drivers to create highly personalized interiors.
|
|
(2)
|
|
Minimized eye movement
|
|
|
-
|
|
In-vehicle equipment can be operated without having to look at the
display. The operator's hand profile and motions are detected for
simplified adjustment of air temperature and music volume.
|
|
|
-
|
|
Wearable device vibrates to notify specific passengers of
information, etc. as required.
|
|
|
-
|
|
Overwrite input function, which was co-developed with Tokyo
University of Agriculture and Technology, allows the driver to write
on top of characters without confirming each time.
|
|

|
|
Combiner 3D Head-up display (HUD)
|
|
|
-
|
|
The HUD, which appears in the combiner provides three-dimensional
images of objects up to more than 10 meters ahead of the driver so
that the driver can keep their eyes on the road ahead.
|
|
|
-
|
|
3D imaging with binocular disparity on Head-up Display.
|
|
|
-
|
|
Adjusts the display's position in the combiner according to specific
situations, such as when turning driving on an expressway, etc., for
safer, easier driving.
|
|
Driver sensing
|
-
|
|
The driver's operating condition is sensed with a camera and a
cardiograph that is based on a non-contact cardiograph co-developed
with the National University Corporation Kyushu Institute of
Technology. The driver's face direction and line of sight are sensed
via a camera.
|
-
|
|
Safe-driving support and predictive assistance based on driver
behavior.
|
-
|
|
Proactive analysis of map data, for example, to identify
intersections with poor visibility, and then display side-camera
views looking up and down the cross street. Further, the system
learns to react automatically whenever the same location/situation
is reencountered.
|
|
Telematics
|
-
|
|
A cloud-based application analyzes the driver's physical condition
by comparing current behavior with past behavioral data stored in
the cloud. If fatigue is detected, suitable rest stops are
recommended.
|
-
|
|
Collects and shares information on dangerous locations. Also
provides remote control of home appliances.
