| Nissan helps develop new child safety alert system |
|
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., NTT DATA Corporation, Tokyu Security Co., Ltd., and TRENDY Corporation have jointly developed in Japan an expanded IC tag i-safety service which alerts drivers to the presence of children in the vicinity with a voice recording from an electronic information device in the car that warns: "Children nearby. Please be careful.".
Signals from the child’s IC tag and the driver’s IC tag are picked up by lookout spots on the street, such as electricity poles and schoolyard gates, which are affixed with receivers to pick up such signals. The information is then transmitted back to the car’s information device, triggering the voice-recording. The system is at present still at an experimental stage.
