toyota anti collision system

Toyota’s anti-collision system, known as Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), includes a suite of advanced safety features designed to prevent or mitigate collisions. Here’s an overview of the key components of Toyota’s anti-collision system:

Toyota Safety Sense (TSS)
1. Pre-Collision System (PCS)
Function: Detects vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists ahead using a camera and radar.
Features:
Forward Collision Warning: Alerts the driver of a potential collision with visual and audible warnings.
Automatic Emergency Braking: Applies the brakes automatically if the system determines a collision is imminent and the driver does not respond in time.
2. Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
Function: Monitors lane markings on the road using a camera.
Features:
Lane Departure Warning: Alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to deviate from its lane without signaling.
Steering Assist: Provides gentle corrective steering inputs to help keep the vehicle in its lane if the driver does not take action.
3. Automatic High Beams (AHB)
Function: Uses a camera to detect oncoming vehicles and vehicles ahead.
Features:
High Beam Control: Automatically switches between high and low beams to provide optimal visibility without dazzling other drivers.
4. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
Function: Uses radar and camera technology to maintain a preset distance from the vehicle ahead.
Features:
Adaptive Speed Control: Adjusts the vehicle’s speed to match the traffic flow, maintaining a safe distance from the car in front.
Stop & Go Function: In some models, the system can bring the vehicle to a complete stop and resume following traffic.
5. Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
Function: Works with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control to keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
Features:
Lane Keeping: Uses lane markings and preceding vehicles to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
6. Road Sign Assist (RSA)
Function: Uses a camera to detect road signs.
Features:
Sign Recognition: Displays detected road signs on the instrument panel, including speed limits, stop signs, and yield signs.
Additional Features in Advanced Toyota Safety Sense Packages
1. Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
Function: Detects vehicles in the adjacent lanes.
Features:
Alert: Provides visual warnings on the side mirrors if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot.
2. Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Function: Detects approaching vehicles from the sides when backing out of a parking space.
Features:
Alert: Provides audible and visual warnings if cross traffic is detected.
3. Parking Support Brake (PKSB)
Function: Helps prevent collisions while parking.
Features:
Automatic Braking: Applies brakes if the system detects an imminent collision with a stationary object or an approaching vehicle while reversing.
Summary
Toyota Safety Sense is designed to enhance driver awareness, aid in decision-making, and mitigate or prevent collisions. The system combines several technologies to create a comprehensive safety net for drivers, contributing to safer driving experiences.
