Name the gas pedal is smart accelerator or accelerator pedal force feedback (AFFP). Gas pedal model AFFP have special abilities. He can give a warning to the drivers automatically. Especially if the cars that we drive already too close to the vehicle in front. Pedal will give a warning not to enter again in more gas.How are quite unique. Gas pedal will vibrate. Response to another, more serious pedal is pressed. Technology developed a division of Continental Corporation. According to Continental, a tool that can minimize the accident. Particularly hit another vehicle from behind.
The idea that emerged from the traffic in germany. Manufacturer in the country of origin Mercedez-Benz, and many accidents occur with the crash from behind. Gas pedal can be made because it is no longer able to work mechanically. Regulator speed that only use a cable to a small stream electricity to the gas valve in the engine.
Furthermore, the gas valve is driven stepper motor is working to open and close the flow of air into the engine. Technology is called the drive by wire. In addition to the electric motor pedal, the other important component in the system is the proximity sensor.
Proximity sensor is mounted on the right and left in front of the car. Components are working to accurately measure the distance to the vehicle in front of it. If the distance between the car and not in front of a safe, sensors send data to the computer. Furthermore, the gas pedal will vibrate!
Vibration is warning us that the distance with the car in front in a dangerous situation. Other features that are added to the movement of a gas pedal. That's because the motor holding gas pedal movement. Continental mention technology as the active.
With a warning that gas pedal, drivers prepared tread brake pedal. Technology is the development of system security Continental ContiGuard. Technology is also helping drivers race on the average speed. The result can reduce fuel oil consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Gas pedal technology was promising enough. However, questions remain behind only the experts that develop. Namely, how to make tools that work effectively? For example, drivers are calling or talking with passengers. In the conditions, drivers can not only concerned with the warning.
Continental also uses the same sensor to help move a car with a safe path. AFFP will vibrate if the adaptive cruise control (ACC) to know that the vehicle is too close to the car in front of it. On a dangerous situation, the system immediately in order to make the movement of the gas pedal.
