ADAS ECUs are core products of ADAS, and feature various integrated
ADAS features such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), collision
mitigation braking, and lane departure warning systems, all within
a single controller.
Hitachi Automotive Systems' ADAS ECU was developed based on the
drive control technology accumulated through the development of the
Engine Control Unit(1) first installed in Nissan's 2009 Fuga, and
thereafter equipped in several mass-produced vehicles. It has been
used in Nissan's Note since 2013.
The upgraded Nissan Notes features several advanced safety
technologies as either optional or standard features. These include
Intelligent Cruise Control designed to mitigate the load on drivers
when driving long distances on expressways, a Lane Departure
Warning System (Intelligent LI) that assists drivers in returning
the vehicle to its travelling lane in case of an unintentional lane
departure, and a Collision Mitigation avoidance assistance for
drivers who accidentally press the accelerator pedal instead of the
brake pedal. Hitachi Automotive Systems supports all these
functions with its ADAS ECU.
With the enhancement of these advanced safety technologies, Nissan
Motor's upgraded Note now places in the Safety Support Car S Wide
Division, the top class of a safety classification system promoted
by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of
Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
Moving forward, Hitachi Automotive Systems will continue to support
the practical application and increased adoption of ADAS-equipped
vehicles produced by automotive manufacturers.
(1) Engine Control Unit: A controller that, when controlling the
engine using supporting electrical devices, comprehensively
controls those parts and devices.
