Seat Vibration Technology: Makes driver alert when cars get too close
New sensation has arrived in car technology. Yale School of Engineering has develop a seat vibration technology to alert car drivers from forthcoming accidents by using vibrating motors & movable cameras. Researchers have opted physical stimulus by installing little vibrating motors inside driver’s seat to advise approach of other vehicles. In demonstration model, researchers interface steering wheel and pedals to computer driving simulator called “The Open Racing Car Simulator”[TORCS]. The driver seat has twenty cellphone motor tactors, that vibrate against the skin, and are arranged in rectangular array across seat back.
You are driving on a road getting back to home or going on a journey, with cheerful mood, suddenly, you feel some vibration against the body. Wait, that’s a signal of car or any vehicle approaching near or too close of your car or from any side left or right, watch out and you do not get in accident. Sounds great and interesting!
Yale School of Engineering’s Associate Professor John Morrell says that there are more than enough visual stimuli in modern car. There’s need of something that can prevent accidents from and make driver alert for the reaction. Therefore, Yale engineers have developed physical prompt system in which vibrating motor and movable cams send signals or message to driver back through lining of seat.
As other car makers have started including various warning systems in their vehicles from flashing mirrors to voices telling system. This seat vibration technology would physically alert drivers to impending danger and accident. John Morrell thinks that this new invention will stand out in the crowd. So, get ready to test the drive with this new innovative feature.
