The "Yamaha ASV-2" is a motorcycle
developed to realize the functions to be compatible with the "Intelligent
Transport Systems" (ITS) to be implemented sometime in the
early part of the new century with the aim of "constructing
systems that integrate people, roads and vehicles.
Yamaha has put to use the latest in electronics and other technologies
to build on existing safety technologies in the research and development
of this vehicle.
Model 1 of the Yamaha ASV-2 mounts five new systems that fall under
the three categories of preventative safety, accident avoidance and
damage mitigation.
Model 2 mounts a road-vehicle collaborative system that can handle
six types of rider support systems based on information supplied
by the road infrastructure.
The Yamaha ASV-3 is based on the technologies developed for its predecessor,
the Yamaha ASV-2, an Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)-compatible,
research-use vehicle with an airbag system, announced in 2000.
However, the Yamaha ASV-3 features a new, more advanced airbag system
for improved crash safety, being developed using a variety of analysis
software programs.
