Denso to test vehicle collision prevention system

TOKYO — Denso Corp said Tuesday it will test an anticollision, vehicle-to-vehicle communications system on public roads in Abashiri in Hokkaido from April. The accident prevention system allows in-vehicle communications devices to send out warning signals if automobiles come close, said the auto parts maker affiliated with Toyota Motor Corp.

Denso expects the system to help drivers prevent crashes at blind intersections or in low visibility conditions caused by wind-blown dust or other factors. The company also intends to allow the system to warn drivers of approaching emergency vehicles.
