How to Safely Drive a Car in the Offroad Track

How to Safely Drive a Car in the Offroad Track - If you like nature, travel or "traveling" will become mandatory in the menu when a holiday or weekend. Especially for those who like the expedition to the new place. Bad roads or off-road had to be conquered. For those who already have high-flying hours, of course, could pass it without hesitation.

But what about those who have never explored dirt tracks? Possibility would be haunted by the fear or anxiety. Here are some tips and tricks as a guide when you want your car to try greatness pride in the field of non-asphalt.
  1. Understand the correct target area and adjust the car's ability to be used. You certainly will not be forced to bring the sedan when the track is filled with a mound of dirt or a little steep. If forced, instead of interesting experiences gained, even distress. Your car could have been "trapped" or damaged due to hit obstacles.
  2. Make sure the car you use 'combat ready'. Know the height of the pit closest to the ground (ground clearance), the angle of incidence and angle off the car. With this in mind could be passing car pools, slopes or derivatives as well.
  3. "Do not ever make a new line looks better though. Stay in the track who often skipped because of course the track is safe," explained national champion rally Indonesia, Rifat Sungkar. Also keep traction so that vehicle stability can be controlled.
  4. Subhan Aksa, a national rally driver added, "Do not be fooled by the bend in front of you. It could be that what is seen in front of the eye, will be different to those on the edge. Better to set the speed when entering the corner and make sure at the end of the bend is safe to proceed vehicle speed. "
  5. This becomes very important because many drivers are tempted to jamming of gas at the sight of a big bend on the corner when there is a fairly challenging Handycap as narrowing or mound of earth which removes power to the ground tire tracks.
  6. Adjust speed with the track conditions and vehicle stability. Do not force too fast when large shocks occur. In addition to make it uncomfortable, stability is less because the cars tend to be wild.

Autonomous Car (Cars Without Drivers)

Autonomous Car (Cars Without Drivers) - It's not mystical or magic story! But the results of technological advances developed by humans. VW Passat is not only driving himself, can talk and see.

(Apparently, the car that became the main character in the television series Knight Rider movie in the mid-1980s, which was named "Kitt" or Knight Industries Two Thousand. The latest version of Knight Rider made in 2008 continue to be the Knight Industries Three Thousand).

MadeInGermany
Release issued by the Freie Universität Berlin, which makes this scientific project, which is used VW Passat drove 80 km without driver around the city center of Berlin. Hence, this project is called "Car Automomous Navigates the Street of Berlin". The goal, to raise the prestige "MadeInGermany".

Explained, a self-driving car (autonomous car) is, piloted by computer. The car used was a modified VW Passat standards to "drive by wire". If there are people behind the wheel, just as a safety. His job, to monitor the movements of a car or take over driving duties when the system is problematic.

Computer directly govern or regulate the movement of the accelerator, brake and steering wheel. Various sensors incorporated in a car chassis that gives the information of all cars and people who are on the road. In this way allows the car to avoid obstacles or adjusting the speed or lanes if necessary. Trial conducted in the area of ​​20 km in front of and behind the building the International Congress Centre and the Brandenburg Gate, the four rounds without a crash.

Laser Scanner

Computer work based on the diporoleh inforasi of electronic devices are included, a very accurate GPS navigation, plus a camera in front of the scanner (scanner) on the roof, side and front-rear bumper.

"This car can know its position, conditions on surrounding areas, including pedestrians, buildings and trees within a radius of 70 meters. It could even detect the traffic lights and responding well. Speed ​​of reaction of this technology exceeds the average response of humans," explains prof. Researchers Group Leader Raul Rojas special project called Autonomos Labs. Research that has been running 4 years and spent about 400,000 Euros, or about 5 billion more.

"This is a new research trend, computer control or drive a car. The same study also was conducted in several countries. While the same concept but has been applied by the manufacturer but with a smaller-scale parking assist or emergency brake (emergency brake)," commented Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, Professor of Automotive Economics University of Duisburg-Essen, quoted by the Associated Press about this project.

In Berlin, scientists get permission from local governments to use public roads to perform self-test. Other road users even helped.

Reduce Accidents

Initially, according to Rojas, the problem that arises is how a robot driving a rather stiff and awkward. However, after further development, is now his driving style is more flexible as a human being.

Had also raised concerns as proposed Dudenhoeffer, "Who is responsible if an accident? Is the owner of the car, the passenger who was controlling the control computer or the company producing the technology?"

But someday, he added, the ability to drive a car computer can be more secure than with humans. Because the program is made in accordance with the rules and vehicle capabilities. Today, the accident occurred due to negligence generally makes a man.

Meanwhile, Prof. Raul Rojas added, self-driving vehicles now can be used on private roads and the technology is considered mature enough. But for the public streets still need 10 to 15 years.

He added, this auto car navigation for public roads still require additional technology development. The goal is that the car is completely safe. In addition it should be made standard, self-driving cars should be more stringent than men.

"Once finished, this car will be safer than the cars driven by humans. It is just matter of time, "he said! Hence, AutoNOMOS labs soon hold the same trial but lasted a full auto and be realized between cities in Europe.
