Intelligent Transportation Systems
It was more than 70 years from the time when the Japanese company Teikoku Dempa released the first Japanese car radio. Then, the development proceeded by leaps and bounds, and in 1958 Teikoku Dempa landed" on the other side of the Atlantic and became the first the company has prepared the Japanese invasion of the car audio market in the U.S.. Of course, for car-audio in the contemporary understanding of it then did not go. The main task was to win confidence of producers of Japanese automakers building the ambitious plans to capture the world market. And from the late 50's Teikoku Dempa gets to your receiver specs Nissan Motor. Walking in step with the times, in 1963 the company created the first Japanese car stereo system, and in 1968 released first cassette head unit.
Since then, the company began a period of international fame and to meet the stated objectives the company changed its name to Clarion. That's what says about development plans company, Tatsuhiko Izumi, president Clarion: The main focus of the company is the creation of automobile sound systems, however, it is possible to distinguish two different trends. One of them is to increase of entertainment technology. Increase speed wireless streaming media requires that the road funds could accept such media. Such media data can be considered as a factor characterizing the diversity and the growing role of entertainment in the lives of everyone.
Clarion Company has a policy of flexible response to rapid changes in multimedia applications, providing technologies and solutions for mobile access to entertainment from home, office or car. Another trend involves the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems. Clarion Company develops technologies in the field cameras, which represent one of its leading projects. In addition to providing visual information about what is happening behind the car and around it, similar technology will be the basis of a new generation of systems traffic safety with the integration of navigation and propulsion systems for vehicle motion control, turning and stopping. Work in both of the above areas will provide a new interpretation of the slogan Clarion brand 'Clarion HMI' (Human Mobile Music Media Interface) – a product that satisfies customers' wildest dreams. " Finding new opportunities for cooperation at the level of man – machine with hardware and software technology – the most important area of Clarion. On the basis of a rich know-how to improve the quality of the equipment in a specific environment Clarion car company is working to increase the ease of use of all products, especially from the standpoint of ergonomics. At the heart of these activities is the concept of human interface – a machine designed to make the transition of human interaction – a device to a new level. We strive to improve the interface, not only from the standpoint of hardware base (eg, number size and location of buttons), but also from the perspective of the software, which includes software design, operating logic, menu structure and the presence of instructions on the LCD screen. But not only it takes engineers. Clarion deeply involved in the process of creating a new way of transport of the future. In this new era is expected of cars in association with an information network order to exchange data on traffic and road accidents. Clarion Company plays an active role in this new era of automotive Telematics through the commercialization of computer systems and development platforms the new generation, which will significantly improve the efficiency of public transport.
