To achieve a safe mobility society, Toyota believes it will be important to implement an inte- grated three-part initiative involving people, vehi- cles, and the traffic environment, as well as to pursue real-world safety by learning from actual accidents and incorporating that knowledge into vehicle development. Toyota has defined its Integrated Safety Management Concept as the basic philosophy behind its technologies for eliminating traffic casu- alties and is moving forward with development. Integrated Safety Management Concept Toyota provides optimized driver support for rea- sonable safety at every stage of driving, from park- ing to normal operation, the moment before a collision, during a collision, and post-collision emer- gency response. We also aim to enhance safety by reinforcing links between vehicle safety systems, rather than thinking about each system as a sepa- Vehicles Development of tech- nologies for accident avoidance and driver/ passenger protection in collisions Development and assessment Evaluation of actual vehicles to work toward safe vehicles and incorporate pre- ventive technologies into vehicles People Raising awareness of traffic safety through lectures, etc. Integrated Three Part Initiative Pursuing Real-world Safety AN Traffic environment Information on traffic. jams, and maintenance and management of traffic lights and roads Accident investigation and analysis Investigation and analysis of actual accidents Simulations Accident simulation to Develop preventive measures rate component. These are the approaches behind our Integrated Safety Management Concept. Active Safety The Toyota Safety Sense system packages multiple active safety functions that help reduce serious traf- fic accidents causing death or injury. The major functions Pre-Collision Safety (PCS), which assists in avoiding and mitigating damage from collisions with cars ahead or pedestrians; Lane Departure Alert (LDA), which contributes to preventing acci- dents caused by leaving the lane of travel; and Automatic High Beam (AHB), which helps ensure optimal forward visibility during nighttime driving. Since its market launch in 2015, Toyota Safety Sense has been installed in more than 32.5 million vehicles globally (as of July 2022). Toyota Safety Sense is now available on nearly all passenger car models (as standard or option) in the Japanese, U.S., and European markets. It has also been introduced in a total of 120 countries and regions, including such key markets as China, other select Asian countries, the Middle East, and Australia. Passive Safety Passive safety combines vehicle bodies that absorbs the energy of collisions with devices that provide support to protect drivers, passengers, and pedes- trians and thereby minimize collision damage. In 1995, in the pursuit of world-leading safety, Toyota created its own stringent internal target related to passive safety performance called "Global Outstanding Assessment (GOA)" and developed a collision-safety body structure and passenger protection devices. Since then, Toyota has continued to evolve GOA, striving to improve the real-world safety performance of its vehicles in a wide variety of accidents. To analyze vehicle-related injuries, Toyota collaborated with Toyota Central R&D Labs., Inc. to develop the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS), a virtual human body model. THUMS is being used in the research and development of a variety of safety technologies, including seat belts, airbags, and other safety devices, as well as vehi- cle structures that mitigate injuries in accidents involving pedestrians. Toyota made the THUMS software available on its website free of charge in January 2021 in the hope that as many users as possible will benefit from it. Emergency Response Every minute counts in the response to an accident or medical emergency. In the event of an accident or medical emergency, Toyota's HELPNETⓇ emergency reporting system service contacts a dedicated oper- ator that then contacts police, fire, or ambulance services to ensure the rapid dispatch of emergency vehicles. HELPNET® automatically contacts an oper- ator when the airbags deploy and supports D-Call Net®, a service that makes quick deployment deci- sions for air ambulances. This service is provided by sending vehicle data to the HELPNET center from an on-board data communication module (DCM). Automated Driving Technologies Toyota has been engaged in the research and development of automated driving technologies since the 1990s. The Mobility Teammate Concept is an automated driving concept unique to Toyota that seeks to enhance communication between drivers and their cars, enabling them to assist one another in coordinated driving as companions. Rather than cars taking over driving from people and replacing them, drivers and cars act as part- ners to protect one another so that drivers can enjoy the experience of driving while deferring to automated driving at times, achieving truly safe, secure and unrestricted mobility. The Lexus LS and Mirai models launched in April 2021 are equipped with Toyota/Lexus Teammate state-of-the-art driving assist technology, with some grades including Advanced Drive, a system that assists driving on an expressways or other motor-vehicle-only roadways. The Advanced Drive on-board system will appropriately detects the vehi- cle's surroundings, make decisions, and assist driv- ing under the driver's supervision according to actual traffic conditions. It can keep the vehicle in its lane, maintain the distance from other vehicles, nav- igate a lane split, change lanes, and overtake other vehicles until leaving the roadway for the destina- tion. The system achieves high levels of safety and peace of mind, reducing driver fatigue and providing a pleasant journey to the driver's destination. Deep learning-focused Al technologies support driving by predicting and responding to a wide vari- ety of situations that could occur when driving. In addition, Advanced Drive uses software updates. The system continues to add features and improve performance to enhance the driving experience and provide the latest safety technologies even after the vehicle has been delivered to the customer. Cars have many uses, and needs continue to diversify. Accordingly, Toyota is advancing R&D into automated driving technologies not only for personally owned vehicles (POVS), but also in the field of mobility as a service (MaaS). Toyota is one of the first companies to launch advanced auto- mated driving technology for vehicles sold to cor- porate customers. Data collected from these vehicles will then be collected, analyzed, and fed back into development to further evolve automat- ed driving technologies for POVS. Raising Traffic Safety Awareness Toyota carries out awareness-raising initiatives for drivers and pedestrians to help prevent traffic accidents. One such initiative for drivers is the Toyota Driver Communication safe driving technique seminar held periodically at Toyota Safety Education Center Mobilitas, on the grounds of Fuji Speedway. For pedestrians, in cooperation with Toyota dealers across Japan, Toyota has been donating traffic safety teaching materials to kindergartens and nursery schools nationwide since 1969.
