<h1>Mazda to be presented with the Euro NCAP Advanced Award</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Robertstephens.aspx'>Robertstephens</a></strong><br /><p>Mazda’s Rear Vehicle Monitoring system (RVM) was first debuted in the Mazda6 in Europe back in 2008. Following the successful launch it was then rolled out to the Mazda3 and the Mazda CX-7, it will also be rolled out on the new up and coming CX-5. The CX-5 will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month, along with the all new Mazda3. At the Frankfurt Motor Show Euro NCAP will be presenting Mazda with the Euro NCAP Advanced Award in recognition of the Rear Vehicle Monitoring system. The assessors at Euro NCAP were highly impressed by the safety benefits of the system. In principle the system helps drivers avoid dangerous situations and collisions with other vehicles when changing lanes. How does it work? The system uses two radar sensors, mounted on either side of the rear bumper which constantly measure the distance to, and relative speed of, surrounding vehicles. When travelling at speeds of more than 60km/h, the system will warn the driver with a proximity indicator light situated in the door mirror on the side where either a vehicle is currently in the blind spot or will be approaching the area in the next 5 seconds. If the driver uses the indicator in the direction of an approaching vehicle, the proximity will then blink rapidly and a audio signal will sound to warn the driver. The system will work in almost all weather and can detect all types of vehicles, critically motorcycles. Mazda introduced the system after it carried out research that showed 5% of all accidents are between vehicles driving in the same direction, and nearly 80% of these occur during lane changes. Car garages in York have trialled the system and like Euro NCAP assessor they were highly impressed.
