Contributing to a Safe and Secure Mobility Society
Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Company Limited (AD) is one of the leading general insurance companies in Japan and a member of MS&AD Insurance Group. The company was formed in October 2010 through the merger of Aioi Insurance and Nissay Dowa Insurance, but each with a history of over 100 years.
AD aims to be "the company with distinctive character" through the challenges toward the future in contributing to safe and secure mobility society with market leading insurance services in mobility field. AD continues to provide new value by developing unique insurance products and services utilizing advanced technologies.
AD has long and wide range of R&D experiences using new technologies. In 2004, AD launched the very first automobile insurance in Japanese market which is using telematics technology named PAYD, "Pay-As-You-Drive". The premium is calculated based on the actual mileage data collected through Toyota’s first generation on-board telematics device embedded in the vehicle. In March 2015, AD acquired Box Innovation Group Limited (BIG), the major telematics insurance provider, entering into the telematics automobile insurance market in the UK. Also in 2016, AD stepped into US market by establishing Toyota Insurance Management Solutions USA, LLC (TIMS), a joint venture with the Toyota Group. TIMS aims to utilize not only the mileage data but the driving behavior data to provide PHYD, “PAY-HOW-YOU-DRIVE” insurance. In October 2017, AD established AIS Asia (Aioi Nissay Dowa Services Asia Pte. Ltd.) in Singapore focusing on arising ride sharing/hailing business in South East Asia, collaborating with the major ride sharing company.
All above global activities shows AD’s aim to adopt the new technologies in insurance to provide the customers and clients with the better services and to contribute to safe and secure mobility society.
With an eye to the future mobility society such as CASE and MaaS, AD keeps promoting multi-faceted development globally in order to create new business models based on such advanced technology. AD will also take on challenge to new risks for the future autonomous driving society through the collaboration with our partners and industry-academia alliances.

Detail
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is an intelligent form of cruise control that allows vehicles to speed up and slow down automatically in order to keep pace with the traffic ahead. In cars, either a laser or radar system is mounted within the front of the car that constantly scans the road ahead of you for other vehicles. In recent years heavy truck drivers are likely to drive more autonomous vehicles. ACC is helping the driver to drive more safely and comfortable.
This paper presents effect of the adaptive cruise control (ACC) usage on brake pad wear of heavy commercial vehicle by comparing pressure and temperature differences seen on three different vehicle configurations. These configurations are “adaptive cruise control with engine brake & retarder & service brake”, “adaptive cruise control with engine brake (without retarder) & service brake” and “engine brake (without ACC and without retarder) & service brake” at tractor vehicle. For all configurations same vehicle and trailer is used with configuring the software and hardware on the vehicle. The aim of this study is to compare the brake pad wear change by brake temperature and pressure differences with predefines test scenarios. Specific test procedure has been developed to get objective measurement and subjective feeling assessment on the vehicle. The test scenarios has been determined to profile the different adaptive cruise control usage scenarios as vehicle tracking and long haul drive.
The brake pad temperature, pressure and vehicle CAN data has been logged through of the test. Also driver perception has been rated for different adaptive cruise control, auxiliary brake system and service brake usage. The brake temperature and pressure data has been used to calculate the comparative brake pad wear change. It was seen that the adaptive cruise control usage with engine brake has positive affect on brake pad life as 2 % incremental to without ACC usage. Retarder usage has the longest pad life with ACC as expected with 23% improvement to without ACC usage. Thus adaptive cruise control usage effect to the pad life with same comparative test scenarios showed that adaptive cruise control has positive affect to the brake pad life.
