Abstract
This SupplierBusiness / Knibb Gormezano Partners report, covers Active Safety
Systems in Light Duty Vehicles including passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs
and MPVs.
Road safety failures are a major stain on the record of an advanced society.
No better example of Society' s failure on the safety front is its past
inability to control and reduce death and injury on the roads.
This has been recognised by the European Commission and has resulted in a
number of major initiatives to improve safety with the short-term target of
halving the 40,000 annual death toll. Member states have also embarked on
their own plans in support of this objective.
Improvements fall into a number of categories:
- 1. Driver education and training
- 2. Stimulating improved crashworthiness of vehicles via programmes such as
EuroNCAP;
- 3. Supporting and promoting improved crash avoidance technology in
vehicles such as ESC;
- 4. Initiatives for better road design (e.g. EuroRAP);
- 5. Infrastructure improvements;
- 6. Vehicle to Infrastructure communications (e.g. e- Call);
- 7. Greater law enforcement effort targeted at driver behaviour;
- 8. More rigorous and extended forms of vehicle condition testing.
The current two-volume report focuses on point 3 and incorporates various
aspects under Point 6. Its puurpose is to provide a comprehensive overview and
some detailed analysis of the subject in terms of markets, technologies,
adoption rate forecasts and government policies. It is complemented by a
survey of stakeholder attitudes conducted by SupplierBusiness and available
separately.
This report into Active Safety Systems for light duty vehicles has been
undertaken in response to a growing interest among vehicle manufacturers,
systems and component suppliers, engineering design and testing services
companies, transport operators and regulatory bodies to find ways to reduce
road accidents involving passenger cars and make a significant contribution to
the European Commission' s target of halving road deaths by 2010 and to achieve
similar goals in the USA.
Vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers are investing heavily in Active
Safety Systems despite prevailing economic conditions and KGP believes that
the time is right to examine, to what extent Active Safety Systems on
passenger cars might evolve over the coming years and, more importantly, to
what extent they might contribute to reductions in accident rates.
The research for this report was undertaken during the autumn of 2008 and
early 2009. This included study of the available and emerging Active Safety
Systems, interviews with manufacturers, suppliers, NGOs and legislators.
The aims were to provide:
- A route map for the introduction of active safety systems in passenger
cars and adoption rate scenarios;
- Observations on the impact of systems on accident avoidance;
- Suggested actions for the industry and regulatory bodies.
- Profiles of the key companies involved in the design and manufacture of
active safety systems worldwide.
