Summary

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.

Volume II covers active safety system technologies:

The study investigated 33 technologies which are pure active safety systems grouped under the main categories of Traction Systems, Suspension Systems, Dynamic Drive Systems, Lighting Systems, Speed Influencing Systems, and those which have some evolving active safety element such as Tracker Systems and even Alcohol Interlock Systems and Automatic Transmissions. Issues covered include a history of the technology. Some safety systems have evolved from passive to active functionality. If both passive and active systems are available and there are varying functionalities of different generations of the devices, these are described. The benefits to society of the active safety system are detailed in terms of R&D or Field Operational Trials made by independent research organisations, insurers, or the car makers themselves. Statistical data collected on fatal accidents and the lives saved using the devices, is presented where available. The latest regulations and legislation of the EC are described, including any supporting activities by the EC. Each section ends with an analysis of the suppliers of safety systems and car makers using them, as well as average price levels of the safety systems.

A description of enabling technologies including the role of sensors and the AUTOSAR common system architecture initiative is provided.

Volume II culminates in profiles of all the key suppliers of active safety related products to the industry globally
