Abstract
This Intelligence Set includes the latest edition of the road vehicle safety
systems report, plus manufacturer profiles for Autoliv, Delphi, Takata and TRW.
Each profile is approximately 25 to 27 pages, and includes a brief outline of
business activity, financial statistics, customers and more. They will allow
you to discover where the market is heading, what the latest innovations are,
and how your competitors are performing.
The tally of casualties on the world' s roads continues to be alarming, despite
considerable and continuing advances made in areas such as ' active safety'
(prevention) and ' passive safety' (cure).
A joint report from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank on
road traffic injury prevention suggests that, of all the systems with which
people have to deal every day, road traffic systems are the most complex and
the most dangerous. It estimates that, every year, 1.2m people are killed in
road accidents worldwide and as many as 50m are injured.
It also predicts that without new commitment to prevention, these numbers will
increase by 65% over two decades. Of course, only a proportion are directly
preventable or may be mitigated by occupant safety measures in cars, buses and
trucks since overall road injury and fatalities also include pedestrians,
cyclists and motor cyclists, but the report is symptomatic of the gathering
momentum to push the topic to the top of the world agenda. This is bound to
have implications for the regulatory environment and those involved in the
development and production of occupant safety measures.
At 198 pages, our own extensive just-auto report explores the various vehicle
safety systems on the market, particularly occupant restraints, such as
seatbelts, as well as side impact sensors, air bags, pedestrian protection,
driver assistance and telematics. The report also looks at technological
developments, profiles the major companies in the sector and provides
comprehensive market data tables and figures.
