Research and Markets: Euro NCAP Combined With Government Legislation Drives Demand for Pedestrian Safety Systems.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c67289) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report: European Markets for Power Semiconductors in Passenger Cars to their offering. Increasing Pedestrian Fatalities Hiking Demand for Pedestrian Safety Systems Pedestrian safety is a crucial issue to governments and vehicle manufacturers since the toll of pedestrian deaths mount every year. As vehicles grow in size and numbers, pedestrians are increasingly at risk, not only from rash driving but also from outside factors such as road infrastructure and traffic distribution. In Europe, during 2002, 4,458 pedestrians were killed in road accidents, which amount to 15 per cent of the total road fatalities. The safety of pedestrians can be ensured by improving vehicle designs and by installing pedestrian safety systems. Growing concerns for the safety of pedestrians is likely to create demand for these systems. This Frost & Sullivan research service provides an in-depth look into the European market for pedestrian safety systems. Divided into active and passive safety systems, this study delves Delves is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated a short distance to the south of Consett. into the technologies in each market segment. It also provides qualitative and quantitative forecast for non-deployment solutions, deployment solutions, driver warning and information systems and automatic systems. In addition, it includes penetration forecasts, drivers, restraints, industry challenges and strategic recommendations that are guaranteed to benefit both vehicle manufacturers and suppliers in this market. Euro NCAP NCAP New Car Assessment Program NCAP Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides NCAP Network Capable Application Processor (from IEEE standard 1451. Combined with Government Legislation Drives Demand for Pedestrian Safety Systems "The European new car assessment programme (Euro NCAP) introduced stringent pedestrian protection tests to drive installation of pedestrian safety systems in vehicles," notes the analyst of this study. "As a result, vehicle manufacturers are working on better solutions to meet the necessary criteria." The European Pedestrian Protection Legislation comprises tests divided into two phases. The first phase was implemented in October 2005 and the second phase of test is expected to come into effect from 2010. The latter phase of tests is anticipated to be a lot more challenging than the former. In addition, legislation demands that these systems have to be installed as a standard in all vehicles, thus driving up the number of pedestrian protection systems in use. Still under Development, Active and Passive Pedestrian Safety Systems are Likely to Demonstrate High Growth Rates Growth Rates The compounded annualized rate of growth of a company's revenues, earnings, dividends, or other figures. Notes: Remember, historically high growth rates don't always mean a high rate of growth looking into the future. Unlike passive occupant occupant n. 1) someone living in a residence or using premises, as a tenant or owner. 2) a person who takes possession of real property or a thing which has no known owner, intending to gain ownership. (See: occupancy) protection systems, pedestrian protection systems, both active and passive, are still being developed. However, growing concerns for pedestrian safety and government legislation is likely to keep demand steady for these systems. Automobile manufacturers are working on various pedestrian safety solutions such as introducing energy absorption front end, installing deployment solutions (airbags, deploying bonnets or bumpers) or going for more active safety solutions such as driver warning systems and automatic systems. "Vehicle manufacturers are likely to initiate their pedestrian-friendly vehicles and thereby, fan the growth potential of this market by introducing various structural changes to the front end of the vehicle," explains the analyst. "In the passive segment, developments in obstacle sensing and classification sensors are expected, whereas in the active segment, it translates to offering night vision systems, advanced headlamps, driver warning systems and automatic systems, steadily increasing the overall growth of this market."
