It is important for vehicle manufacturers to avoid compromising security for the sake of convenience by using a smart key system. Smart key systems have been available in Europe since 1999, but there has been a significant rise in the number of systems launched, or announced, during 2004 and early 2005. This report outlines the market trends for smart key systems and provides a summary of the results to date of an ongoing benchmarking
Benchmarking (also "best practice benchmarking" or "process benchmarking") is a process used in management and particularly strategic study undertaken. The aim of the study is to assess the feature, convenience and security levels of a range of smart key systems and to compare their performance against the UK insurance industry criteria. Topics covered in the report include: - Availability by brand - System types - Vehicles tested - Implementation - Technical requirements For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c20807 |
