| Abstract |
| |
| The ABS/ TCS/ VDC programs
provide statistical data and qualitative analysis of the markets
for advanced, controlled braking systems. The three markets (North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific) are individually covered with extensive
quantitative research as well as in-depth qualitative market analysis.
Quantitative data are based on historical and forecasted system
volumes. Data are presented by type of system, by automaker, vehicle
classes and supplier. Qualitative assessments address primary market
trends, technology roadmaps, regulatory issues, supply-base maturation,
product mix, OEM pricing, key components (ECU, motors, sensors,
etc) and other topics. Each regional report includes review of automaker
and supplier programs with profiles for the primary system suppliers
active in the respective geographic markets. Profiles include information
regarding market positioning, business and technology strategies,
product offerings, corporate organization, facilities, and business
alliances. |

| Brake-by-Wire
(Electric Brake) |
|
|
| Abstract |
|
|
| The
Brake-by-Wire program addresses the emerging world market for electric
brake systems and components from 1998 through 2011. Detailed forecasts
of regional markets, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (Japan,
and Korea), focus on complete systems as well as major components
segmented, vehicle class, automaker and system type. The program
identifies and examines competing technologies, outlines automaker
and supplier programs with profiles of leading companies playing
key roles in the individual markets. It assesses the market impact
of this new technology on traditional brake systems and further
reviews the issues of 42 Volts as an enabler, ABS, drum and discs,
controller integrated circuits and power regeneration through starter-alternator
or starter-generator technologies. Factors relating to reliability,
maintenance, and weight reduction are considered. The program analyzes
costs, including various component additions and deletions that
constitute an electric brake system, fuel economy savings, warranty
issues and related topics. Regulatory issues are identified and
examined by region. Technical citations and relevant patents are
listed with notations. |

|
| Abstract |
|
|
| The Adaptive Cruise
Control research provides an extensive review of the market and
the associated technologies. Based in part upon accident reductions
in commercial fleet installations the market for this safety-related
technology remains a high priority for automaker consumer vehicle
applications. The report provides in-depth review of ~ 35 suppliers
with systems and/or components profiling each company's product
offerings, technology approach, patent status, key alliances and
automaker design wins. The report also provides an in-depth engineering
review and analysis of the technologies underlying adaptive cruise
control systems. It further examines proposed industry standards
and regulatory issues regarding the use of this feature in new vehicles.
This report program provides detailed forecasts of the market focusing
on both complete systems as well as major components; forecast data
are segmented by vehicle class, automaker and system type with supplier
market share analysis. The forecast horizon is 1998 through 2011.
A retrospective and overview is provided covering adaptive cruise
control used in heavy truck applications. Finally, because technology
patenting and licensing is a key factor in the development of this
market, an annotated list of over 400 Patent filings are listed
in the report. References are also cited for technical proceedings
and papers published on the subject. |

Collision Avoidance |
|
|
| Abstract |
|
|
| The Active Collision
Avoidance (ACA) client custom program identifies and reports on
the emerging technologies that are the building blocks of Managed
Control-Chassis Response and Integrated Intelligent Highway Systems.
The underlying research focuses on the different technologies currently
in use or development to assess the trends that lead to managed
opt-in or emergency based chassis response systems. The technology
assessment identifies the system architecture(s), technical goals,
barriers, and performance requirements. It further profiles prototype
system electronic control units, sensors, and related mechanical
components. Looking forward, the research investigates the distinct
stratification that is evolving around collision avoidance adoption
in each major market, North America, Europe, and Japan. The research
analysis provides an introduction and implementation forecast of
ACA by technology type. The research also profiles automaker and
supplier programs, focusing on their technology approach, strategic
alliances and patent / licensing status. |

| Smart
Booster / Boost Assist |
|
|
| Abstract |
|
|
| The Smart Booster /
Boost Assist custom client study reviews and analyzes the competing
technologies which enhance the application of driver commanded braking
forces. The research identifies by supplier system, the design architecture
and function objectives as well as the electronic and electromechanical
components used to control brake apply. The report further identifies
the integration and/or inclusion of hardware components with other
controlled subsystems such as ABS and Adaptive Cruise Control. The
analysis provides a technology roadmap to brake boost assist as
a fundamental system requirement for advanced braking systems and
other chassis systems. The research provides detailed cost assessments
of current systems with analysis and forecast of future costs. Key
suppliers are profiled with assessment and merit analysis of respective
product/ technology offerings, patent position, alliances, licensing,
and joint-venture arrangements. Systems forecast data are segmented
by technology type, geographic region, automaker, supplier design
wins and class of vehicle. Market drivers, including safety, weight
and performance to packaging and styling, are also examined . The
report includes an extensive listing of applicable patents with
abstracts of those deemed to have the most relevant claims. Citations
are referenced for technical proceedings and papers published on
the subject. |
