Growing market for advanced driver assistance systems

Analysis from Research and Markets forecasts the global ADAS market to grow at a CAGR of 24.97 per cent over the period 2014-2019. ADAS are systems that support, complement, or substitute the driver of a vehicle. They use radar and cameras to assist the drivers by providing real-time information about the surroundings.

Analysis from 7527 Research and Markets forecasts the global ADAS market to grow at a CAGR of 24.97 per cent over the period 2014-2019.

ADAS are systems that support, complement, or substitute the driver of a vehicle. They use radar and cameras to assist the drivers by providing real-time information about the surroundings. These systems help drivers to avoid collisions and accidents. OEMs are focusing on adopting advanced safety features such as ADAS because of growing government regulations focused on the safety of passengers and drivers.

The report segments the global ADAS market into seven categories: Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), park assistance system (PAS), adaptive cruise control (ACC), blind spot detection (BSD), night vision system (NVS), lane departure warning system (LDWS), and others (including adaptive front lighting, drowsiness monitor, forward collision warning, head-up display, and driver monitoring systems). These are sets of methodologies and technologies that transform unstructured and structured data into meaningful and useful information processes.

Increased demand from the developing countries for night vision systems and blind spot detection in vehicles is one of the key trends being observed in this market. Improved economic conditions in these countries, growing safety concerns among consumers, and increased road accidents as a result of poor visibility at night, while changing lanes, or merging with traffic have increased the demand for ADAS.

According to the report, the growing concern among consumers about automobile safety has resulted in increased demand for ADAS. The demand for in-vehicle electronic devices such as cameras, radar systems, and sensors that are used to examine road conditions and help to avoid accidents has increased.

The report also states that the high cost of ADAS because of the implementation of expensive technologies and systems such as cameras, sensors and radar and the high maintenance cost associated with the proper functioning of these systems hinder their sales. This limits their usage to luxury vehicles.

    IRD, Inc's Terry Bergan discusses future applications of weigh in motion technology. The application in recent years of Weigh In Motion (WIM) at tollgates has been driven by recognition of the fact that there is economic value, which can be levied, attached to Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) which haul laden (and are therefore heavy) rather than empty. As wear and damage to road surfaces increases exponentially with weight, the targeting of HGVs in particular makes sense from both the economic and maintenance p

Facing a predicted 46% increase in traffic levels by 2040 and the current economic recovery leading to more people travelling to, from and for work leaves the UK government under short- and long-term pressure to increase the capacity on the main motorway network. Particular sections of motorways are already experiencing repeated, sometimes tidal, congestion and both tight Treasury limits and t
