Collision Avoidance: Innovations in Vehicle Safety Systems

Frost & Sullivan to Host Interactive Analyst Briefing on the North American Safety Systems Industry

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 30 -- The Automotive & Transportation Group at Frost & Sullivan (http://www.transportation.frost.com/ ) will host its second quarter analyst briefing webcast on Thursday, June 8, 2006 at 3:00 p.m. EDT.

Industry Analyst Robert Cavin will provide insightful commentary on accident statistics, driver assistance systems, and automaker/supplier trends regarding collision avoidance, followed by a question and answer session.

This briefing will benefit automakers, suppliers, current drivers and potential vehicle consumers by discussing emerging active safety and driver assistance technologies for North American-produced vehicles.

Once focused primarily on protecting occupants in the event of a crash, automakers are increasingly incorporating active safety and driver assistance systems to alert drivers to potential dangers and help them avoid collisions altogether.

"Improvements in passive safety systems, such as airbags and seat belts, are yielding diminishing returns. Blind spot detection, lane departure warning, night vision, occupant monitoring, and park assist systems, among others, have great potential to reduce the number of collisions, injuries and fatalities that occur annually," notes Cavin.

Those interested in participating in the interactive webcast should send an email to Tolu Babalola, corporate communications, at tolu.babalola@frost.com with the following information: full name, company name, title, telephone number, e-mail address, city, state and country. The registration details will be emailed to you upon receipt of the above information.
