Automotive Speed Control Systems

Summary

Vehicle speed is a topic that is regularly aired when safety on the roads is discussed. Keeping to speed limits is one aspect, and driving smoothly is another. Adaptive cruise control can help with both, but until now the cost of the radar sensor has meant that this feature has been limited to the most expensive luxury and sporting vehicles. With Freescale's recent announcement of the introduction of SiGe radar technology, the near future looks promising for much wider availability of this useful system. Manual speed limiting systems are also gradually gaining in popularity, and as on-board navigation systems and sign recognition cameras also are becoming more widespread, the potential is there for intelligent speed assistance capability to be introduced. ABI Research forecasts significant growth from 2013 on.

This study examines the technology advances that have led to the current state of vehicle speed control in the market, and provides world region forecasts though 2016 for both adaptive cruise control and intelligent speed assistance. An overview of features available by vehicle manufacturer and supplier capability is also provided, along with detailed discussion of the key factors affecting the market.
