Blind Spot Detection and Cross Traffic Alert Systems

Automatic Camera and Radar Sensor Systems for Side/Rear Blind Spot Detection

Research Report

The market for blind spot detection (BSD) systems is set for increasing growth through 2016. The popularity of the application is being driven by add-on features, including lane-change assistance and cross traffic alert. Blind spot detection as a standalone application has never been a particularly popular option, but the development of new add-on features combined with the availability of active assistance makes the next few years a period of good potential for market participants.

This study examines the technology advances that have led to the current state of blind spot detection, and provides world region forecasts though 2016. 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.
