According to Newswire, the world's leading automotive active and passive safety system supplier TRW Automotive Holdings Corporation (NYSE: TRW) has successfully developed an advanced pedestrian protection system to help solve the global problem of road safety . The system is now a European car manufacturer for the production.

    TRW's pedestrian protection system uses up to three long-range acceleration sensor (RAS), the three sensors on the front bumper, can be sustained will speed up signal to the electronic control unit (ECU), and then sent by the ECU to the sensor data analysis. In the event of a collision, the system can determine the body or collision with other objects. If the test result is to the pedestrian collision, the system will enhance both sides of the trigger mechanism in the hood, the hood and hard engine parts at the bottom to leave more space between, to reduce the extent of possible damage.

    TRW vice president of global electronic engineering, Mr. MartinThoone said: "Based on proven hardware, software and control algorithms's mature technology, we aim at developing a reliable system. In the pedestrian protection system, RAS sensors can also be a direct match on a stand-alone ECU. However, the most cost-effective approach is to integrate the software into existing TRW to airbag control unit. "This integrated solution can make a positive impact sensors and pedestrian collision sensing algorithm to better coordinate work to improve the overall performance of sensing mechanisms.

    The system's benefits include: flexible installation in a variety of models are widely used; telecommunications interface is compliant with current industry standards, to further ensure a high degree of compatibility and reliability; TRW's patented X-RISA8 pedestrian collision detection algorithm The system also has been applied.
