TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (NYSE:TRW)
TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (TRW Automotive) is a supplier of automotive systems, modules and components to global automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and related after markets. The Company’s operations encompass the design, manufacture and sale of active and passive safety related products. Active safety related products principally refer to vehicle dynamic controls (braking and steering), and passive safety related products refer to occupant restraints (airbags and seat belts) and safety electronics (electronic control units and crash and occupant weight sensors). It operates its business along four segments: Chassis Systems, Occupant Safety Systems, Electronics and Automotive Components.

The camerabased FCW system uses a forward-looking monocular camera with object recognition, mounted on the windscreen behind the rearview mirror. This is linked to a warning device. The camera-based system can also support Lane Departure Warning functionality. RADAR-BASED FORWARD COLLISION WARNING
The radar-based FCW system consists of a 24GHz medium-range radar sensor. The radar sensor is mounted at the vehicle front and linked to a warning device. Radar technology provides high performance with direct measurement of distance and relative speed, operating under all-weather conditions TRW’s integrated technology warns the driver, actively assists to help avoid danger and intervenes to lessen the impact of an accident or helps to avoid one altogether. This integration is also key to the future of enhanced vehicle control, car-to-car, car-to-infrastructure and occupant/pedestrian protection developments.


The ACR allows reversible belt retraction in critical situations. It can be activated using data from active safety systems, such as Electronic Stability Control or Brake Assist systems. It can also be triggered by data from environmental sensors, such as radar that provides the relative speed and distance to the vehicles ahead. ENHANCING OCCUPANT SAFETY
One more step regarding the increase of occupant safety by system integration is the integration of the ACR with TRW´s Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). As the ACR can be activated prior to an automatic brake actuation, the efficiency of belt pretensioning increases.
