Passive safety systems have contributed very much in reducing injuries or fatalities related from vehicle accidents for the last decades. Passive restraint systems such as belts and airbags have reached an installation rate of almost 100 %, providing an optimum of protection for the vehicle occupants. A further increase of road traffic safety requires also new generations of sensing systems. The systems shall also be capable to address the area of passive safety and active safety. With this type of sensing systems relevant data is collected in the surrounding of the vehicle. By combining this primary data with additional data from the vehicle, e.g. vehicle speed, steering angle, driver interaction etc. it is possible to activate non-reversible restraint devices for occupant protection as well as pedestrian protection systems. The system is also used to support braking functions to reduce the stopping distance of a vehicle. At low speeds a crash can most likely be avoided, even an automatic emergency braking would be possible with this type of systems in the future.
