Driver safety systems are the systems that help drivers with tasks such as monitoring, warning, braking, and steering. These systems provide a two-second warning to drivers when an obstacle approaches. It keeps them alert to hazards such as pedestrians, lane changes, and short braking distances to avoid road accidents.

Stringent regulations from the government regarding driver’s safety and growing concerns regarding road accidents have surged the demand for driver safety technologies. Increasing road accident has made the manufacturer work on automotive safety & technologies to prevent accidents. The introduction of new technologies, such as driver alertness detection system and electronic stability control (ESC), has contributed to the growth of the driver safety market. These technologies tackled the safety issues and various causes such as driver’s distraction due to tiredness and drowsiness and have helped to lower down the road accidents in recent times.

Segmentation

Global Driver Safety Market is segmented based on Type, Vehicle Type and Region.

The Type Segment is bifurcated into lane departure warning steering sensor, electronic stability control, driver alertness detection system, pressure/angle steering sensor, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, eye-tracking/blink-monitoring, and others. Driver safety systems are active safety systems that help prevent accidents and crash by offering warnings or by providing additional assistance to the driver in the steering/control of the vehicle. Improving road safety standards/supporting legislation and consumer awareness in emerging markets are increasing the demand for driver safety systems in passenger and commercial vehicles.

Based on vehicle type, the global driver safety market is segmented into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The increasing demand to improve vehicle efficiency and the incorporation of safety features in both passenger and commercial vehicles are likely to drive the need for driver safety systems in the global market. Passenger cars are used to carry passengers rather than goods. There is an increase in the demand for passenger cars owing to the increase in population, high purchasing power, and favorable regulations.

Recent Development

March 2024: The Franklin Fire Department has started installing the HAAS Alerting System on its vehicles. The system alerts motorists when an emergency vehicle is approaching or nears an emergency scene ahead. It was activated in certain frontline apparatus last week and more apparatus will be brought online soon, according to Fire Chief Glenn Johnson.

When an FFD vehicle’s emergency lights are turned on, HAAS works by notifying motorists within a roughly 30-second radius based on location and timing that they need to slow down or move over for nearby emergency vehicles. It’s compatible with navigation apps such as Waze and Apple Maps, as well as vehicles that have the Emergency Vehicle Alert System feature, including 2018 and newer models of Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, and Dodge.

Tennessee state law requires drivers to slow down or move over for emergency and utility service vehicles if it is safe to do so. This alert gives them more time to comply with that.”It will probably warn them before they see or hear the fire truck,” Johnson said. He added that this is important because today’s vehicles are very well insulated against outside noise. The department hopes this technology can help prevent accidents involving their apparatuses and cut down on response times; they receive thousands of calls each year.In 2023, it responded to over 11K calls — including nearly 600 wrecks. “We’ve had several close calls over the years,” Johnson said about drivers not moving over while his crews work on the roadway. In 2017, Ladder 3 was struck while working an injury crash on I-65.

According to HAAS, its system has been installed across about 3,600 fleets nationwide spanning public safety applications; work zones; tow trucks; DOT trucks; infrastructure maintenance/service providers; telecom/utility fleets; solid waste/recycling/refuse fleets; school buses; and other public transportation vehicles. Fire departments using the system range from the FDNY to smaller, rural volunteer departments.
