Forward Collision Warning
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) systems from TRW use radar-based sensors and cameras to monitor the road ahead. They help provide object recognition and detect relative speeds between the vehicle and an approaching object. When the speed of the object is such that it represents a risk of collision, the driver receives an audible, visual or haptic warning.
Smart Thinking
Value has never been more important. This is why TRW has further increased its focus on affordable safety. And making safety systems available across all vehicles in all countries is something we feel passionate about.
Compact Driver Airbag
TRW's Compact Driver Airbag Module offers the next step for styling flexibility and lower mass, due to its small size. This module still accommodates all the features of a full function airbag system such as TRW's snap-in guidance attachment system, active tether/venting, single- or dual-stage inflators, inflator mass damper and horn function.
Vibrating Steering Wheel
TRW's vibrating steering wheel system allows drivers to be notified of possible collisions, lane departures or drowsiness warnings. This simple motor, mounted inside the wheel, can be customized to notify the driver of any imminent incidents or events.
Electronic Stability Control
TRW’s Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems combine anti-lock brakes (ABS) and traction control with a lateral stability control function. TRW’s ESC systems are specifically designed to help control and maintain the lateral stability of the vehicle. If a potential loss of vehicle control is sensed, ESC automatically applies brake pressure to the appropriate wheel(s) and, if necessary, cuts engine throttle to help bring the vehicle back in line with the driver's intended path.
TRW currently produces a full range of ESC systems including:
Electrically Powered Steering
TRW offers the largest selection of Electrically Assisted Steering (EAS) technologies in the world, and was first-to-market with Electrically Powered Hydraulic Steering systems for Europe. TRW’s expertise in the field has led it to offer three key types of EAS systems: Column Drive Electrically Powered Steering (EPS), Rack Drive EPS and Electrically Powered Hydraulic Steering (EPHS).
TRW’s EPS technologies are a key enabler for advanced comfort and safety systems, such as Park Assist, Steering Torque Control and Lane Keeping Systems.
Active Control Retractor
The Active Control Retractor (ACR) is activated through data from active safety systems, such as the Electronic Stability Control or Brake Assist systems. It can also be triggered by data from other environmental sensors, such as radar that provides the relative speed and distance to the vehicles ahead.
ACR offers reversible pretensioning, and a parametric trigger algorithm and functional software.
Camera Technologies
TRW's advanced camera solutions provide safety systems such as Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Following Distance Indication (FDI) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW). These functions are realised with a forward-looking monocular camera mounted at the windshield in the region of the rear-view mirror.
Radar Technologies
TRW's AC100 24 GHz radar makes mass market introduction of safety systems like Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Following Distance Indication (FDI) affordable.
