According to the Self-Driving Vehicles Study report by EPO, advanced driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, hill-start assist, park assist and lane-keeping assist, are already on the market.

Automotive manufacturers, their suppliers, and other tech companies are all currently engaged in pilot tests, including tests on public roads over considerable distances.

These developments will have a major impact on our transport system, including road use and traffic management. Connected automation could significantly increase safety and efficiency.

How does a car react to influences from the road? And how are vehicle dynamics, safety, and comfort combined?

In this report, we have analyzed;

• Vehicle stability
• Dynamic chassis
• Control (suspension & steering)
• Conjoint control of stability systems

The Innovation Rate graph shows the annual patenting trend in the technology field.

This chart uses geographic coverage of simple family members.

Technology focus graphic is a visual representation of 10 leading technology fields grouped under selected IPC (“International Patent Classification”) codes with regards to technology field in which the search was conducted. Each box corresponds to pre-identified IPC codes and the size of the box represents the number of patents in the technology area. This map is useful for visualizing the leading technology areas within the subject technology field and provides a reference for further patent data search as well as potential applications of technology areas within the subject technology field.

This figure shows the leading ten organizations in the subject technology field. Organization with the largest portfolio is on the top.

Yearly application trend of top assignees show the change in patenting activity.
