WASHINGTON, June 13, 2011 -- TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (NYSE: TRW), the global leader in active and passive safety, continues its development of industry-leading camera system solutions for safety applications. Its latest generation product has led to a major new contract with a leading North America-based vehicle manufacturer to deliver advanced driver assist functions. TRW now has production contracts in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific for its camera systems, demonstrating the growing demand globally for active safety functionality and the Company's strong technology position in this field.

Already in production with current generation products, TRW will begin supply of its latest generation camera systems in 2013. These new systems are based on a scalable camera design where the base camera can deliver lane departure warning and/or active lane keeping functions; and are fully upgradeable to enable advanced features including forward collision warning, pedestrian detection and traffic sign recognition. When combined with a radar such as TRW's 24 GHz AC 100, vehicle longitudinal control functions including full automatic emergency braking are possible.

Peter Lake, executive vice president, sales and business development for TRW, said: "These advanced safety functions help reduce the number of injuries and fatalities. Governments and industry bodies around the world are recognizing these benefits and actively encouraging vehicle manufacturers to fit such systems. As a leading developer of intelligent, or cognitive, safety systems, TRW is well positioned to support its customers integrate this added safety functionality into their vehicles.

"In the US, for example, lane departure warning and forward collision warning are among the features currently being highlighted in the new NCAP ratings, and TRW's scalable camera solution will allow those functions to be delivered with the option for further technological enhancements."

Forward collision warning uses a forward-looking monocular camera with object recognition capability. This is linked to a warning device which may give visual, audible or other feedback to the driver that a potential collision is imminent, such as a brake pulse to indicate to the driver the need to brake the vehicle. TRW will develop the warning according to the vehicle manufacturers' preference.

Lane departure warning uses the camera to detect the lane or road edge markings and if a driver unintentionally crosses the lane (i.e. does not use the turn signal) a warning can be issued – such as a vibration in the steering wheel – to encourage the driver to correct their course. Using TRW's torque overlay technology, this feature can also be directly linked to the steering system to hold vehicles in lane unless the driver exerts a positive force to change lane.

TRW will be demonstrating its automotive safety solutions, including lane assist and guidance technologies, at the 22nd annual Enhanced Safety of Vehicles Conference (ESV) in Washington D.C. The conference, held from June 13-16, is sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and is one of the world's premier events in the field of motor vehicle safety research.
