PALO ALTO, Calif.--March 8, 2005--Frost & Sullivan will host a conference call Thursday March 10, 2005 at 1pm EST to provide industry participants an overview of the recently published studies focusing on the Strategic Analysis of North American Active Safety Systems Markets and Safety Restraints Systems Markets.

"Safety Systems are poised to witness rapid adoption on light vehicles in the coming years. Active and Passive Safety Systems Markets are all set to boom," says Anis Sayyad, Senior Research Analyst for Frost & Sullivan's Automotive & Transportation group.

Increasing consumer awareness, present and potential regulatory requirements, and the need for product differentiation in an increasingly competitive market are fueling a boom in the automotive safety market. The emphasis has evolved from minimization of injuries, in the event of a crash, to avoidance of crash through the use of active safety systems capable of detecting a potential crash situation and supplementing driver effort.
