Drivers

Regulatory Mandates 

• Stronger government regulations across regions, especially in Europe and North America, have forced vehicle manufacture to comply with advanced pedestrian protection systems requirements. Such requirements mandate that automatics attach automatic emergency braking and collision avoidance features into all new developments in vehicle models. This has enhanced significantly speed in setting up and developing such technologies. 

Consumer Safety Awareness 

• Consumers' increasing concern with automobile safety has created a high demand for improvements in pedestrian security. Consumers are showing greater interest in safety features for vehicles, which, in turn, necessitates automakers to integrate the latest pedestrian safety technologies into their vehicles. This move epitomizes the ever-increasing consumer trend of buying vehicles from a safety-conscious perspective and hence pushes the market upward. 

Restraints 

High Implementation Costs 

• Advanced pedestrian protection systems have a much higher addition to the vehicle manufacturing cost, for instance, automatic braking and external airbags. Development, testing, and implementation costs of this technology can be overwhelming, especially for lower budget and mid-range vehicles. As a result, the systems are not so commonly adopted. 

Compatibility with Existing Vehicle Designs 

• Due to design and structure limitations, integrating sophisticated pedestrian protection systems is very challenging. In retrofitting old vehicles or installing these systems on various vehicles, massive modification is often required, which is not only expensive but also very technical. These facts limit the widespread acceptance of the systems.
