Intelligent tire technology consists of a feedback microchip which sends data about the road, weather, tire pressure, tire tread wear, and a host of other parameters to the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). This data enables the ECU to automatically refine the vehicle’s longitudinal and lateral control algorithms to deliver an enhanced driving performance.The intelligent tire technology improves the overall performance of a car. This includes reducing the stopping distances when the anti-lock braking system (ABS)

kicks in. It also provides greater stability due to a more informed electronic stability control (ESC) system.

The automotive glass market comprises glasses used in windshields and in the side and rear windows of a vehicle.

Collapsible steering column consists of two hollow shafts with the smaller shaft placed inside the other. The two shafts are fitted into each other with the help of bearings and sealing. This design structure allows the steering column to collapse during a frontal impact and absorbs the energy of impact.The collapsible steering column is a part of vehicle’s passive safety system and is developed to reduce the risk of injuries to the driver during front collisions. The general principle of the collapsible steering column is similar to that of a traditional steering column, transferring the motion of steering wheels to ground wheels through steering gearbox, with an exception of the structural design.

ATIS is a system, which is used to automatically inflate the vehicle tires whenever the internal pressure of the tire drops below the pre-set level.The market encompasses automatic tire inflator systems, which can monitor pressure inside vehicle tires and detect a pressure drop from pre-determined level,alert the driver, and automatically inflate the tire back to the needed pressure.

Automatic tray loading systems are equipment deployed for physical movement of goods/materials/products within the industrial facility, warehouse, and distribution centers. These systems are used to load the finished products in specific containers in a process line. Conveyor systems play a major role in automatic tray loading systems. These are customized products and are manufactured according to the specific requirements of the application and the end-users.The automatic tray loading system market has been segmented on the basis of endusers into automotive and auto components, electronics and electrical, e-commerce,and F&B industries.

The revenue generated from non-aeronautical services conducted in airports is known as non-aeronautical revenue. These services include hangar rentals, food and beverages, car rentals, and vehicle parking.In this report, Technavio has considered five major sources of non-aeronautical revenue, including the revenue generated from concessionaires, parking and car rentals, land rent, terminal rentals, and other services.Technavio expects the global airport non-aeronautical revenue market to grow at a CAGR of 8.95% during the forecast period. In 2016, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) led the market with a share of 37.21%, followed by the Americas with a share of 32.69%, and Asia-Pacific (APAC) with a share of 30.1%. Over the forecast period,APAC will be the fastest growing market in terms of generating non-aeronautical revenue, with a major share of expenses from China, India, Singapore, Japan,Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.

HVAC is a technology to maintain the internal temperature of the cabin of the vehicle.Automotive HVAC systems comprise five main components, namely a compressor,heat exchanger, evaporator, thermal expansion valve, and accumulator, which are coupled with ducts. Due to the increased demand for comfort in vehicles, the HVAC systems have become a necessity. As a result, in the Americas, even the lower variants of the mass-selling cars are equipped with HVAC systems.

Polystyrene (PS) foam was initially used as a rubber replacement and as a coating to protect metal, wood, and other similar materials. However, with the invention of polyurethane (PU), the scope of application of polymer foam extended to the furniture and automotive industries. The invention of injection molding, twin screw foam, and other extrusion techniques led to a further increase in the spectrum of applications in which it can be used.
