TRW Automotive is at the forefront of high tech electronic actuation technologies that enhance performance and offer added safety features such as Brake Assist (BA). Brake assist senses when a driver applies the brakes in an emergency situation and activates an electronic booster that employs the ABS. This can lead to enhanced reductions in stopping distance. Additionally electronic apply capability enables advanced technologies such as TRW's Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and helps lead to improved performance characteristics for ACC.
