Reducing blind spots and improving driver visibility are important issues for operators of road-going vehicles. Over the past few years, safety devices such as additional mirrors or camera systems that give wider viewing angles have become commonplace and even mandatory under blind spot legislation.
Despite an increase in visibility, collisions with other vehicles, fixed objects, cyclists, workers and even pedestrians remain high. Implementing collision avoidance systems allow for drivers to be more aware of imminent collisions by providing alerts in response to the surrounding environment, visibility to blind spots, and correcting poor driving habits that may result in an accident.
Preventing accidents is simplified with these solutions.
Brigade's Ultrasonic proximity sensors minimize both vehicle damage and collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, or objects. These are ideal for trucks operating in confined spaces or maneuvering at low speeds. The detection system alerts the driver of obstacles close to the vehicle — whether moving or stationary. An audible and/or visual in-cab warning informs of distance whilst an optional external speaking alarm can be added to alert cyclists and pedestrians that the vehicle is turning.
Backsense heavy-duty radar sensor systems are designed to detect people and objects in blind spots, significantly reducing accidents. They detect stationary and moving objects, providing the driver with in cab visual and audible warnings to alert the driver whose attention cannot be focused on all danger areas simultaneously. Backsense obstacle detection sensors work effectively in harsh environments and in poor visibility including darkness, smoke and fog. Backsense radar uses Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology, transmitting a continuously varying radar frequency signal with unique time stamps to each instance of the wave. The time of the returning wave is referenced to the stamp without the radar needing to pause transmitting. This gives more accurate detection than alternative radar products using Pulse Radar technology that transmit a burst of radar and then listens for the returning wave.
The Mobileye 630 is an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) that helps avoid collisions by providing drivers with a combination of visual and audible warnings. The Mobileye 630 system uses an artificial vision sensor to constantly monitor the road of pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. The system serves as an extra set of eyes on the road to alert a driver if a collision is imminent. Not only do these warnings help drivers avoid dangerous road situations, they also help drivers improve their driving behaviors. The Mobileye System meets the guidelines established by the NHTSA for Foward Collision and Lane Departure Warnings, setting the standard for collision avoidance systems worldwide.
