Obstacle Detection Systems
Detection SystemsBrigade obstacle detection systems help drivers stay aware of people, vehicles and objects around commercial vehicles and mobile plant. Explore radar detection, radar obstacle detection and ultrasonic sensors designed to support safer manoeuvring, reduce unnecessary alerts and improve visibility in demanding operating environments.

Obstacle detection systems that helps drivers respond with confidence
Brigade’s obstacle detection systems support driver awareness around commercial vehicles, mobile plant and specialist fleets. From radar sensor systems for blind spots to ultrasonic sensors for low-speed manoeuvring, each solution is designed to alert the driver when objects are close to the vehicle.
Whether you need radar detection for harsh off-road environments, cyclist detection for urban HGV operation, front blind-spot monitoring for DVS and R159 requirements, or ultrasonic detection for confined spaces, Brigade can help you choose the right system for your fleet.
Blind spots, restricted visibility and busy working environments place constant pressure on drivers and operators. Brigade detection systems add another layer of awareness by using radar or ultrasonic technology to detect objects in defined areas around the vehicle.
Systems can provide in-cab visual and audible alerts, helping drivers understand what is close to the vehicle and supporting more informed decisions when reversing, turning, moving off or operating in tight spaces.
Brigade Obstacle Detection Systems
Backsense® Radar Sensor
Backsense® heavy-duty radar proximity sensor systems are designed to detect stationary and moving objects in vehicle blind spots. The range includes fixed detection models and programmable models, allowing custom detection areas and calibration around fixed objects or bodywork.
Radar Predict
Radar Predict is an advanced blind spot detection system for HGVs. Using AI-powered radar technology, it analyses speed, direction and movement to distinguish between static and moving objects, helping reduce unnecessary alerts and supporting driver focus.
Front Radar
Brigade Front Radar systems are dual-radar collision prediction systems with a 180-degree detection angle to the front of the vehicle. They are designed to detect vulnerable road users in the front blind spot when the vehicle is stationary or moving off.
Sidescan® Predict
Sidescan® Predict uses ultrasonic technology and an intelligent algorithm to assess speed, direction and acceleration of both the vehicle and detected object. It predicts whether a collision is likely and alerts the driver through a multi-stage in-cab visual and audible warning system.
Backsense® Radar On-Screen Display
Backsense® Radar OSD brings radar and camera detection into a single in-cab display. Designed for construction and mining vehicles, it overlays radar detection information onto the monitor, helping reduce the need for multiple screens and supporting clearer driver awareness.
Ultrasonic Sensors
Brigade ultrasonic sensors are designed for road-going commercial vehicles operating in confined spaces or manoeuvring at low speed. The system alerts the driver to nearby obstacles, whether moving or stationary, using audible and/or visual in-cab warnings.
