ADR 105/00 Blind Spot Information System Requirements: Is Your Fleet Ready?

Understand ADR 105/00 compliance requirements for heavy vehicles in Australia. Learn how Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS) and Brigade's AI-powered Radar Predict technology can support compliance, improve driver awareness and help protect vulnerable road users.

Comply with Australia’s new ADR 105/00 blind spot detection legislation with Brigade Electronics Radar Predict.

From 2025, Australia’s ADR 105/00 legislation has required many heavy vehicles to be fitted with a Blind Spot Information System (BSIS). Fleet operators, transport companies and vehicle builders need to understand what the new requirements mean and how to prepare for compliance.

If you’re searching for an ADR 105/00 compliant blind spot detection system, Brigade can help.

What is ADR 105/00?

ADR 105/00 is Australia’s new vehicle safety regulation introducing mandatory Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS) for heavy vehicles to improve the safety of cyclists, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users.

From 2025

  • Mandatory for all new medium and heavy vehicles over 8 tonnes GVM
  • Optional for vehicles over 4.5 tonnes GVM
From February 2027

  • Mandatory for all existing vehicles over 8 tonnes GVM
  • Optional for vehicles over 4.5 tonnes GVM
The legislation forms part of Australia’s continued commitment to reducing serious road collisions involving heavy goods vehicles.

Why Blind Spot Detection Matters

Heavy vehicles have significant blind spots that cannot always be eliminated using mirrors alone.

Cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable when travelling alongside trucks during:

  • Left turns
  • Lane Changes
  • Urban deliveries
  • Low-speed manoeuvres
  • Pulling away from junctions

A compliant Blind Spot Information System provides drivers with additional awareness, helping reduce the risk of collisions.

Choose More Than Compliance

Meeting ADR 105/00 is essential – but choosing the right technology can make a real difference to driver confidence and road safety. Many traditional radar systems simply detect objects, resulting in frequent unnecessary warnings. Too many false alerts can lead to driver distraction and alert fatigue.

That’s why Brigade Electronics developed Radar Predict.

ADR 105/00 Compliant Blind Spot Detection with Radar Predict

Radar Predict is an advanced AI-powered blind spot detection system designed specifically for heavy commercial vehicles.

Rather than detecting every object, Radar Predict analyses:

  • Vehicle speed
  • Vehicle direction
  • Cyclist movement
  • Pedestrian movement
  • Relative collision risk

The system only alerts drivers when there is a genuine likelihood of a collision, helping reduce unnecessary warnings while improving driver awareness.
