Refuse and Utility

Vehicle safety systems for the waste industry.

Refuse vehicles and waste trucks are typically large and heavy, making them less maneuverable compared to regular passenger vehicles, weight can result in longer stopping distances and difficulty navigating through narrow residential streets, crowded junctions, and pedestrian-heavy areas.

Due to the design of these vehicles, drivers have limited visibility around the truck, especially on the sides and rear. Workers, pedestrians and cyclists may inadvertently find themselves in blind spots, making them vulnerable to accidents and collisions when the driver is unaware of their presence.

Problems within the refuse and waste industry

While refuse collection is an essential service, operating garbage trucks and waste vehicles in urban areas can cause problems, such as:

 

  • Receiving complaints about noisy reversing alarms
  • Damage being made to parked vehicles
  • Collisions happening with people, cyclists and objects
  • Reversing accidents due to the rear blind spot
  • Receiving false accusations of damage to vehicles or property
To address these risks, it is vital for cities, towns, councils and waste management companies to implement safety measures. Fitting our advanced safety technology to waste and refuse trucks will support drivers with maneuvering their vehicles safely and help them to avoid collisions with people and objects. Overall, our systems will enhance the safety of the communities in which waste and refuse vehicles operate by preventing injuries and deaths.
