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. However, despite an increase in visibility, collisions with other vehicles, fixed objects, cyclists, workers and even pedestrians, remain high.
Brigade’s ultrasonic proximity sensors minimise both vehicle damage and collisions with pedestrians, cyclists or objects. Perfect for road-going commercial vehicles operating in confined spaces or manoeuvring at low speed. 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.
4 sensor system fitted to rear of vehicle as an invaluable aid to safe reversing.
4 sensor system fitted to side of vehicle. Particularly relevant for near side blind spot where cyclists or pedestrians can otherwise go undetected.
An advancement to the standard Standard Sidescan® system, Sidescan®Flex allows the operator to choose from four detection configurations, each with different detection distances and audible and visual alerts.
Sidescan®Flex has an increased detection range of 2.5 metres
4 sensor system fitted to front of vehicle. Particularly relevant for front blind spot on high cabs where low objects or pedestrians can be hidden.
3 sensor system fitted to near side corner of vehicle cab to detect objects in front near side blind spot. Minimises the risk of damage to the vehicle whilst manoeuvring and turning whilst reversing.
2 sensor system fitted to nearside cab step. Minimises the risk of damage to the vehicle when turning whilst reversing.
Compliant with CLOCS, FORS and construction companies who require commercial vehicles to meet specific safety specifications.
Brigade’s range of ultrasonic sensor systems include; Backscan®, Frontscan®, Sidescan®, Cornerscan™ and Stepscan™.
Sensor data and camera image combined.
Working in conjunction with a camera monitor system and up to two ultrasonic detection systems, the on-screen display module warns the driver of obstacles close to the vehicle by overlaying 3-stage audible and visual ultrasonic data onto the camera image on the vehicle’s monitor.
