Direct Vision Standard
The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) is the first legislation of its kind. Since October 26 2020, ALL goods vehicles over 12 tonnes require a permit to drive into Greater London, including vehicles from outside of the UK. Starting in October 2024, it will be known as the “Progressive Safe System” (PSS). This transition is part of the broader effort to enhance safety standards.
Progressive Safe System (DVS 2)
The Progressive Safe System demands technology that can predict collisions based on the trajectories of the vehicle and the vulnerable road user (VRU). This prediction is crucial in determining if a collision is imminent. Furthermore, the system includes a specified alarm strategy designed to alert the driver to the severity of the situation.
General Safety Regulation (GSR)
De General Safety Regulation (GSR) voor vrachtwagens is een reeks veiligheidsnormen die van toepassing zijn op zware vrachtwagens in de Europese Unie (EU). De verordening bevat een reeks vereisten die tot doel hebben de veiligheid van alle voertuigen op de weg te verbeteren door het gebruik van geavanceerde veiligheidstechnologieën verplicht te stellen.
Vision Zero
R46
UN ECE Regulation No 46 (R46) covers devices for indirect vision and their installation by applying a test procedure to devices to establish whether all mandatory and optional HGV mirror classes allow the driver to view a specific minimum field of vision requirement. Only camera monitor systems with UN ECE Regulation 46 approval can be installed in place of a compulsory mirror.
Milan Blind Spot
The Milan Blind Spot Resolution 971/2023 requires owners of any vehicles in categories M2, M3, N2 and N3, dynamically circulating in Milan’s Area B from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., to have a purchase agreement in place and to have installed an advanced system capable of detecting the presence of pedestrians and cyclists near the front of the vehicle or on the sidewalk side and issuing an alert signal to both the driver and the vulnerable user.
IP Ratings Explained
An IP rating or Ingress Protection rating is a system formed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to define levels of sealing effectives of electrical enclosures against foreign bodies. To put this simply, an IP rating will indicate how waterproof and dustproof an electrical product is.
Electric Vehicle Regulation
From September 2021: All new electric and hybrid vehicle models released before 2019 that can operate without an internal combustion running must be fitted with an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System.
