Safety is at the heart of everything Veolia does. As a leading company in the waste management and environmental services sector, Veolia operates large vehicles on a daily basis – from refuse collection trucks to wheel loaders. These vehicles often work in busy, complex environments such as narrow residential streets or active worksites with pedestrians and other vehicles. This brings considerable challenges in terms of visibility and awareness around the vehicle. To better support drivers and minimise the risk of accidents, Veolia has relied on Brigade Electronics’ safety systems for many years.
The challenge: operating large vehicles in complex environments
Veolia’s operations demand the utmost precision. Refuse trucks manoeuvre daily through narrow streets, often in close proximity to pedestrians, children, and parked cars. At the same time, wheel loaders operate on busy industrial sites where people, trucks and machinery are constantly on the move. In such conditions, all-round visibility is crucial to ensure the safety of both drivers and bystanders.
However, blind spots remain a significant risk. Even with mirrors and standard kameralar, there are still areas around the vehicle that the driver cannot see completely. For Veolia, it was therefore essential to find a system that not only improved visibility but also actively helped to detect and prevent potential hazards.
The solution: 360-degree AI wheel loader safety cameras
To tackle this challenge, Veolia chose the Backeye®360 AI from Brigade Electronics – an advanced 360° camera system specifically developed to eliminate blind spots around vehicles. The system combines images from four cameras into a single, comprehensive view, enabling the driver to see the entire area surrounding the vehicle at a glance.
What sets the Backeye®360 AI apart from traditional systems is its integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This intelligent technology detects vulnerable road users – such as pedestrians and cyclists – within a pre-defined detection zone around the vehicle. When someone comes too close, the driver receives both an audible and visual alert on the display. This means the system not only improves visibility but also actively helps to prevent unsafe situations.
The collaboration between Brigade and Veolia has been strong for many years. Thanks to the close relationship and personal involvement of Dirk van Schuylenbergh, representative at Brigade Electronics, Veolia can rely on swift and effective support. Dirk understands Veolia’s specific safety requirements and ensures that every solution is perfectly matched to their operational needs.
We work closely with our customers to understand their challenges and identify which systems best fit their operations and for Veolia, the Backeye®360 AI was the ideal solution to better protect drivers and bystanders, and to further enhance overall safety.
Results: Improved safety and confidence
Since implementing the Backeye®360 AI, the benefits for Veolia have been clearly visible. Drivers now have greater situational awareness, allowing them to manoeuvre with more confidence in busy working environments. The risk of incidents has been significantly reduced, and the overall safety culture within the company has strengthened.
The Backeye®360 AI provides protection for both drivers and those working nearby. The system supports proactive decision-making, giving operators greater peace of mind in situations where every second counts. For a company like Veolia, where safety and efficiency go hand in hand, that’s invaluable.
Working together for a safer future
The partnership between Veolia and Brigade Electronics demonstrates how technology and collaboration can work hand in hand to create safer working environments. By adopting innovative systems like the Backeye®360 AI, Veolia continues to look ahead and invest in the safety of its people, its vehicles, and the communities in which it operates.
Brigade remains the trusted partner that not only delivers high-quality systems but also works alongside its customers to find the best safety solutions. Together, both companies continue to pursue their shared goal: preventing incidents and creating a safer working environment for everyone.
