Davis Track Hire, Direct Vision Standard'nin İkinci Aşamasına Hazırlık Olarak Filo Güvenliği için Brigade Ürünlerini Kuruyor

Discover how Davis Track Hire upgraded its fleet with Brigade Electronics' advanced safety systems to meet London's stringent DVS Phase 2 requirements. Learn about the enhancements in safety features, including radar systems and side cameras, that ensure compliance and protect vulnerable road users.

Davis Track Hire operates a diverse fleet for various terrain applications across multiple sectors. As a leading provider of trackway solutions, the company has a critical need to maintain top-tier safety standards for its fleet, especially concerning urban operations in areas like London.

Banlaw Systems, a long-time Service Partner of Brigade Electronics, recently undertook a significant task to upgrade the fleet safety of Davis Track Hire with Brigade Electronics’ advanced vehicle safety systems. These upgrades were necessary to comply with the upcoming Phase 2 of the Direct Vision Standard (DVS), which is increasing from a minimum star rating of one to three in October 2024 and now includes technology to detect vulnerable road users (VRUs) around the vehicle effectively.

Phase 2 requires the mounting of the front and side radars at specific locations to ensure that the detection performance is not affected. Incorrect height, distance, securing of components and fitting angle can lead to poor or misleading detection for drivers, so it is so vital that installs are correct.

Implementing Advanced Radar Systems for Enhanced Fleet Safety Management and Direct Vision Standard Compliance

Based on Banlaw Systems’ recommendations, Davis Track Hire opted for Brigade’s radar systems, including DVS Front Radar and Radar Predict, side cameras, and side-turning speaking alarms. The choice was influenced by Brigade’s proven reliability and functionality of the systems. These products comply with the latest DVS requirements and offer superior detection capabilities around the vehicle, significantly reducing blind spots and improving the detection of both stationary and moving objects, including VRUs. Banlaw Systems carried out the installations to the highest standards, ensuring all systems functioned optimally and the fleet safety met all compliance requirements. All necessary documentation and training were supplied to Davis Track Hire.

The use of vehicle safety systems does indeed reduce accidents and save lives, but this only happens if the systems that are installed are done so correctly and professionally.

There is also an emphasis on quality installation, and this must be supported with documentation. The importance of having equipment fitted by approved installers is imperative.

Maximising Road Safety with DVS Phase 2 Upgrades

The upgraded fleet not only complies with DVS Phase 2 but also offers enhanced safety for drivers and pedestrians. Early feedback from drivers has been overwhelmingly positive, noting particularly the systems’ effectiveness in detecting VRUs at critical blind spots, such as during roundabout manoeuvres. The collaboration between Davis Track Hire and Banlaw Systems demonstrates a successful approach to meeting evolving safety regulations while enhancing operational fleet safety. As DVS Phase 2 becomes fully effective, Davis Track Hire is well-positioned to continue its operations in London, backed by the latest in vehicle safety technology.
