Obstacle Detection Systems

Product Highlights - Brigade

Backscan Ultrasonic Detection

Brigade's Ultrasonic proximity sensors minimize both vehicle damage and collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, or objects. These are ideal for trucks operating in confined spaces or maneuvering at low speeds. 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.

Kit Includes: four sensors, visual and audible display, a variety of degree (0 - 11) flush mount fixings, underslung fixings, waterproof control box, display cable, and sensor cables
Detection range is 8.2 feet to 2 feet, and is adjustable via dip switch
System is activated by rear-gear
Obstacles are detected in under 200 milliseconds
Environmental Learning Mode prevents false alarms from tow-hooks or other ancillary equipment that intrudes in the first 3.3 feet of the detection zone
Can be fitted to tractor-trailer vehicles with additional coiled cables
Additional scanning options available to build onto the Backscan: Frontscan, Cornerscan, and Sidescan

Backsense Fixed Radar Detection

Backsense heavy-duty radar sensor systems are designed to detect people and objects in blind spots, significantly reducing accidents. They detect stationary and moving objects, providing the driver with in cab visual and audible warnings to alert the driver whose attention cannot be focused on all danger areas simultaneously. Backsense obstacle detection sensors work effectively in harsh environments and in poor visibility including darkness, smoke and fog. Backsense radar uses Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology, transmitting a continuously varying radar frequency signal with unique time stamps to each instance of the wave. The time of the returning wave is referenced to the stamp without the radar needing to pause transmitting. This gives more accurate detection than alternative radar products using Pulse Radar technology that transmit a burst of radar and then listens for the returning wave.

Kit Includes: sensor, visual and audible display, and 29.5 foot cable
Maximum detection range is 19.6 feet depth, and 15 feet width
Bespoke detection areas can be set to calibrate-out fixed objects or bodywork
Controlled beam pattern to minimize false warnings
Effectively detects stationary, moving and multiple objects
Sensor is IP69K rated
One activation input
One trigger output
Audible/Visual display alerts in five stages of severity
Suitable for both on and off-road applications

Product Highlights - Mobileye

Mobileye Collision Avoidance System

The Mobileye 630 is an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) that helps avoid collisions by providing drivers with a combination of visual and audible warnings. The Mobileye 630 system uses an artificial vision sensor to constantly monitor the road of pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. The system serves as an extra set of eyes on the road to alert a driver if a collision is imminent. Not only do these warnings help drivers avoid dangerous road situations, they also help drivers improve their driving behaviors. The Mobileye System meets the guidelines established by the NHTSA for Foward Collision and Lane Departure Warnings, setting the standard for collision avoidance systems worldwide.

LED display on the EyeWatch for improved visibility
No ongoing subscription fees -- all alerts are in real time, cab-only
Integrates with most fleet management systems and ELDs
Very little driver training required resulting in quick implementation timelines and minimal loss of operational hours
Affordable and cost effective – ROI is typically 12 months or less
Reinforces safe driving habits helping to reduce collisions and subsequent insurance premiums, as well as fines for compliance
Safer driving habits, such as a reduction in sudden breaking, can also contribute to a reduction of up to 15% in fuel consumption
Reducing collisions saves money on yearly repairs or new vehicle purchases
Mobileye 630 systems integrate with Android and iPhone for enhanced display options.
Installation of 630 may require an Enhancement Box on some vehicles - those without J1939, or to integrate additional functionality like audio override or a seat shaker

Driver Assistance Alerts:

Forward Collision Warning: alerts the driver to an imminent rear-end collision with a car, truck or motorcycle
Lane Departure: alerts the driver if the vehicle leaves the lane without the use of a turn signal. System also notifies the driver whether this feature is enabled or not active due to low speed (< 35mph)
Pedestrian & Cyclist Collision Detection & Warning: notifies the driver of a pedestrian or cyclist in the danger zone, and provides a warning of a possible collision with a pedestrian or cyclist.
Headway Monitoring & Warning: informs the driver of the time, in seconds, to the vehicle in front. System switches from monitoring to warning should that time become unsafe
Speed Limit Indicator: indicates the posted speed limit and flashes should the vehicle exceed that limit
Intelligent High Beam Control: automatically turns the high beams on/off depending upon the level of light and relative distance from other traffic
Turn Signal Reminder: Alerts the driver if one or both blinkers remain active for an extended period of time
Low Visibility Indicator: notifies the driver during low visibility conditions. The system will continue to work, however, its ability to detect may be limited
