It is suitable for a wide range of heavy vehicles such as tippers, concrete agitators, waste vehicles, prime-movers, buses and heavy machinery. This advanced solution is mounted to the side mirror (left/right) or top of cab and can be combined with in-cabin alerts, recording monitors, as well as exterior audible and flashing light warnings to provide greater safety to people around the vehicle.

Heavy vehicles make up around 3% of the vehicles on Australian and New Zealand roads, yet are involved in around 16% of fatal road crashes. Across the region, pedestrians, cyclists and motor cyclists account for around 1 in 3 road deaths.

Blind spots are a major factor for many heavy vehicle crashes, masking up to 40% of visibility on some vehicles. Side blind spots, particular on the left-hand-side for left turning vehicles are major risks to VRUs. Equally, righthand-side blind spots are dangerous for all traffic when heavy vehicles move right into lanes.

Being able to detect vulnerable road users keeps our roads safer while saving all parties the financial and emotional toll resulting from injuries and fatalities.

Using the latest advances in AI and Machine Learning, the MAX-SAFE Side View™ solution detects vulnerable road users within a defined zone to the side of the vehicle. This zone is pre-set but is fully configurable.
