The great news is SGESCO-MAX has a range MAX-SAFE solutions for heavy vehicles that uses the latest European technologies to detect and protect pedestrians and comply with these new regulations. These include:

MAX-SAFE VISION SOLUTIONS

This range of camera solutions delivers the most advanced vision-based safety available, using AI and Machine Learning (ML). See: Rear View, Corner View, Front View and Side View. They give drivers and fleet managers greater confidence knowing drivers can see everything around their vehicle. Options also include:

• 360° Birds-eye View
• Vulnerable Road User/Pedestrian Detection
• Single and Multi-Camera options
• Digital Recording & Back to Base options
• Analogue High Definition (AHD), Digital and Thermal Imaging options
• A range of monitor options

MAX-SAFE WATCH SOLUTIONS

Our Reverse Watch, Corner Watch, Front Watch and Side Watch use radar sensors to detect and distinguish between inanimate objects and humans, including distinguishing between a pedestrian or a cyclist. They can be set to detect various distances around the vehicle and notify the driver in the Cabin of any VRUs or objects. They can also be integrated with our Active Braking solution to prevent a vehicle from taking off or brake it if it is going less than 10km – before the driver has the opportunity to re-act and brake.

MAX-SAFE AUDIBLE WARNING

Our Audio Warning solutions can be played inside and outside of a vehicle when Vulnerable Road Users are detected. It can be paired with Watch and Vision Solutions.

1MAX-SAFE Anti-Rollaway Brake solution required.

A recordable monitor can be added (not mandatory) across any of the options to provide the driver with vision of what the camera is seeing (with the danger zone outlined) – while capturing video for later retrieval.

Our Vision Solutions assist drivers to move forward, turn corners, change lanes and reverse more safely and with certainty.

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 (VRUs) 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. These blind spots are major risks to VRUs, site workers and the general public. In fact, two-thirds of pedestrians killed on the road each year are killed by vehicles doing less than 60 km/hr. (2018 figures).

With more VRUs on shared roads in our cities along with more heavy vehicles due to construction projects and T&L it’s important that heavy vehicles have advanced and affordable pedestrian protection solutions.

Being able to detect VRUs keeps our roads and communities safer while saving all parties the physical, emotional and financial toll resulting from injuries and fatalities.

With over twenty years’ experience in providing safety solutions we’re able to design an integrated solution that’s right for any application and industry.

Our Vision solutions have been developed through our understanding of the blind spots vehicles have and the challenges driver face in any situation.

The full range provides the best detection of vulnerable road users, vehicles, and property – giving drivers and fleet managers greater confidence knowing they can see everything around their vehicle.

Our Vision solutions are part of our MAX-SAFE Safety Eco-System and can be integrated with other MAX-SAFE solutions like automatic braking and audible and visual alerts (e.g., flashing lights).

When combined with other MAX-SAFE solutions from the MAX-SAFE Safety Eco-System, MAX-SAFE Vision helps to increase the overall level of fleet safety maturity.

With these solutions on board, Fleet Managers know they are doing their all to protect their drivers, vulnerable road users and property.
