Brigade’s Front Radar is the latest innovation in front-detection safety, specifically designed to protect cyclists from collisions with HGVs. The advanced radar system uses AI technology to detect a potential collision by analysing data such as speed and direction of both the vehicle and cyclist. By differentiating between static and moving objects, the Radar algorithm alerts the driver when an impact with a cyclist is likely.
HGVs pose a risk to both pedestrians and cyclists, with collisions involving a large vehicle far more likely to prove fatal than those involving a car. Many collisions between cyclists and HGVs occur because the driver has limited direct vision (the ability to see what is outside their cab without using indirect means of mirrors or cameras).
The single dual-radar unit is fitted on the front of the truck and gives complete coverage to the front of the vehicle. The driver is alerted if a cyclist enters the detection zone and receives a second warning if a collision is predicted.
Please Note: A self-certifying statement is needed to obtain certificate to state that sensors have been fitted in accordance with the technical specifications AND are in working order, this statement must come from the fitter.
Installation can be done at our workshop in Newmarket or by one of our trained mobile fitters. Please contact us to arrange installation.
