Brigade Electronics uses ultrasonic waves to boost driving safety

Brigade Electronics says its Ultrasonic Detection System can help commercial vehicle drivers who operate in confined spaces or drive at low speeds to detect objects and people in blind spots. The solution scans an area around the vehicle using ultrasonic waves to detect moving or stationary objects - and then sends an alert to the driver.

4065 Brigade Electronics says its Ultrasonic Detection System can help commercial vehicle drivers who operate in confined spaces or drive at low speeds to detect objects and people in blind spots.


The solution scans an area around the vehicle using ultrasonic waves to detect moving or stationary objects - and then sends an alert to the driver.

Up to two Ultrasonic Detection Systems can work alongside a camera monitor system. Meanwhile, an on-screen display module mounted inside the cab warns the driver of obstacles by overlaying audible and visual ultrasonic data onto the camera image on the monitor.

These sensors are equipped to the front, front corners, sides and rear of the vehicle.

    Next generation safety technologies from Toyota
    Toyota has revealed two new integrated safety systems designed to reduce the risk of pedestrian collisions and deliver safer driving in traffic, both of which will be brought to market in the next few years. Its auto-steering function for its pre-collision system (PCS) works in conjunction with automatic braking to help the driver avoid an impact, while its automated highway driving assist (AHDA) system keeps the car on an optimum driving line and a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

    Xerox counts on machine vision for high occupancy enforcement
    Machine vision techniques can provide solutions to some of the traffic planners most enduring problems With a high proportion of cars being occupied by the driver alone, one of the easiest, most environmentally friendly and cheapest methods of reducing congestion is to encourage more people to travel in each vehicle. So to persuade people to share rides, high occupancy lanes were devised to prioritise vehicles with (typically) three of more people on board and in some areas these vehicles are exempt from

    City Safety reduces low speed accidents on Volvo’s XC60 and S60
    It was four years ago that Volvo introduced its City Safety collision avoidance system which is designed to reduce the number and severity of low-speed accidents to the US market. However, a study in America by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) has shown that the results may not be as good as initially indicated by an earlier report. According to Volvo, statistics show that 75% of reported collisions occur at speeds of up to 30km/h (18.6mph) typically in urban traffic and in slow-moving traffic queues

    Inrix integrates parking solution with ultrasonic sensors
    Inrix has introduced new technology that uses ultrasonic sensors (USS) to scan, collect, and transmit real-time parking occupancy information to help guide drivers to available parking spaces. It will also help to enhance the quality of Inrix Parking. As the car is moving down the road, USS transmit sound waves and collects data on parked cars and empty spaces. It is then sent anonymously to the Parking Cloud to be analysed and combined with the parking availability prediction engine which determines block
