K20 Obstacle Avoidance System
Over 5,470 people died in large vehicle accidents in just a year. Even worse, this number was reported in 2023. The rate of accidents and fatalities, especially in trucks and commercial vehicles, has only increased ever since. What is the root cause of these devastating crashes? Blind spots. These no-zones in large vehicles are more prominent and deadly. They can obstruct the driver’s view, preventing them from making informed decisions.
The solution? Our K20 obstacle avoidance system (OAS) can help avoid these accidents with real-time updates. Moreover, its sensors are versatile and compatible with a large variety of large vehicles. The system keeps you updated even if your side and rear-view mirrors are obstructed.
How Does the K20 Obstacle Avoidance System Work?
The K20 obstacle avoidance system is a simple yet effective solution for large blind spots. It uses waterproof and accurate sensors to detect nearby objects that might go unnoticed in your side and rear-view mirrors.
In addition, this system ensures that you can make well-informed decisions even without complete visibility. So, you can avoid last-minute responses that often lead to devastating accidents and severe injuries.
Key Features of K20 Obstacle Avoidance System
Our K20 OAS has all the features you need to increase your driving safety and avoid crashes. Here are the primary features in detail:
Object Monitoring
The K20 OAS uses a 77GHz sensor which operates effectively at short distances. It detects nearby objects, specifically in the front or rear.
Remember, in a large vehicle like a truck, the immediate front and rear sides are dangerous blind spots. One of the primary reasons for this is the driver’s cabin height. Hence, this sensor uses electromagnetic waves to detect an object. If the waves hit an obstacle, they reflect back. That’s how the system knows the presence of a potential threat.
Large Area Coverage
The waves emitted from the K20’s sensors cover a large distance. Its detection range from the front ranges from 0.2 to 20m. Similarly, the detection width is between 0.4 to 8m. Furthermore, you can adjust the ranges according to your requirements, but within the maximum limit. This distance is enough to monitor all small and large objects before they get too close to the vehicle.
Minimal Components
The K20 system only has two primary components: the 77GHz sensor and a buzzer. Besides those, there are only a few cables to worry about. The minimal components make the system easy to install. Additionally, there isn’t much regular maintenance required.
Clean the sensors and inspect the wires once in a while, and you can extend the lifespan of the K20 system by months.
Versatility & Variety
The K20 system is super versatile. It works well with a variety of vehicles, including forklifts, cranes, unmanned sweepers, engineering cars, and airport shuttles. Plus, you can also install it in robotic vehicles for obstacle avoidance.
It can work as both the Forward collision avoidance and Rear collision avoidance systems in different applications. For instance, you can use it for rear obstacle detection in large engineering trucks and airport shuttles because of their limited visibility.
Alternatively, you can use the system to detect the immediate rear blind spot in cranes or forklifts. Since these vehicles have a blocked forward view, the system can provide real-time updates to keep you notified.

So, let’s look at some of the main functions of our K20 OAS:
1. Audible Warning
Our K20 system comes with a separate voice warning device. It provides real-time updates and work collaboratively with the sensors. The buzzer triggers an alarm if it detects a nearby object. So, you can check the situation in the appropriate mirror and make an informed decision.
These real-time alerts are good for a specific reason. Firstly, they are automated, meaning they don’t require driver input. The buzzer triggers the warning ONLY after the sensors detect an object.
2. Dual-stage Warning
The K20 system uses two levels of warning for better threat perception. The buzzer triggers short alerts, asking you to slow down with longer intervals.
However, the warning starts asking you to brake with fewer intervals as the obstacle nears. It prevents drivers from getting overwhelmed and helps them take the right action at the right time.
3. Water Proofing and Weather Resistance
The sensor in the K20 system are highly resistant to extreme weather conditions. It can work effectively in rain, snow, and moisture. Moreover, these sensors resist outdoor elements like dirt and dust. It allows the system to maintain its detection accuracy regardless of the conditions.
4. High Detection Accuracy
Our K20 system is equipped with accurate sensors. It only triggers alerts if it detects a potential threat. How is that? Because of the obstacle avoidance system algorithm.
This smart algorithm uses the vehicle’s speed and distance to calculate the chances of collision with an obstacle. So, there are minimal to zero chances of false alarms with our K20 OAS.
