Truck Blind Spot Detection Systems
In 2010, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reported 3,418 deaths in crashes involving large trucks. Within a span of 10-years, that figure jumped to 4,119 in 2019. That’s a 20.5% increase. The number of deaths of occupants of large trucks, over that same period, rose from 475 to 679 – a nearly 43% increase! While many of those deaths may be attributed to speed and road conditions, truck blind spot fatalities can’t be ruled out. That’s because the typical truck driver has a lot on his/her mind while on the road, and it’s hard to maintain focus during long hauls. But finally, help is now available in the form of our Truck blind spot detection system 79G 01R.
The Width, Depth and Breadth of the Challenge
The U.S. Department of Energy has a list of eight truck classes, each of which it categorizes by a measure called gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). Government agencies, truck manufacturers and the broad trucking industry refer to trucks using their GVWR. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), on the other hand, has a 13-category classification system, ten of which classify busses and trucks. Trucks
When it comes to haulage weight, trucks may haul as little as 6,000 Lbs. or less, to a massive payload of 33,000 Lbs. or more. These vehicles range from those with two-axles and four tires, to vehicles with seven or more axles and 18 to 24 wheels or more. Large trucks may vary in size too, from 20-feet to over 60-feet in length. Due to the size and capacities of trucks, one can imagine the need for a truck blind spot detection system!
What is the Blind Spot of Your Truck?
Whether you’re in the cabin of a 20’, 40’ or 60’ truck, the elevation from the road often makes it difficult to get a 360-degree view of where you’re driving. Unfortunately, traditional side mirrors or rear-view mirrors don’t help wither.
Inevitably, smaller, and larger vehicles may move into your space unseen, causing catastrophic outcomes. The field of space that you can’t see is the truck blind spot. The earlier you detect a vehicle in that blind spot, the faster you can react to avoid collisions.
The 79G 01R System at Work
So, how does blind spot detection work? Our 79G 01R blind spot detection system is a unique safety device for commercial trucks and trailers. The radar-based system alerts drivers of the presence of a moving vehicle in your truck blind spot, and provides a side collision warning to reduce the risk of accidents.
Our truck blind spot detection system comes with a range of features:
- High-quality design and manufacture, with specially selected parts and components
- Easy to install, with just a few simple steps
- Self-starting and inspection diagnostics
- Provides real-time monitoring and detection
- Two working modes – low and high-speed mode, allowing greater flexibility when driving
- Convenient alerting mechanisms that won’t distract drivers from making collision-avoidance decisions
- Penetrates smoke, fog, and dust, and is an all-weather and all-time warning system
So, how does blind spot detection work? It works by continually monitoring the field of vision around your blind spot, and then notifies truck drivers of up to 64 dangerous objects in adjacent lanes.
