Brigade Electronics 6153 Sidescan Predict Sensor System (12-24VDC)

Why Sidescan^® Predict?

HGVs pose a disproportionate 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).

Detection systems have helped make both drivers and vulnerable road users aware of the proximity of one another, however, these systems only alert the driver to the presence of an object, even if there is no danger of a collision. This can result in false alarms, leading the driver to become habituated to the warning and potentially rendering the detection system ineffective.

What is Sidescan^® Predict?

Brigade's Sidescan^® Predict is the next generation of side-detection sensor system, designed for collision avoidance between road vehicles, objects and vulnerable road users. Utilising ultrasonic technology, this intelligent system predicts if a collision is likely to occur. By analysing data such as speed, direction and acceleration of both the vehicle and detected object, and differentiating between static and moving objects, the Sidescan^® Predict algorithm assesses the risk and calculates the likelihood of an impact.

Sidescan^® Predict instantly alerts the driver to potential dangers via a multi-stage in-cab visual and audible warning system, according to the urgency of the situation - therefore minimising the number of audible alerts and reducing false alarms.

The Benefits of Sidescan^®Predict:

• Sensor & Mount Fittings - Reduced false alarms and driver habituation
• Visual and Audio Display - Ultrasonic proximity sensors minimise both vehicle damage and collisions with pedestrians, cyclists or objects
• Algorithm ECU - Conforms to side blind-spot legislations
• Retrofit - Sidescan®Predict is suitable for most rigid body vehicles

Designed for rigid-bodied vehicles, Sidescan^®Predict comprises of six ultrasonic sensors fitted along the side of the vehicle to increase safety when turning or low speed manoeuvring. Each sensor has a maximum detection radius of 2.5 metres.
