The construction sector is hugely diverse with a host of challenges for operators, owners and drivers. Design of modern construction vehicles has led to significant performance improvements, but the nature and size mean that driver/operator visibility is usually impaired.
Blind spots are a contributory factor in many incidents involving construction vehicles, especially when operating in busy cities and around VRU's with their shape, size and elevated driver positions all limiting the field of vision.
Being able to prevent incidents on sites and on public roads is paramount, with the added benefit of making the driving/operating experience easier and more relaxed.
Additionally, systems are designed to meet or surpass site access compliancy (i.e. DVS/FORS/CLOCS/SKANSKA/CrossRail).
