Distribution
Distribution is hugely diverse with a host of challenges for operators, owners and drivers. Design of modern trucks has led to significant performance improvements, but the nature and size mean that driver visibility is usually impaired.
Blind spots are a contributory factor in many incidents involving trucks, whether rigid bodied or articulated, 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 experience easier and more relaxed.
Additionally, systems are designed to meet or surpass compliancy standards (i.e. FORS/CLOCS/DVS).
