Brigade Sidescan Predict
UK – Brigade Electronics Plc of South Darenth, Kent, a specialist in electronic warning and safety devices, has launched a new road safety product, Sidescan Predict, comprising six sensors which use ultrasonic technology that alerts the driver to potential vehicles, objects and pedestrians, and is designed for collision avoidance within a detection area of 2.5 metres.
Brigade explained the algorithm is constantly being fed object detection data such as distance, speed, direction, acceleration and turning rate of vehicles and objects to calculate the risk of a collision. The product has also been accredited by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) as an effective road safety product, in large part due to its seven-year, 10,000-hour cycle of testing.
