Radar Predict
Description

The Radar Predict side-detection collision prevention system is revolutionising cyclist safety around heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). Recognised as the Most Innovative Product of the Year 2023 at the prestigious Motor Transport Awards, this cutting-edge technology leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to proactively warn drivers of potential collisions with cyclists, enhancing road safety like never before.

With a 180-degree cyclist side detection capability and an expansive detection area, Radar Predict offers unmatched coverage and reliability. It is designed for compatibility with a wide range of vehicles and focuses on reducing false alerts, ensuring drivers can respond with confidence. Easy to install, it meets UNECE Regulation 151 standards and complies fully with the DVS Progressive Safe System requirements.

By addressing the blind spot challenges faced by HGV drivers, Radar Predict automatically activates during vehicle turns, providing comprehensive protection for vulnerable road users while maintaining exceptional accuracy. It’s a game-changing solution for safer roads.
