AI Cameras will Save Cyclists from Heavy Vehicles

Written by Admin | July 17, 2025

In the coming decade, 40% of Australians will be at risk of being struck by a heavy vehicle if fleet operators don’t take critical CoR actions to address blind spots with AI camera technology. 

With road usage changing dramatically, fleet operators can no longer ignore the reality and their safety obligations. As Australia’s leading heavy vehicle safety innovator, SGESCO-MAX can help organisations reduce their risks and keep the public safe by using highly reliable and affordable AI technology. 

It is important for heavy vehicle operators to understand the following: 

The number of cyclists on our roads is increasing exponentially. 

In 2021, approximately 10.19 million Australians rode a bike in the past year, with 4.62 million cycling in a typical week. Now with the advent of e-bikes, over 5 million Australians ride a bicycle every week, approximately 20% of Australia’s physically capable population.

MAX-SAFE Protect 360 AI delivers 99.9% accuracy in identifying cyclists.  

“By implementing Protect 360 AI, Fleet Managers can meet CoR primary duties – protect their drivers, VRUs and property – and keep productivity high,” said Scott. 

For any business, the cost of any HV accident is high and manifold. When the cost to protect VRUs with AI Cameras is minimal over the life of a vehicle, it doesn’t make sense for operators not to do this and do this now.
