Blind Spot Monitoring Solutions For Heavy Vehicles | SGESCO-MAX

Why you need it

Managing blind spots in a heavy vehicle is a constant challenge. The sheer size of these vehicles creates significant visibility limitations, putting drivers and vulnerable road users at risk.

Our blind spot monitoring systems are designed to overcome this challenge. We offer a range of options from the basic vision based high-definition cameras, to the more advanced AI camera and radar technologies. These more comprehensive solutions not only identify blind spots (as well as the pedestrians & vehicles within), but in some cases, can also provide active protection through automatic braking.

Our MAX-SAFE Watch (sensor based) and MAX-SAFE View (AI-camera based) solutions work together to create an ecosystem of safety around the vehicle. Unlike passive systems that rely solely on the driver to react, our active solutions detect and respond to potential hazards before they become a reality.

With 360-degree coverage and superior performance in all weather conditions, our solutions offer the ultimate safety net for your fleet.

Enhanced Detection

Our systems utilise cutting-edge technology to detect pedestrians and other road users around the vehicle.

This advanced detection capability helps to ensure that drivers are always aware of their surroundings, reducing the risk of accidents.

Whether it's a busy urban environment or an industrial site, our detection systems provide reliable safety.

Accurate Activation

The latest MAX-SAFE systems have been tuned to reduce false-positive activation. They are designed to provide continuous protection, and in some cases not require manual intervention to stop the vehicle.

This feature eliminates the risk of human error, ensuring that the safety systems are always engaged. Drivers can focus on their tasks, knowing that the system is actively monitoring potential hazards for them.

User-Friendly

Designed for ease of use, our systems integrate seamlessly with vehicle operations. The user-friendly design provides clear verbal alerts and warnings, allowing drivers to respond quickly to potential dangers.

This intuitive design ensures that safety features do not disrupt the driver's routine unnecessarily but enhance their situational awareness.

Assistance and safety aid for the driver.

Protection of the vehicle and equipment from damage.

Insurance against driver oversight.

Both visual alerts for drivers and audible warnings for pedestrians.

Fault monitoring and override.

Monitor

Each system continuously monitors the vehicle's surroundings.

This constant surveillance ensures that any potential hazards are detected early, providing ample time for corrective actions.

The monitoring of each system is designed to detect either pedestrian, vehicles, and/or other obstacles, with high accuracy.

Warn

The system provides multiple warnings to alert the driver and nearby pedestrians of potential danger.

These warnings include audible and visual alerts in the direction of the danger.

The comprehensive warning system ensures that all parties are aware of the risk, allowing them to take necessary precautions.

Act

Upon detecting a potential hazard, the systems activate automatically, initiating a series of warnings and preventative measures.

This immediate response includes activating verbal alarms, flashing lights, and in some cases, automatic braking.

The automatic activation aims to ensure that the vehicle is secured against unintended collision.

In the waste industry (collection and landfill), blind spots were found to be one of the key reasons for fatalities that occurred in a 2013-2014 study, finding that:
- Operators did not see someone in their blind spot
- Operators thought their vehicle’s path was clear

Depending on the heavy vehicle being operated, their drivers may only have 180-degree visibility.
For some vehicles, an average height person (1.76m) standing within two metres of the front of the cabin could not be seen by a driver without the use of additional technologies.
You can see in the diagram that for the cement truck, over 90 degrees of viewing angle is in the driver’s blind spot (shaded red).

"When you go to a fire, and your adrenaline is rushing, you need to focus on the fire and what you need to do. Worrying about whether you’ve left the handbrake on or not, is the last thing on your mind."

Lenny Toscano
First Officer for the Brigade, QLD Rural Fire Service

"The MAX-SAFE Seatbelt Warning System™ optimises the safety of our clients’ most valuable asset – their employees – and Kinetics employees."

Joe Gould
Regional Manager – Workshop, Kinetic Specialised Resources

"When you see the kits, the installation and how it works in action, no driver intervention, nothing for the driver to remember, safety of the vehicle and safety of the people, it’s well worth it."

Wayne Muiznieks
Fleet Coordinator, Connetics, New Zealand

"Less than 45 minutes into day one of the trial, the system prevented what could have been a potential accident with an adult. It highlighted how close a near miss it was and how vital this type of solution was."

Jonathan Dick
General Manager Fleet & Systems, Smart Environmental, NZ

"MAX-SAFE Side View Solution provided superior VRU detection to standard side mirrors and cameras and was most beneficial to the drivers involved in the trial."

Matthew Wentman
National Fleet Manager, Cleanaway Waste Management

"We have used SGESCO-MAX products for over three years and have found them to be an innovative safety solution for our fleet vehicles and effective in achieving zero incidents in trucks reversing or accidentally rolling away."

Tony Rawson
National Fleet Category Manager, Suez Recycling & Recovery, ANZ

"There is a big need for MAX-SAFE products in New Zealand. You only hear about a roll away when there is a crash, but the number is far greater than what is reported. Recently, there was a tour bus in Auckland that rolled away and ran over a Mum and a baby. Both survived luckily, but if the bus had the MAX-SAFE device fitted this accident never would have occurred."
