Detection

The system uses radar and AI-based cameras to continuously scan for VRUs around the vehicle. It identifies pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists in the vehicle's path, even in difficult-to-see areas like the sides or rear of the vehicle.

For example, the MAX-SAFE Side View™ and MAX-SAFE Corner View™ use AI cameras to cover wide areas, detecting VRUs at ranges of up to 14 metres behind the vehicle and 190 degree arcs on the front corners.

Alert

Once a VRU is detected, the system provides both visual and audible alerts to the driver. These warnings are designed to capture the driver’s attention and ensure they respond quickly to potential hazards. In some cases, the system can also trigger external audible alerts or flashing lights to warn pedestrians or cyclists of approaching danger.

Automatic Response

In certain cases, if the driver fails to respond to the alerts, the system can initiate automatic braking to prevent a collision. For example, the MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch® system will apply brakes if it detects a person behind the vehicle while reversing.

Heavy vehicle blind spots and size are key contributors to fatalities involving VRUs. In Sydney alone, over 51% of fatalities from heavy vehicle crashes between 2015 and 2019 involved VRUs. These statistics highlight the urgent need for safety systems that protect VRUs from accidents caused by blind spots and driver oversight.

International programs like the CLOCS Standard in the UK have demonstrated how implementing these safety measures can dramatically reduce VRU fatalities. With a 47% reduction in fatal crashes involving VRUs, the success of these initiatives is shaping safety standards worldwide, including in Australia.

"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."

"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."
