DVS 2024 AI Radar Solution

AI Direct vision standard Radar Solution with Compliance

Advanced Driver Safety & Compliance Technology for HGV Fleets

Our AI Radar system is an integrated, intelligent sensing solution developed to meet and exceed the latest Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and Progressive Safe System (PSS) requirements mandated by Transport for London (TfL) for HGVs over 12 tonnes operating within Greater London.

System Overview

Our solution combines high-resolution radar, AI-powered object classification, and smart alert logic to provide comprehensive blind spot and forward proximity coverage. It delivers robust detection of vulnerable road users (VRUs), including pedestrians and cyclists, in real time, both at low speeds and during vehicle start-off.

Key Features

🔹 Blind Spot Information System (BSIS)

• Multi-zone side detection using millimetre-wave radar (77GHz) for lateral blind spots.
• AI-based classification of objects (pedestrian, cyclist, vehicle) to reduce false positives.
• Audible and visual driver alerts via integrated cab interface.

🔹 Moving Off Information System (MOIS)

• Short-range radar sensors at the vehicle front detect VRUs in the direct path during start-off.
• Detection range: up to 4 meters ahead; response time <100ms.
• The system activates automatically below 12.5 mph.

🔹 Driver Alert Interface

• Intuitive HMI unit provides real-time feedback with prioritised alerts.
• Visual warning indicators paired with escalating audible tones.
• Configurable thresholds to match fleet-specific risk profiles.

🔹 Event Logging & Data Storage

• Onboard logging of detection events, alerts, and driver responses.
• SD card or cloud-synced data for compliance reporting and incident analysis.

🔹 Compatibility & Integration

• Supports integration with existing camera-monitor systems (CMS), including 360° vision setups.
• Compatible with CAN bus, GPS, and telematics platforms for full-fleet analytics.
