Fleet Safety - Commercial Reverse accident prevention device
Parking-E Collision Avoidance System (fleet
Safety accident prevention device) Rear Sonar System has three to six
ultrasonic sensors built into the rear bumper, a dedicated computer and a
digital display inside the vehicle. When the vehicle is put in reverse, the
sensors send out signals that bounce off objects that are within range of the
sensors. The same sensors detect these bounced signals, which in turn, feeds the
signals to the computer. The computer then determines how far away the objects
are relative to the rear of the vehicle and sends a signal, consisting of a
series of beeps, to the digital display in the vehicle. As the vehicle
approaches an object the interval between the sonar warning beeps gets shorter until
the distance to the object is about (12 inches) when the beep sounds
continuously and 00 is displayed on the digital screen. The Reversing Sensor
System starts to detect objects at about (9 feet) from the rear bumper, but The Stratus
Group warns that the detection range and sensitivity will vary with different
objects, and that solid steel or concrete for example are easier to detect than
perhaps a plastic garbage bag or a bush. This backing accident prevention system
is the most advanced and cost effective system on the market.
