‘Bus usage is currently at its highest level since 1968’

A rise in the demand for passenger vehicles has brought new challenges in safety and security. Large vehicles require skill and concentration to drive, but added to this, distractions from passengers and frequent stops put additional pressures on those driving buses and coaches. Double decker buses currently carry approximately 70 passengers but new vehicle design means that capacity is increasing. As well as a large number of customers to contend with, drivers must manoeuvre these large and heavy vehicles through congested traffic and watch for pedestrians crossing or hailing a bus. A moments inattention can have tragic consequences.

Incidents in the industry include;

  • Reversing accidents due to rear spot
  • Forward collisions with pedestrians due to front blind spot
  • Collisions with cyclists due to nearside blind spot
  • False insurance claims for damages and personal injury
  • Violence amongst passengers
  • Vandalism

Ultrasonic Sensors

Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors

Sensor systems for road going commercial vehicles regularly operating in confined spaces or manoeuvring at low speeds. Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors are the best sensors to help commercial vehicles operate in these confined spaces, making the task at hand, that much easier.

Thermal Imaging Camera

Infrared thermal imaging camera

The Brigade Electronics Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera systems enable drivers to see objects by detecting differences in temperature, improving visibility and reaction times and therefore reducing the risk of accidents, particularly in the dark or in harsh weather conditions.

Thermal Image Camera is used in a variety of industries, we're all well aware of spies and the armed forces using them in action, but in relation to vehicle safety these cameras are used to help drivers to see things that would otherwise remain hidden.

In the winter season for example, fog is a dangerous hazard that everyone faces. Eliminate some dangers by using one of Brigades' Thermal Imaging Cameras which allows you to see clearly through the fog by identifying heat sources from other road users or pedestrians, allowing you to identify the hazards around you and arrive safely at your destination.
