What is the Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and the requirements London has for the field of vision of heavy goods vehicles?
The city of London has decided to reduce road accidents by all possible means. The capital of England is determined to reduce the number of serious accidents and fatalities caused by HGV accidents to the point where there will be none by 2041.
The great city of London has set requirements for the field of vision. All heavy vehicles over 12 tonnes must have a safety permit (Direct Vision Standard, DVS for short) to be allowed to drive in the city.
What is FORS?
The London Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a voluntary, publicly funded certification scheme that aims to ensure that fleet operators operate within the law and in accordance with best practice by meeting specific standards.
It encourages behavior change and is aimed at commercial operators and local authorities.
FORS drives action from leading local operators by requiring them to meet standards and requires them to demonstrate improvement in their safety and environmental performance.
What solutions to meet DVS and FORS requirements?
The ABSP system: a perfect anti-blind spot system!
The ABSP is a driving assistance system that is activated when the turn signals are activated when the vehicle is driving below a certain speed. This system warns drivers, pedestrians and other road users of possible danger.
The system is designed with several ultrasonic sensors that will be mounted on the side of the vehicle to ensure safety during maneuvers.
Thanks to these 4 sensors, the ABSP system can detect people in the blind spot on the passenger’s side in order to avoid any possible accident.
How does the ABSP system work?
The ABSP system is triggered by the following situations:
When the system detects an object and there is no change in the detection distance after 4 seconds, the buzzer LED remains red although the audible alert is turned off. An Environmental Learning Mode (ELM) that prevents false alarms from the vehicle’s auxiliary equipment from entering the first meter of the detection zone.
