Vision Techniques spearheads innovative reversing radar system - guaranteed to prevent collisions

Blackburn-based Vehicle safety specialist, Vision Techniques, is pioneering an incredible reversing radar system - designed to prevent all types of reversing accidents while minimising false alarms.

A quarter of all deaths involving vehicles at work occur during reversing - according to government research - and many other reversing accidents cause costly damage to vehicles and equipment.

The idea of the new system, 'VMS Reversing Radar', is to prevent this by emitting an alarm if vehicles get too close to objects.

If the signals are ignored -- VMS will automatically apply the brakes.

Local authorities and vehicle manufacturers have hailed the reversing radar as revolutionary.

Designed for vehicles in any industry, VMS minimises false alarms by allowing users to control the radius -- or 'working zone' - in which the alarm goes off. Other vehicle reversing systems cannot do this.

The ingenious system detects the speed and direction of the vehicle as well as oncoming objects -- only alarming when the vehicle gets too close to the object.

Andrew Kendal, of Vision Techniques, said: "There are hundreds of hazardous situations which can be avoided by installing VMS reversing radar.

"Utilising state of the art technology, the innovative design can adapt to any working situation which uses vehicles.

"In addition to vehicle safety and security, there are many added benefits to using VMS. It brings financial savings, is eco-friendly, and is one of the most versatile and cost effective reversing radar systems available on the market.

"It provides a flexible solution to many vehicle safety and security fleet management issues."

It is easy to disable the auto braking function -- using a simple key switch. This might be necessary if a vehicle is working near a quarry face and needs to reverse quickly or into very tight space. Audible signals, do, however, stay active.

The latest 'FMCW' technology makes this incredible vehicle radar system stand apart from its rivals. Less advanced systems are unlikely to detect smaller objects.

Although the auto braking system works very quickly, it provides smooth ride.
