The Workzone Backsense pulsed radar system from 2662 Brigade boasts close-in corner-to-corner blind-spot detection, and is said to be ideal for light to medium duty mobile plant machinery. It completes Brigade's portfolio of Xtreme and Standard pulsed radar obstacle-detection systems.

Sensors are connected to an-in cab warning device to alert the driver of an object, vehicle or person in his danger zone when manoeuvring.

White sound reversing alarms (166 BBS-tek) will also be a strong feature as Brigade starts to phase out the beeping tonal alarms.

According to VTT, this uses a novel, real-time method of obtaining information on road surface friction and employs data collected from the car’s in-built sensors. This compares the speeds of the drive shafts and axles in an array of driving conditions, with an al
