Commercial Vehicle Fleet Blind Spot Detection System
Fleet Blind Spot Detection System
Frequent Accidents Caused by Vehicle Blind Spots
In 2024 (January-September), there were 114,000 large truck collision accidents in the United States, resulting in 3,413 deaths, a significant decrease compared with 2022. In the first half of the year, there were 2,523 fatal accidents, a year-on-year decrease of 1%, and the number of deaths in multi-scenario accidents declined.
In 2024, 174 people died in heavy truck-related accidents in Australia, a decrease of 13.4% compared with the previous 12 months, and the number of deaths in accidents involving articulated and heavy rigid trucks both decreased.
Large trucks have extensive blind spots, with limited visibility when turning, and coupled with factors such as illegal driving, the risk of accidents is intensified.
YUWEI has developed an AI Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) to enhance the safety of large vehicles and protect the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians.
Features of the Blind Spot Detection System
① Integrates machine vision and AI: Cameras capture blind spot images, and combined with multiple technologies, it accurately identifies vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.
② Dual visual and auditory warnings: Alerts both drivers and pedestrians simultaneously.
③ Integrated CMS system: Equipped with multiple 1080p high-definition cameras to provide high-quality video for auxiliary judgment.
④ Supports personalized customization of hardware and algorithms.
Composition of the Blind Spot Detection System
The core components of the YUWEI BSD system include an AI Mobile Digital Video Recorder (AI MDVR), BSD cameras (up to 4, including side-view/top-view, etc.), a display, an audible and visual alarm, a speaker and other accessories. It is also integrated with the core modules of its truck fleet management solution to form an integrated configuration:
① Positioning and Perception Module: Integrated with GPS/BDS real-time positioning equipment to obtain vehicle position and transmit it to the server; an optional load sensor is available to assist in monitoring the vehicle's load status.
② Intelligent Assistance System: Equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), DSM (Driver Status Monitoring), and HOD (Head-Up Display, optional). Through facial recognition and image algorithms, it realizes functions such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning, fatigue driving reminder, and mobile phone usage detection.
③ Storage and Interaction Module: Supports cloud storage, capable of storing hours of high-definition video, and supports streaming or downloading. It is equipped with management software to realize device parameter configuration, privacy compliance settings and data viewing.
Installation Positions
Customers can flexibly select installation positions according to their needs, with a typical reference layout for Cab-Over-Engine (COE) models. Cameras cover the front, rear, left and right areas to ensure no blind spots are missed, and ADAS/DSM-related equipment is adapted to positions in the cockpit as required.
Implementation Effects
① Supports monitoring and alarming of vulnerable road users in 8 directions, meeting the requirements of relevant DVS PSS regulations.
② Complies with some EU regulations, improving the limited visibility issue of heavy trucks (effects vary slightly by vehicle model).
③ Achieves a 96% accuracy rate in identifying vulnerable road users.
④ Provides real-time voice warnings in scenarios such as turning to remind users to maintain a safe distance.
⑤ Open ports for docking with third-party fleet management platforms, supporting video transmission and GPS positioning. It can be expanded to monitor tire pressure and fuel consumption, helping to avoid the risk of data tampering.
Special Note
Cab-Behind-Engine (CBE) models have larger blind spots, and the front monitoring effect of BSD cameras is limited. The industry tends to adopt sensor solutions. For details, please contact YUWEI.
Application Scenarios
(I) Applicable Vehicles
Heavy trucks, trailers, large passenger buses, refrigerated trucks, tank trucks, large mining equipment, as well as commercial vehicles such as semi-trailer trucks, engineering vehicles, express delivery vehicles, dump trucks, food delivery vehicles and garbage trucks. Such vehicles have limited visibility and strong accident destructiveness, and many countries have issued regulations mandating the installation of BSD-related equipment (such as TfL 2024 PSS in the UK).
YUWEI has its own R&D team, providing hardware combination and software function customization, supporting third-party platform integration, and adapting to multi-language voice alarms. The system supports secondary development, and can recommend upgraded monitoring equipment and management platforms according to the growth of fleet scale and changes in business needs.
