What Are Concrete Truck Camera Systems?
Concrete Truck Camera Systems
In urban development, concrete trucks—key carriers for construction material transport—face challenges such as large size, multiple blind spots, and heavy workloads. Traditional rearview mirrors cover only about 60% of the field of view, with blind-spot-related collisions accounting for 42% of accidents, while fatigue and distraction during long-distance driving contribute to 28%.
The YUWEI Concrete Truck Camera Systembreaks through these limitations with “all-scenario perception + intelligent decision-making.”By combining reversing cameras, 360° surround view, DMS monitoring, and other modules, it equips these “steel giants” with “smart eyes.”

Blind Spots and Management Challenges
Concrete trucks are massive (over 6m in length, cargo box height over 3m). Traditional mirrors cover only 60% of the view, leaving blind spots that cause 42% of collisions. Fatigue/distraction accounts for 28% of accidents.
Construction sites are complex (mix of workers and machinery), and transport routes often involve height and width restrictions, raising safety risks. Single rearview mirror or standalone camera solutions are no longer sufficient.
YUWEI Concrete Truck Camera System
The YUWEI system adopts a “1+5+N” architecture(1 intelligent host + 5 major hardware modules + N algorithms), delivering a four-part safety loop:
1. Reversing Safety
2. Panoramic Monitoring
3. Driver Management
4. Proactive Warning
Together, they form an “inside-out” protection network.
Reversing Camera
1. 180° ultra-wide angle + infrared illumination
2. Covers 2–3m blind spot at the rear
3. Blind-spot cameras monitor 2m to the rear sides
4. Real-time ADAS integration:
① Object detected within 2m → short alert tone
② Within 1m → continuous alert + red warning frame on screen
5. Provides 2–3 seconds of reaction time
360° Surround View
1. Four 2MP cameras (front, under both mirrors, rear)
2. Intelligent stitching into seamless 1920×1080 3D panoramic view
3. Central screen shows chassis, wheels, body, and surroundings
4. Dynamic angle switching:
① Reverse gear → wide rear view
② Forward gear → low front obstacles
5. Results:
① Site scraping accidents reduced by 75%
② Reversing/parking time shortened by 40%
DMS (Driver Monitoring System)
1. Infrared camera (works in low light) + AI algorithms
2. Tracks face, eyes, head movements in real time
3. Triggers audio + visual alerts when detecting:
① Eyes closed >2s / yawning ≥2 times per minute (fatigue)
② Gaze deviation >2s / head turn >45° (distraction)
4. Optional identity recognition to track rule violations
5. Case study: One mixing station reported 60% fewer violationsand lower insurance claims
System Coordination
① Full HD host integrates reversing, 360°, DMS, blind-spot, and ADAS data
② Ultra-low latency processing (≤100ms)
③ Millisecond-level response for “image stitching – risk detection – warning output”
④ Smart display highlights key information (obstacle position, fatigue level)
⑤ Prevents information overload
Benefits Beyond Safety
The YUWEI Concrete Truck Camera System not only reduces accident rates but also:
① Cuts new driver training time by 30%
② Optimizes fleet schedulingthrough data insights (e.g., shift adjustments for fatigue-prone periods)
A leading construction group commented:
> “This is the ‘digital nervous system’ for managing concrete trucks, helping us shift from passively handling accidents to proactively preventing risks.”
