The solution provides a 360° Surround View with 3D Image Stitching and highlights imminent threat locations, minimizing cognitive load for operators.
Key Benefits
Minimize Unnecessary Alerts and Improve Visibility with 360° Surround View using multi-camera and radar systems with 3D Image Stitching, highlighting imminent threats, and reducing cognitive load.
External Alerts are activated only when two conditions are met: (1) the vehicle is in reverse, and (2) the camera or radar detects a pedestrian behind the vehicle.
Near-miss Detection and Reporting are streamlined through vCare™ Platform Cloud-Based Service by capturing video recordings of close calls, which are then analyzed to identify potential hazards and improve safety protocols.
Gain Control of Your Fleet through vCareTM Platform Cloud-Based Service offer live vehicle tracking, precision- over-the-air software upgrades, asset management, and remote diagnostics.
Cost of Inaction: Maximize long-term ROI by minimizing downtime, increasing efficiency, and avoiding costly fees from accidents, insurance, legal fees, and worker compensation.

Operator Assistance: Minimize Unnecessary Alerts and Improve Visibility
Awarded the 2024 NIOSH Mine Safety and Technology Innovation Award in the Sand, Stone, and Gravel sector, VIA Safety Solution for Heavy Equipment eliminates blind spots for operators with multi-camera and radar sensors. The solution provides a 360° Surround View with 3D Image Stitching and a Blue Box highlights imminent threat location minimizing cognitive load for operators. The system is adaptable, scalable, and customizable for various industries, with AI-driven updates and alerts for both operators and on-ground personnel.
Award-Winning Collision Avoidance System
3D Image Stitching & Detection
3D Image Stitching & Detection seamlessly combines multiple camera feeds to create a comprehensive, 360° Surround View that shows a bird’s-eye view of the surroundings, ensuring greater situational awareness and helping to prevent accidents while optimizing operational efficiency.
This advanced technology improves the operator’s reaction time towards obstacles and potential hazards, providing operators with a clear, real-time visual of their environment.
Blue Box swiftly identifies and highlights the most imminent threat location on the operator’s display, enabling rapid recognition and responses to potential collisions.
Sensor Fusion Technology
VIA improved Time-To-Collision (TTC) calculations allow vehicle operators to respond safely by reducing unnecessary alerts. When a vehicle is reversing or a pedestrian is detected behind it, external alerts notify nearby on-ground personnel, while internal alerts keep operators informed. These alerts only trigger when necessary, minimizing alert fatigue. A dual alert system ensures that both operators and on-ground personnel are warned, improving overall safety. Customizable zones and alerts can be tailored to specific vehicles, industries, and hazard detection needs, making the system adaptable to diverse environments.
Operational Scalability in Harsh Environments
The safety system is designed to be robust and adaptable, with sensors that automatically adjust to maintain optimal performance and safety in any weather conditions.
Flexible and configurable features allow detection zones and alert types to be tailored to specific vehicle types, ensuring the system is suitable for a wide range of applications.
Future-proof, with periodic AI-driven updates that continually improve its reliability and effectiveness, ensuring long-term safety and operational efficiency.
Award-Winning Collision Avoidance System
Near-Miss Detection and Reporting Made Easy
It’s important for safety directors to apply accidents preventative measures and be prepared to conduct investigations in case of unforeseen accidents. The vSenseTM camera and radar capture close calls and record video proof.
The system detected a threat from a white van’s trajectory and Time-To-Collision (TTC), triggering an audio alert to warn the operator.
The vCareTM Platform Cloud-Based Service enables safety directors to analyze potential hazards, investigating false positives in alerts to improve safety protocols.
Reduce Equipment Downtimes
Contractors frequently encounter project delays due to vehicle accidents. The VIA Safety Solution for Heavy Equipment can effectively minimize equipment downtimes by preventing accidents through high accuracy detection of pedestrians, objects, and vehicles. By safeguarding against potential accidents, you can increase efficiency and ensure project success.

What Is Your Cost of Inaction?
Accidents, breakdowns, and worker dissatisfaction come with significant financial consequences. In 2022 alone, work-related injuries cost U.S. businesses $167 billion in lost productivity, medical expenses, and uninsured costs. According to the National Safety Council, a single medically consulted injury costs an average of $40,000—highlighting the need for effective safety solutions.
With proactive measures like VIA Safety Solution for Heavy Equipment, companies can reduce these costs by preventing accidents and minimizing downtime. Continuous Over-The-Air (OTA) updates keep the system current without frequent replacements, maximizing long-term ROI.
