SEE THROUGH RAIN, GRIME, AND DARKNESS

Sensor Fusion Technology combines radar and camera input to provide reliable detection even in low visibility.

AI-Powered Sensing

Our vSense™ technology uses a combination of AI-powered cameras and radar (Sensor Fusion) to accurately detect nearby pedestrians, vehicles, and other hazards in the surrounding area, and highlights the most imminent danger with an on-screen blue box. This provides fast alerts to operators, ground personnel, and fleet managers, boosting reaction time.

360° Vision

Combined feeds of ruggedized, industrial-grade cameras generate a seamless, real-time 360° bird's-eye view around the vehicle, eliminating blind spots and giving operators the visibility they need to work safely. This works even in dark or poor weather conditions where visibility is low. Our AI is industry-driven and constantly improving, redefining safety on the jobsite.

Custom Detection Zones

To reduce desensitization to warnings and alerts, detection zones are completely configurable and adaptable for all vehicle types and environmental scenarios, including triggers based on a vehicle's gear and direction. This proactive approach to alerts filters out needless distractions and helps operators focus attention where it matters most.

Boost Driver Reaction Time

On-screen Blue Box highlights imminent threats, reducing cognitive load and giving drivers more time to react to hazards.

Minimize Alert Fatigue

Intelligent hazard recognition uses vehicle gear and direction to eliminate unnecessary alerts, helping drivers focus on the hazards that matter.

vCare™ Safety Analytics

Every alert becomes fleet-wide insight. The vCare™ Safety Analytics platform records and stores alert footage for review, reports fleet operations and safety analytics, and runs a self-diagnosis check at ignition so crews know the system is working before each shift. Over-the-air updates keep reduce downtime and ensure fleets are up to date.
