Positives About HGV Auto Braking / Reversing Safety System CV Stop! The system is the only one in the world that applies the rear service brake, (not the Park Brake). If using the park brake in on or off with no graduation, we see this causing driver discomfort and also is damaging to the vehicles drive train components. Our system is the only radar based auto braking system using the new 77ghz standard in the UK – (new regulations come into effect from 2022, meaning any radar based automotive system fitted after this date must conform.)

Our system electronically pulses braking like EBS and can be programmed from soft too hard to suit all weights and applications. Enabling no risk of invalidating vehicle warranty. Also, communicating using CAN to detect vehicle speed the system will cut the throttle to idle milliseconds before the brakes are applied, again reducing hash braking resulting in engine stall and ensures the driver cannot power through the brake. Driver has a push button disable for a programmed time, this allows reversing into narrow roads / alleyways, the system button blinks during disable period to warn the driver brake function is in sleep mode. Most of all radar is a far superior component to ultra-Sonics, we have used sonics in the past but see nothing but problems once fitted with dirt, rain, snow plus unforeseen environmental changes causing many false triggers.

HGV Auto Braking Proximity Revering System Install On Trustseal Ltd Road Sweeper – Day 3 !

With the Auto Brake System now installed – We can carry out some formal testing.

With the reverse radar only (we can add forward & side sensors) the system is designed to review the rear of the vehicle, monitoring obstacles up to 1.5 metres away. An In Cab Warning Display for the driver alerts as the vehicle gets closer to any obstacles, with the brakes being automatically applied to stop the vehicle before IMPACT! (In this case a traffic cone). Also, the vehicle will be passing through obstacles left & right of the vehicle, this is test the accuracy of the radar and not to incorrectly apply the brakes.

Result – PASSED!

Final test & sign off in the next few days.

Emergency Braking In HGVs Approaching

From November 1 this year, EU legislation will mandate the fitment of Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) systems on most newly registered Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) over 7.5 tonnes.

Standard-fit AEB systems are currently available on nearly 11 per cent of new cars, and offered as an option on a further 18.5 per cent. According to Euro NCAP and ANCAP, the independent safety bodies for Europe and Australasia, AEB is already leading to a 38 per cent reduction in real-world rear-end crashes and proving to be the key to gaining the coveted NCAP 5 star safety rating.

Current AEB technology on some commercial vehicles exceeds the vehicle to vehicle avoidance performance of even the most advanced car systems, although cars are still capable of a much broader spectrum of avoidance scenarios including collisions with pedestrians and other vulnerable road users.

aide automotive market and promote the BackStop Auto Braking Reversing System, offered is a number of rear sensor hardware solutions, Back Stop can be retro fitted to all types of Heavy goods vehicles.

Radar, autosonic or touch sensitive bumpers can be installed with a auto braking feature to prevent vehicle or human injury!
