Blind spot detection for Dump truck

Blind spot detection background

A dump truck is used for transporting materials (such as dirt, gravel, or demolition waste) for construction as well as coal. The same as other heavy-duty commercial vehicles, they may all face the same risk---blind spot.

Why the blind spot is dangerous? Generally, the vehicles in front of or right behind the driver are visible in the mirrors. when a car passes into an area where it is not visible in either the rear-view mirror or the side mirror, it is difficult for a driver to be aware that there is a car in close. At this time, when the driver changes lanes believing the lane next to them is empty, then the tragedy happened, it is too close to avoid the collision.

Almost all vehicles are with blind spots and the situation to dump trucks is even severe, since the large size and height make it very difficult for the driver to be able to see the full length of the vehicle. Eliminating the risk of blind spots for dump trucks is vital.

ICARVISIONS AI solution with Blind Spot Detection

Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, Icarvisions offers an AI solution with Blind Spot Detection to help dump trucks with safe driving. The Blind Spot Detection solution is based on the Mobile DVR with a built-in AI algorithm, once the dump truck and mobile DVR are on, the blind spot camera captures the pedestrian and vehicles in the blind spot area, it will trigger the Audio& Visual Alarm to emit a sound and flash alarm or voice prompt immediately, to warn pedestrian and vehicles to keep away of the dump truck.

ICARVISIONS launched 4 AI Mobile DVRs:

4ch IP67 MINI AI MDVR(JH0AN-HD)

4ch SD Card AI MDVR(JS2AN-HD)

4ch HDD AI MDVR(JH4AN-HD)

8ch HDD AI MDVR(JH8AN-HD)

all support the Blind Spot Detection.

The blind spot cameras and Audio& Visual Alarm have to work together with BSD built-in AI mobile DVR.

Model: JA-MC923

Dual lens for front and rear, 1080P AHD camera; 2.1mm lens + 2.1mm lens; Support 12V DC ±10%.

Installation site: Side mirrors

Mounting height: 2.0 meters ~2.5 meters

It must work with the Mobile DVR with such a BSD algorithm module.

The Audio& Visual Alarm with illumination (IP66)

It must work with the BSD cameras.

(IP66, RS485,12V, 5PIN Around aviation G25 connector)

By the AI algorithm, some specific area near the dump truck is determined as a blind spot area, once the pedestrian and vehicles enter that area, the Audio& Visual Alarm will emit a sound and flash alarm or voice prompt immediately.

Blind Spot Detection (BSD) Demonstration

As soon as the alarm is triggered, except for the Audio& Visual Alarm sending out an alarm, the IVMS platform will also generate the BSD report.

Most vehicles are with at least one blind spot, for the dump truck or other heavy-duty commercial vehicles, multiple blind spot cameras may be needed. Let’s Icarvisions tailor the solutions for you.
