Brigade Electronics BACKSCAN range of parking sensors are suitable for most vehicle types including cars, vans, trucks, buses, coaches, mobile plant and refuse vehicles. Using proven ultrasonic technology BACKSCAN parking sensors inform the driver of the distance between the vehicle and any obstacle at the rear. As soon as the reverse gear is engaged. The parking sensors start scanning the rear of the vehicle and gives a 3 stage audible and visual warning to the driver. Brigade's parking sensors incorporate dynamic scanning memory (DSM) that prevents false alarms from tow bars, rear mounted tyres and any auxiliary equipment that intrudes in the parking sensors detections zone.

4. How to reduce the danger of the blind spot DOBLI ® Blind Spot Mirror

- A tool for safe traffic The nearside blind spot is something every lorry or bus driver has to live with. However alert a driver may be, there is always the risk that someone or something will be overlooked. Even with a so-called panorama mirror it is easy to lose sight of cyclists and pedestrians close to the vehicle. The DOBLI® blind spot mirror (invented in Holland, where the name stands for the two words that mean blind spot) shows the area not covered by a "panorama" mirror. With a DOBLI® there is no blind spot, so the risk of accidents is greatly reduced.
