A device to see around blind corners and provide a ‘top view’ aims to help drivers manoeuvre trucks and buses more safely.
Alpine’s Multi Camera technology is linked with a navigation database offering the ability to see all aspects of the vehicle and its surroundings, eliminating dangerous blind spots.
At blind intersections, for example approaching a t-junction, a front mounted camera shows the view to the left and right as well as straight ahead. This information is displayed on a screen in the cab.
For lane changing, cameras on the side of vehicle eliminate blind spots that have been a particular problem for left hand drive trucks in the UK.
A further innovation of the system is a top view where the cameras can be combined to provide, in real time, a plan view of the vehicle in its surroundings, and enables the driver to park or manoeuvre safely, seeing all four sides.
