Rear View Safety (RVS) says its new RVS-125 SenseStat Wireless Object Detection Sensor System is unique in that it provides active and passive safety solutions.
Active safety technology includes backup camera systems an operator must look at while reversing. Passive tech, like most proximity sensor systems, alerts drivers audibly so they are aware of obstacles without taking their eyes off the road.
SenseStat’s proprietary technology uses a scanning algorithm that reads each of the four separate sensors, displaying the actual distance to the one that is closest to the object, as well as corresponding aural alerts, RVS said.
“The advantage of most sensor systems on their own is that the driver does not need to adjust his driving,” said Dylan Lew, dealer director at RVS. “Without moving his head, the audio draws his attention to hazards behind him. The SenseStat adds the benefit of visual proximity being displayed as well.
“Additionally, if operators would want to combine the sensor system with a camera so that they can ‘see’ what the sensors are seeing, the RVS-125 can work harmoniously with backup camera systems.”
