GLOBAL LIVE CYCLE SCANNER READY TO RETRO-FIT ON HGVS TO HELP PROMOTE SAFETY FOR CYCLISTS
• HGV fleets offered option to test Cycle Scanner on London based HGVs
• Global Live Cycle Scanner can be retro fitted to a range of HGVs
• The complete system costs just £899 per vehicle, excluding installation
Cobra UK has responded to claims that gadgets fitted to trucks to help prevent cyclist accidents rarely get past the testing stage by highlighting its Global Live Cycle Scanner is now available to retro fit on a range of HGVs.
The experts in vehicle security and surveillance are now looking for further HGV fleets to test the system in the London area as it looks to add further functionality to its Cycle Scanner product.
Cycle Scanner was specifically developed in response to the growing issue of cyclist safety, particularly in the London area, and uses the latest GPS and live video CCTV technology.
The system costs just £899 per vehicle including the scanner, six sensors, live mobile CCTV system, camera and web portal.
"We identified the cyclist safety issue very early on and developed the system in just a matter of months," said Andrew Smith, managing director of Cobra UK, parent company to Global Live.
"It allows HGV operators to retro fit their vehicles with a reliable system that gives drivers a visual and audible alert to help avoid accidents, bringing the truck of the future to the streets of today" he added.
Cycle Scanner features a scanner and six sensors along the nearside of a vehicle to detect a cyclist, and a live video camera to see exactly what is happening around the vehicle. If a cyclist enters the nearside of the vehicle, the Global Live Cycle Scanner warns both the driver in the cab and the operator back at base with automatic alerts in order to prevent any potential accidents.
The Cycle Scanner also provides live images and a recording of every journey, providing instantly available evidence in the event of an incident along with GPS location to show the vehicle journey and location.
