Direct Vision Standard (DVS) Solutions for Enhanced Fleet Safety
As road safety regulations evolve, it’s crucial to ensure your fleet meets the latest standards. CMS’s Direct Vision Standard (DVS) Solution is designed to help operators comply with the Transport for London (TfL) DVS regulations, enhancing vehicle safety and reducing the risks posed to vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians. With a fully integrated system, our solution not only ensures compliance but also promotes safer driving practices and improved fleet performance.
What is the Direct Vision Standard?
The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) is a regulation introduced by TfL to improve road safety for vulnerable road users in London. It focuses on the driver’s direct field of vision from the cab, requiring fleet operators to meet specific safety standards for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) over 12 tonnes.
To legally operate within Greater London, HGVs must meet DVS requirements and obtain a HGV Safety Permit. Vehicles not meeting the standard must be equipped with safety features to mitigate the risks of blind spots.
Our DVS solution includes a comprehensive package designed to improve your fleet’s compliance, safety, and efficiency. It integrates internal and external alarms and AI camera systems to ensure maximum visibility and provide drivers with real-time alerts of vulnerable road users.
Key Features:
- Pedestrian Detection: Detects nearby cyclists, pedestrians, and other vulnerable road users using AI, alerting drivers to their presence in real-time, especially in blind spots.
- Audio Warnings: External audio alerts warn vulnerable road users when a vehicle is turning, enhancing safety in urban environments.
- 360-Degree Camera Systems: Our multi-camera systems offer a complete view around the vehicle, allowing drivers to see what’s happening in real time, including blind spots, enhancing both safety and situational awareness.
- Driver Alerts: Real-time alerts inside the cab keep drivers informed about potential hazards, helping them take preventative actions quickly.
- Crash Reconstruction: Our DVS system integrates with CMS’s telematics and video recording technology, allowing for comprehensive crash reconstruction in the event of an incident. This feature includes GPS tracking, video footage, and Google Maps integration to provide a full overview of any accidents.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Fleet managers can access live and historic video footage via our online portal or mobile app, ensuring complete visibility into fleet performance and compliance.
Benefits:
- Comply with DVS Regulations: Ensure your fleet meets TfL’s requirements and obtains the necessary HGV Safety Permit to operate legally in London.
- Improve Fleet Safety: With better visibility, real-time alerts, and external audio warnings, drivers are more aware of vulnerable road users, significantly reducing the likelihood of accidents.
- Reduce Insurance Premiums: Enhanced safety measures can lead to lower accident rates, potentially reducing insurance costs and liability.
- Boost Driver Confidence: Providing drivers with the tools and visibility they need helps them feel more secure on the road, leading to better performance and safer driving habits.
- Comprehensive Fleet Monitoring: Real-time access to footage and alerts allows fleet managers to proactively monitor vehicle safety and take corrective actions where necessary.
