Vehicle Safety Technology
Providing drivers with the necessary tools to keep themselves, their vehicles, and others on the road safe.
Vehicle safety technology can help reduce the number of accidents across your fleet, and when paired with telematics data can improve fleet-wide driving behaviour, creating safer roads for all.
Safety technology will help your fleet satisfy important safety schemes such as the Direct Vision Standard, FORS and CLOCS. Our cameras give your drivers a clear view around their vehicles, which helps them see vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists when they navigate roads and left-hand junctions, lowering the risk of collisions and accidents. The technology is especially important for fleets who operate in crowded city centres and other busy areas such as construction sites, where the risk of collisions is even higher.
Vehicle Cameras
Vehicle CCTV increases driver vision around vehicles and eliminates dangerous blind spots, helping your drivers navigate roads safely and lowering the risk of accidents. Footage is recorded to DVRs which have integrated tracking and telematics for an all-in-one Video Telematics solution.
Reversing Cameras
Provides an unobstructed rear view, giving drivers better visibility when reversing.
In-Cab Cameras
Ideal for any type of vehicle, these cameras are fitted internally, usually for in-cab monitoring.
Driver Monitoring Cameras
Using AI technology this driver camera, intelligently 'sees' the driver and alerts to distractions
Human Detection Cameras
Using AI technology to intelligently detect when cyclists and pedestrians are in a danger zone around the vehicle.
VUE360
A new generation of camera system that uses AI technology to stitch together images from four cameras stationed around the vehicle
Proximity Sensors
Proximity sensors detect obstacles around a vehicle and alert your drivers when they get too close to another object (such as another vehicle or pedestrian) when they turn left or right, or change lanes. This ensures that drivers are always alerted before they collide with another object, so they can take action and stop the collision.
VUEscan
Reliable driving aid featuring six ultrasonic sensors to help detect any obstacles around a vehicle.
VUEscan-rear
Reversing aid made up of four sensors fitted onto the rear of the vehicle, linked to audible alarms or cameras.
Alarms
Vehicle alarms alert everyone in the vicinity when a vehicle is turning left or reversing, which ensures that pedestrians and cyclists stay clear of your vehicles and helps avoid dangerous accidents.
Left Turn Alarm
Alerts pedestrians and cyclists when a vehicle is turning left. Invaluable for large vehicles.
Reversing Alarm
Emits a loud noise to alert anyone or anything behind that the vehicle is reversing.

Total Produce
“VUE’s Video Telematics has been instrumental in reducing our accident rates and claims.”
Kevin Whiteman, Group Transport Manager
Read how the Total Produce fleet reduced accident rates by 10% in just one year using a combination of VUE’s safety technology and internal procedures committed to improve fleet safety.

What is Direct Vision Standard?
The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) objectively measures how much an HGV driver can see through their cab windows. It uses a star rating to grade HGVs from zero (lowest) to five (highest). Drivers in a zero-star vehicle will have poor direct vision, whereas drivers in a five-star vehicle will have excellent direct vision and will be able to see pedestrians and cyclists who are directly next to the cab side of their vehicles.
All HGVs over 12 tonnes now require a DVS safety permit to travel through the Greater London area. Currently, HGVs require a minimum of one star to get a DVS safety permit, but this will be raised to three stars in 2024. Zero-star vehicles require a ‘Safe System’ outlined by the DVS to be granted a safety permit. The DVS ‘Safe System’ is essentially the same as the Vehicle Safety Equipment requirements S6 (see page 51) from the FORS Silver accreditation.
VUE provides DVS ‘Safe Systems’ for zero-star vehicles, and also provides the safety equipment needed for a FORS Silver accreditation. Please get in touch if you have any new vehicles in your fleet which require a DVS ‘Safe System’.
In 2024, all zero to two star rated vehicles will require a ‘Progressive Safe System’ to get a DVS safety permit, so get in touch with us when the time comes and we’d be happy to help.
