As part of expanding VUE’s Human Form Recognition (HFR) System into the construction market, VUE undertook comprehensive testing presented by MIRA, following set out test procedures. MIRA certification allows the system to be verified in its performance, raising the standard and emphasising its effectiveness in the construction industry which makes it a safer environment to work in.

The Human Form Recognition (HFR) system uses AI technology that detects human presence in its surroundings, notifying the driver that someone is in the vicinity of the vehicle through a combination of visual and audio alerts, depending on the detection conditions.

To ensure the highest standards of reliability and performance, a comprehensive testing procedure was undertaken. The rigorous process included 80 controlled tests across a variety of challenging surfaces such as sand, soil, concrete, tarmac and aluminium trackway, reflecting real life conditions that drivers and fleet operators face daily and enabling the evaluation of the systems performance under various conditions

In addition to these core evaluations, the system was further assessed under a wide range of scenarios: detecting humans in different positions and movements whether standing, walking, kneeling, or even partially obscured and while wearing various types of clothing, from dark and light attire to high-visibility PPE. This was to ensure that the HFR system is versatile enough to identify human presence regardless of what individuals may be wearing or how they are positioned.

The HFR system achieved a 97.5% success rate, passing 78 out of 80 tests - demonstrating its reliability, adaptability, and robustness across multiple environments and scenarios. The technology proved its ability to perform consistently even in less-than-ideal conditions, highlighting its practical value in enhancing safety for drivers, pedestrians, and workers alike on construction sites.

The testing process was invaluable, not only in confirming the HFR system’s strengths but also in providing insights that will help VUE continue refining and improving the technology. This project represents a significant milestone for VUE as boundaries are pushed in certifying the products and technology that have aims to create safer working environments and ultimately stopping injuries from occurring and saving lives.

The potential of the HFR system is very promising in transforming worksite safety, reinforcing VUE’s commitment to setting high industry standards.
