Lane Change Assist and VRU Warning Solution
Commercial on-road safety issues have gained international recognition as bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians continue to be involved in collisions with turning trucks and buses. Focusing on the growing awareness for the need of vulnerable road user (VRU) protections and on-road driver safety, Stoneridge-Orlaco and Sensata have come together to launch Digital SideEye, an advanced side object detection solution for the commercial vehicle market. This system consists of Sensata’s PreView Side Defender®II and Stoneridge-Orlaco’s high-resolution digital camera monitor system.
