Reversing any goods vehicle is a test of a driver's experience and ability, often having to contend with obscured vision and limited space for
manoeuvring. As a result accidents can and do happen.
Now Groeneveld introduce the Greensight' Rear Obstacle Detector to help overcome this problem.
Using ultra-sonic sound, two sensors fitted to the rear of the vehicle determine the distance between the vehicle and any possible object or loading platform, dividing that space into three zones up to a total of three metres in length. This information is then fed back, depending on the type of vehicle, to either an illuminated cab mounted LED display or trailer mounted signal lamps, both of which are colour coded, indicating if an object has been detected and in which zone.
Greensight s activated when reverse gear is selected, has a built in testing function self cleaning sensors and provides greater safety whilst reversing
or manoeuvring, reducing damage and possibly insurance premiums.
