SAFETY FEATURE
CAMERAS HELP DRIVERS ‘SEE’ BLIND SPOTS S
entinel has supplied and installed its reversing cameras and side-scan detection systems to all of the larger vehicles within Reynolds’ ever-growing fleet to offer complete protection for its drivers. Reynolds’ broad customer base includes leading operators in the foodservice industry including Pizza Express, Pret a Manger and Carluccio’s. “As a company we made the decision to
install Sentinel’s reversing and side-scan camera systems to all vehicles over 12 tonnes as part of our commitment to maintaining top health and safety standards,” comments transport manager Steve White. “With many of our vehicles delivering to customers within inner London we feel that it is extremely important to take all possible measures to improve their safety according to the latest TfL regulations. “Sentinel’s products were recommended to us by FORS for being good quality and reliable safety systems. In turn, I would recommend them to other companies wishing to improve the safety of their fleets. Since installing the systems we have received great feedback from our drivers and feel that both their safety and driving awareness has improved.” Reynolds flexible fleet of over 252
mixed-weight vehicles operates daily and is exposed to challenging driving conditions including manoeuvring safely in pedestrianised and congested areas with potentially poor visibility of the vehicle’s surroundings. In adopting Sentinel’s reversing
cameras and side-scan detection systems Reynolds has reduced the likelihood of accidents by improving awareness of driving conditions and giving drivers improved confidence to operate safely on a day-to-day basis. The cameras offer a better rear-view to ensure drivers are fully aware of potential hazards when reversing. Linked to an in-cab mobile monitor drivers can detect passing pedestrians, cyclists or other obstructions, enabling them to take caution and ultimately prevent an accident and damage to the vehicle or

third-party property. Sentinel installed its side-scan camera detection system to work alongside the reversing cameras. This system is designed to detect vulnerable road users within the vehicle’s blind spot. A large vehicle turning left is a considerable threat for cyclists in particular as they are unaware of the vehicles intentions and cannot be seen by the driver. Linked to the in-cab monitor the side-scan cameras detect the cyclists, giving drivers the time to wait for the hazard to clear before pulling away. The system can be connected to Sentinel’s Bike Hotspot system to offer ultimate protection for cyclists and other vulnerable road users. The two camera systems linked to the
in-cab monitor can provide extra confidence for fleet operators as they can record and play back crucial evidence of any accidents or theft incidents. With a 1 Terabyte hard drive the unit will record for over 30 days and can be extracted and easily reviewed by staff to provide untampered evidence in the event of an accident or a fraudulent insurance claim.
