are among the most challenging in the world – busy, complex, and often dangerous,” says Natalia Noblet, president of Stoneridge’s Electronics Division. “With MirrorEye operators gain a new level of visibility and awareness, helping to improve both safety and productivity.” Stoneridge has also recently


launched the Orlaco Vision System Digital MultiView which it claims gives operators a whole new perspective on their surroundings. The system combines four


high-resolution EMOS II Ethernet cameras with a digital 10-inch ELED monitor featuring a built-in QuadView function, allowing up to four camera feeds to be viewed simultaneously. This real-time overview around the machine significantly enhances safety by improving situational awareness and helping operators make faster, more confident decisions, it says.


ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE As in many other aspects of modern life artificial intelligence is also making its presence felt in the safety camera sector. UK-headquartered Brigade


Electronics, a worldwide provider of safety devices and solutions for commercial vehicles and machinery, has developed the retrofit AI Human Form Recognition box. Brigade says its mission is to save lives, protect vulnerable

road users and assist drivers to manoeuvre safely by creating high-quality products that reduce the risk of collisions and eliminate vehicle blind spots. The new AI Human Form


Recognition box (AI HFR) helps in this by transforming existing vehicle camera systems into intelligent pedestrian detection solutions without the need to replace existing hardware. AI cameras have been proved


to have greatly enhanced safety benefits, Brigade says, but the cost of replacing entire systems across a fleet has been a major barrier to their adoption


The AI HFR is an adapter unit which bridges the gap between traditional camera technology and AI safety systems and enables users to upgrade existing analogue cameras or monitors with artificial intelligence detection. With the AI HFR Box Brigade


says users can achieve optimum safety at reduced expense with minimal installation time. The AI HFR Box is installed


between a vehicle’s camera and monitor and uses software to process video and identify the presence of vulnerable road users, triggering visual and audible notifications. It was developed specifically


for use on construction sites, and Brigade says it guarantees reliable performance whatever the terrain or weather conditions. The system is plug-and-play


and supports both CVBS and AHD signals, maintaining compatibility across a broad range of legacy and modern fleets. It has multiple camera input to support wider field coverage, suitable for larger vehicles or high-risk zones. The AI-enabled detection of VRUs, such as pedestrians and workers, ensures fast operator response to real-time threats, especially in urban areas or busy sites, the company explains. The use of a retro-fit solution


also reduces environmental impact by eliminating the need to replace monitors, cameras, or cables – thus reducing electronic waste. Minimal installation time and


no need for system reconfiguration mean vehicles can be upgraded without lengthy downtime, says Brigade, and the system can be used across a range of equipment – from cranes to trailers. “The AI HFR Box is a


unique solution which turns any commercial vehicle’s standard camera system into an intelligent human form recognition detection tool,” says Robert Timms, product manager at Brigade Electronics. “It’s a significant step forward in vehicle safety which is affordable, sustainable and efficient.”
