What is a truck blind spot warning system?
The truck blind spot warning system (BDS) is a safety assistance system designed specifically for large trucks to detect objects in the driver's blind spot, especially other vehicles. Due to the large size of trucks, it is difficult for drivers to fully grasp the surrounding environment, especially the blind spots on the sides and rear. Therefore, the side blind spot warning system uses sensors, radars, cameras and other equipment to monitor the blind spots around the vehicle in real time. Once other vehicles or obstacles are approaching, the system will alert the driver through sound or visual warnings to avoid traffic accidents caused by blind spots. Working principle of the truck side blind spot warning system Sensors and radars: The side blind spot warning system is usually installed near the rearview mirrors on both sides of the vehicle, using ultrasonic sensors, radars or laser radars (LiDAR) to detect surrounding objects...

What is the Truck Progressive Safety System?
Due to the size, weight and operating characteristics of trucks, they face higher safety risks in road traffic. In order to improve the safety of trucks and reduce the occurrence of accidents, the Progressive Safety System came into being. The Progressive Safety System is a comprehensive technology that gradually enhances safety protection through multiple stages and levels. Its main purpose is to improve the active and passive safety capabilities of trucks through intelligent and automated means. The Progressive Safety System not only focuses on the driver's behavior, but also integrates the interaction between the vehicle and the environment, with multi-level safety protection measures as the core. This article will combine the components of the system to explore in depth why trucks need to install a progressive safety system and analyze its importance in practical applications. Components of the Progressive Safety System Progressive Safety...

What is the difference between reverse camera and 360 degree camera?
Modern cars are equipped with many advanced technologies to improve driver safety and convenience, especially when parking and reversing. Reversing cameras and 360-degree imaging systems are two key technologies. Although they both help drivers navigate tight spaces and avoid obstacles, they offer different functions, benefits, and applications. Next, let's take a look at the differences between reversing cameras and 360-degree imaging systems, especially the AVM 360-degree surround view system. Reversing cameras (or backup cameras) are a common and important safety feature in modern vehicles. They are usually installed at the rear of the vehicle and provide a wide-angle view of the area behind the vehicle, which is displayed on a screen inside the vehicle. Its main purpose is to reduce blind spots and prevent collisions when reversing. Reversing cameras are particularly useful when parking, helping drivers avoid hitting pedestrians,...

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) is a technology integrated into cars to help car owners improve driving safety and comfort. It includes adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision warning, blind spot monitoring and other functions, which can provide drivers with alerts or automatic control to prevent accidents and enhance the driving experience. The adaptive cruise control system monitors the distance to the vehicle in front through the radar or camera on the front of the vehicle to automatically adjust the speed to maintain the preset distance, which can ensure that the vehicle always maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front and reduce the occurrence of rear-end collisions. The lane keeping assist system detects lane markings through cameras on both sides of the vehicle. When the vehicle deviates from the lane, the system issues a warning or slightly adjusts the steering wheel. Helps keep the vehicle in the center of the lane to prevent deviation. The collision warning system uses radar and camera...
