Are you concerned about keeping your drivers, your fleet and those around your vehicle safe? Then you should be looking for a pedestrian collision prevention alert system. This FAQ will provide all answers on a pedestrian collision prevention system and how you can implement it in your fleet.

1. What is a pedestrian collision prevention system?

A pedestrian collision prevention system is a type of technology that picks up people on foot in the way of your vehicle while it's moving. It’ll send an instant alert to the driver so they can be aware of the situation and hopefully react in time.

2. How does the system distinguish a person from a pole or a box?

AI systems will be able to distinguish a person from an inanimate object with a mixture of cameras, sensors and machine learning algorithms. From this it’ll be able to pick up distinct differences that a human would possess over a pole or box and then provide the driver with the correct alert.

3. Can a fleet camera system see "around" corners?

Yes, but only the advanced camera systems will be able to do this. By strategically placing exterior cameras, and with their wide lens capabilities, they’ll easily be able to give your drivers a clearer view of the road around them.

4. How does the system handle "Blind Spots"?

Wide-angled and advanced camera systems that are placed strategically around your vehicle will give your driver eyes on their normal blind spots. This keeps everyone in and out of your vehicles safe.

5. What is the best way to ensure pedestrian safety in your fleet?

The best way to ensure pedestrian safety in your fleet is by installing the right technology in all of your vehicles. You’ll want a system that not only alerts your drivers to pedestrians in the road, but also one that trains your drivers toward safer driving habits.

6. Can I use alert data for driver coaching?

Yes, you can use alert data for driver coaching. The alert data will let you know if your drivers are speeding, distracted, taking harsh corners or braking harshly, all of which affect the safety of those around the vehicle and the longevity of your vehicles. With this data you’ll be able to effectively coach your drivers on their dangerous driving habits and help them.

7. What is "geofencing" in pedestrian safety?

Fleet managers can set up geofences around “high pedestrian” zones, like schools, taxi ranks, hospitals and malls. They can then set up alerts for the drivers so they’re also notified as soon as they’re about to enter these zones, so they can reduce speed.

8. Can the system detect cyclists and scooters?

Thanks to the AI cameras, sensors and machine learning algorithms, these systems can detect cyclists and scooters, the same way they can differentiate between a person and an inanimate object.
