Protect Your People, Investments, and the Public

When you work in and around vehicles and equipment, safety should be everyone’s top priority. However, more and more incidents are taking place on our roadways and worksites. Drivers need to be equipped with the right tools to help them operate safely. They need to know what can’t be seen.

Once an incident happens, you can’t go back. With PreView Side Defender®II and PreView Sentry®, you’re protecting people, property, and your bottom line, with the most advanced side and rear object detection solutions on the planet.

Why RADAR Stands Above the Rest

  • RADAR sensors are not affected by vibrations of large vehicles and equipment
  • Ultrasonic sensors can be affected by the vibrations of heavy equipment

Mitigate Incidents in Urban Environments with Vulnerable Road User Awareness

Responding to worldwide demands to protect vulnerable road users, PreView Side Defender®II is the benchmark for side collision mitigation technology. Representing an evolution of advanced technology, this system adds Vulnerable Road User (VRU) awareness to the already successful blind spot lane change assist feature.

PreView® Side Defender®II is the most accurate and reliable urban turning assistance solution available worldwide.

PreView® Side Defender®II

Side Blind Zone Detection:

Urban Vulnerable Road User (VRU) Awareness

  • Developed for inner city areas to protect road users in blind spots
  • Visual and audible alerts on moving cars, motorcycles, and bicycles
  • Ignores stationary objects such as parked cars, street signs, etc.

Lane Change Assist

  • Designed to assist with lane change maneuvers
  • Visual and audible alerts on moving cars, motorcycles, and bicycles overtaking the vehicle
  • Ignores stationary guardrails, street signs, etc.

Maximize Safety and Reduce Struck-By Incidents

PreView Sentry® is the industry’s most flexible, accurate, and powerful active blind spot monitoring solution available. Sentry has a fully configurable detection zone, with the ability to detect objects from the face of the radar up to 30 meters (100 feet). The width of the detection zone is adjustable to fit almost any vehicle type to keep operators and jobsites safer. Sentry is an ideal solution for backing and short range forward requirements.
