Mobileye Shield + Collision Avoidance System
According to Englander , Rosco has worked closely with Mobileye in the refinement of the Shield + system ’ s parameters to ensure that , even in the densest urban environments , the system remains quiet , except in the circumstances where a significant risk occurs . Mobileye ’ s dedication to intelligent technology offers a world class system to support the needs of today ’ s drivers .
Digital Camera Monitoring System One of Rosco ’ s newest and most innovative technologies is their Digital Camera Monitoring System ( DCMS ), a tool that utilizes cameras in place of an exterior rear-view mirror system , providing increased digital viewing capabilities through multiple monitors on the inside of the vehicle . This highly reliable system adapts to different light conditions resulting in effective day and night views , as well as glare reduction . According to Senior National Sales Manager Matthew Eckert , the DCMS ’ small , compact exterior cameras not only provide drastically increased depth and width of vision , but also create better aerodynamics , helping to eliminate wind resistance and lower fuel costs , particularly for long distance commercial coaches . “ It ' s eye opening to see the difference in safety benefits that a system like this is going to provide to a commercial vehicle , especially in an urban environment , or even in a highway environment ,” Eckert said . “ The best attribute of technology is its unlimited ability to be enhanced for safety . If you can imagine it , you can do it . You just need to be able to think a little bit outside the box and we can start bringing those ideas to life , which is exciting .”
360 3D HD Surround Technologies Developed to reduce collisions and increase safety , Rosco ’ s Safe- T-Scope 360 3D HD surround camera systems provide a full range of coverage using multiple cameras and fusion imaging technology . Multiple camera images , either shown together or separately , provide 2D and 3D options of full 360 or partial views of the vehicle , reducing blind spots and displaying vulnerable road users in blind zones . The aerial surround system includes 192-degree cameras mounted towards the top on each side of the vehicle , one on the front , and one on the rear , and incorporates a high-definition monitor for the drivers to see views from the cameras ’ integrated images . “ With the 360 system , the driver gets an aerial view without any blind spots around the bus ,” Eckert explains . “ Any driver who ’ s driven a long vehicle will understand the value of having this type of technology .”
The 360 system provides blind spot coverage , triggering cameras on the corresponding side of the vehicle each time the turn signal is activated , and with 10-inch high-definition monitors , drivers have a clear view of surrounding blind zones . “ Automotive safety used to be about seatbelts and airbags , Today , collision avoidance is the next step in this arena .” said Mike Cacic , senior collision avoidance program manager . “ Instead of trying to protect people , let ' s just avoid the impact to begin with .”
