Promoting Road Sweeper Safety to Prevent Reversing Accidents Every day, road sweepers play an essential role in maintaining the cleanliness and order of our towns and cities. Yet, as they go about their tasks, they often operate in a dangerous environment where the risk of accidents, particularly reversing accidents, looms large. Recent incidents involving reversing road accidents resulting in fatalities have highlighted a critical issue that demands urgent attention – the safety of road sweepers and those around them. Being experts in radar technology for over 35 years, we were recently requested by police for our help in conducting their investigations into an incident with a road sweeper vehicle and wanted to share our knowledge into preventing future tragedies from happening. Our NEW Banksman Auto Braking 77ghz Radar is the perfect system for the sweeper industry. This system takes safety to the next level in not just warning about dangers but also completely removing the risk of collision accidents. If the radar detects something in its view, the system will give the driver an audible and visual warning, however if the driver does not react to the alarms the system will automatically apply the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a safe and controlled stop. Don't just take our word for it.... Cliff Brown, Assistant Transport Manager at Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council said “The new Banksman Auto Braking 77ghz Radar is far superior than any other systems we have had previously. As a local authority, we have a responsibility for creating a safe environment for our people to work in and making our vehicles are the safest they can be".
