About

DfTc - Department for Transport awarded a contract to Loughborough University Enterprise LTD for the assessment of technology related to Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) blind spot and moving off systems.

The work supports International Vehicle Standard's efforts at the United Nations, where five new regulations were developed to enhance Vulnerable Road User (VRU) safety around HGVs, including Regulation 151 on Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS) to detect cyclists and Regulation 159 on Moving Off Information Systems (MOIS).

These systems are designed to detect cyclists or VRUs alongside and in front of an HGV, respectively, who might otherwise be missed when the driver is checking using mirrors, camera monitor systems (CMS), or through direct vision.

The contract value is AUD 176,802.
