www.truckandtrack.com Winter 2024/25 Truck and Track 57 SAFETY & SECURITY MOIS (Moving Off Information System) To meet the MOIS requirement, Vision UK recommends that vehicles are fitted with the company’s MOIS front camera and VRUD recognition provided by the DVR. This not only detects pedestrians within the detection zone but also warns the driver of VRUs who are in the path of the vehicle when it pulls off. BSIS (Blind Spot Information System) To comply with the stringent BSIS requirements, Vision UK recommends using the company’s dedicated VRUD camera in conjunction with the DVR VRUD. This camera is faster responding and has a longer detecting distance than the DVR which is necessary to ensure the system reliably meets the BSIS Technical Requirements. On articulated vehicles, the dedicated VRUD camera will also detect VRUs over the whole length of the trailer. Recognising the forthcoming PSS requirements, Vision UK offers a choice of proven technologies. The company’s preferred solution is to use its latest generation DVRs with integral Vulnerable Road User Detection (VRUD) supplemented by its dedicated VRUD cameras. In welcoming the implementation of PSS, Danny Warren, Vision UK’s Head of Sales and Customer relations, says, “As a company, we are widely recognised for introducing state-ofthe-art technologies to improve safety for all road users and pedestrians. Our overriding objective is to ensure that drivers, cyclists and pedestrians – particularly vulnerable road users – can go about their business in complete safety.” Vision UK offers a variety of options to meet the PSS requirements and offers upgrades on existing kits, as well as brand new systems with its newly-launched DVR’s! Danny says, “We are encouraging our new and existing customers to have liveview DVRs in their vehicles. The benefits of the liveview platform are that you can remotely dial in to your vehicle anywhere and view live footage / track a vehicle / download footage off your PC without needing the recording device out of the vehicle - and much more!” Direct Vision Standard and HGV Safety Permit Scheme The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and HGV Safety Permit Scheme for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) require operators of lorries over 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight to obtain a safety permit before entering and operating in most of Greater London. Otherwise, you may receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). Enforcement and penalties Drivers of HGVs within most of Greater London without a valid permit, will receive a penalty charge (PCN) of up to £550 (reduced to £275 if paid within 14 days). A failure to have a permit in place will result in a £550 per day fine for the haulier for non-compliance and a fine of £130 for the driver of the vehicle. It is something that haulage companies have to take very seriously. It is expected that other local authorities throughout the UK will follow suit in the future. Vision UK’s brand new website includes comprehensive details of the company’s latest offerings. Danny says, “I would encourage existing and potential customers to take a look at our new website which gives details of PSS Systems for Construction Vehicles, FORS Silver PSS System upgrades and VRUD-140V Blind Spot Pedestrian Cameras. The website also features details of Remote Access Solutions DVRs that can be accessed remotely using a Client Programme installed on a user’s local computer via a Web Portal or Smart Phone.” www.vision-uk.co.uk
