Truck Insurance Introduction

The Trucking industry is an essential element of the national economy. For this reason, a high level of research goes into developing new technologies for accident prevention. In the past, injury prevention, in general, harm reduction, if an accident took place. Today, developing intelligent systems for safe on the road.

The next generation of stability control

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is an integral part of road safety. ESC, the system applies selective braking to one or more wheels when the truck begins to lose control. ESC II is currently being developed for further reducing the loss of vehicle control. This is due to a combination of light steering input, as well as gas and control the brakes. Tests performed for elements of these mechanisms of control wheel rear Multi-Link active suspension systems.

Pre-Collision system

Pre-Collision-systems have been installed in several of the more expensive models of cars and can be adapted for use in trucks. If a collision is imminent, the sense of approaching cars and other obstacles and enable preventive measures to try to stop or minimize the collision and the protection of drivers. Measures that may be full activation of brakes and activation of security features. Even some systems with video cameras, the second pair of eyes for the driver.

Adaptive Cruise Control

In addition to speed, the radar system used for maintaining a travel safety distances between vehicles. As the truck approaches another vehicle, the brakes and gas are adjusted accordingly.

Lane Departure Warning

Cameras are installed in trucks to identify the gangs or roads means margins. If the truck began to cross these lines, a carillon of light and alarm activated. During the examination, this system was very effective on highways drowsy driver warning, which do not pay on the street.

Brake Assist

It is a mechanism that measures the pressure on the brakes. If a hard drive rapid thrust is applied, as if a driver attempts collision to another, the maximum braking increases adding more braking power.

Blind Spot Detection

This system uses cameras to monitor blind spots of a truck. If the driver is trying to change streets, while the vehicle in the truck blind spots, a warning to the driver.

Night Vision

Infrared technology can be applied for a capacity of driver visibility at night. Drivers have reported many night vision systems of confusion, but to develop better systems.
