August Product of the Month – DVS Progressive Safe System (PSS)
It’s a new month which means we have a new Vision Techniques Product of the Month…
In August we are highlighting our DVS Progressive Safe System (PSS) mandated for installation by fleet operators for HGVs over 12 tonnes in Greater London from October 28, ensuring legal travel and operation.
The enhanced DVS Progressive Safe System retains the core objectives of the current DVS while also introducing increased intelligence.
The primary aim of the system is to enhance driver visibility, particularly on the nearside of the vehicle, by eradicating blind spots.
The DVS Progressive Safe System (PSS) includes the VT Turnaware PDS, VT MOIS PDS, VT Turnalarm and the VT ‘Pedestrian Detected’ In-Cab Alarm.
VT Turnaware PDS
VT Turnaware PDS is a blind spot camera system that uses sophisticated video AI analytics to detect Vulnerable Road Users (VRU’s) moving towards the vehicle and will warn the driver of their approach.
VT MOIS PDS
VT MOIS PDS is a blind spot camera system that uses sophisticated video AI analytics to detect Vulnerable Road Users (VRU’s) who may be in front of the vehicle when the system detects the vehicle is about to move off.
VT Turnalarm
VT Turnalarm warns Vulnerable Road Users (VRU’s) of the vehicle’s intentions when conducting a turning manoeuvre.
DVS Progressive Safe System (PSS) features and benefits:
Direct Vision Standard Star Rating
Click GET YOUR DVS STAR RATING – fill out the form and we’ll do the rest
If your vehicle does not meet the DVS star rating or is not rated at all, you will need to meet the ‘Safe System’ requirements to be granted a permit.
Under the scheme proposals, it would be unlawful to:
- Operate an HGV more than 12 tonnes GVW in Greater London without a permit
- Breach Safe System permit conditions
From 28 October 2024, if you drive a HGV within London without a valid permit you may receive a penalty charge notice (PCN) of up to £550 (reduced to £275 if paid within 14 days) with a driver receiving a £130 fine.
There is a grace period that can be applied for but evidence will need to be provided showing you have installation works arranged to fit the PSS but that this is scheduled for after October 28.
The grace period is up to May 4, 2025 – an extension of the original three months.
