C.R. England, Salt Lake City, will to equip its fleet of more than 3,500 trucks with its Mobileye AWS-4000 safety technology system.
The camera-based safety features to be installed on each truck will include a lane departure warning system, a forward collision warning system, and a headway monitoring and warning system.
Mobileye AWS includes a smart camera located on the front windshield inside the vehicle and uses vision technologies to detect and measure the distance to vehicles and to lane markings, providing the driver with timely alerts.
The forward collision warning assists in preventing collisions with vehicles ahead by alerting drivers to both moving and stationary vehicles, while filtering cars in adjacent lanes posing no threat. The lane departure function monitors the vehicle position in the lane and alerts the driver to departures from a lane without using the appropriate turn signal.
Mobileye's headway monitoring function calculates the distance from the vehicle ahead, providing the driver with both numerical and color headway data.
