Mobile Awareness, a provider of transportation safety products, has introduced VisionStat Plus, a new system designed to prevent backing accidents

. VisionStat Plus is an integrated version of SenseStat Obstacle Detection Sensor System that connects directly with the wired VisionStat Camera System with no additional cabling required.

The system combines the SenseStat obstacle detection system with the VisionStat backing camera video monitor, giving the driver both audible and visual information. The system provides visual confirmation via a CCD camera with the distance and proximity from any of four sensor zones.

VisionStat, which comes with either a 5.6-inch or 7-inch color LCD monitor, is a rugged, easily installable video system.

"There are many advantages to utilizing active backing sensor technology with a reversing camera system," said Brandon Stotsenburg, vice president of sales and marketing at Mobile Awareness. "One of the most critical being when the driver is not viewing the video monitor, the audio from the sensor system can bring attention to an unforeseen object or individual behind their vehicle. Ultimately, this added driver awareness will reduce costs and backing accidents."
