Fleetclear makes DVS compliance a piece of PSS

Fleet solutions provider, Fleetclear is running a social media campaign aimed at HGV fleet operators in London highlighting how easy it is to ensure their fleets are compliant with the new DVS regulations coming into force on 28 October...

Fleetclear were inspired to launch the campaign, which features tongue in cheek headlines like ‘Don’t PSS away your profits’ and ‘When it comes to safety, we don’t PSS around’ following a member survey by the Road Haulage Association (RHA) about the forthcoming DVS regulations. The results of the survey showed that 57% of respondents weren’t confident of being able to install compliant equipment in time. 

There have been reports of equipment availability being a contributing factor to delays in getting fleet operators prepared. However, in response Fleetclear say they have a simple and hassle-free DVS compliance solution, that is ready to go. 

The Fleetclear Progressive Safe System (PSS) is a simple, fully integrated and stand-alone solution that requires no existing equipment. Enhanced with AI-based camera detection technology, the system comprises both a Blind Spot Information System (BSIS) and a Moving Off Information System (MOIS) for full DVS compliance.

Chris Waller, Chief Technical Officer, Fleetclear explains: “We have simplified the compliance process for fleet operators, and we have PSS systems ready to install for customers. All operators need to do is call us and book in any vehicles that are 12t plus and 0,1 or 2 star rated. We’ll take care of the rest.”

Non-compliance of the new regulations could lead to hefty fines – up to £550 per operator and £150 per driver, per vehicle, per day. 

Fleetclear has earned a reputation for designing and manufacturing market leading and innovative vehicle safety systems and software that stand the test of time.   An AI control module uses 2 HD cameras for dynamic detection and driver alerts to prevent collisions. One AI camera provides 

complete coverage down the nearside of the vehicle, whilst avoiding road furniture and stationary traffic. This works in conjunction with a second front mounted Moving Off Information System (MOIS) camera to detect and alert the driver to the presence of a vulnerable road users within the front blind spot. The deployment of the PSS system can be monitored, along with other safety technology, video, tracking and telematics via our web-based platform, 30.8 Connect.
