The current prototype already shows great promise. It has shown to be functional, effective, and reliable. This model is detachable, allowing the driver to change position of the camera to any desired location.
What Does It Look Like?
Features
“This model is detachable, allowing the driver to change position of the camera to any desired location. The camera has a battery pack that is multi use and rechargeable. The battery has ports for USB devices, meaning the battery has the ability to charge anything within reason via USB such as a cell phone or tablet. The camera system requires no installation because of its two main assets. Our industrial strength suction cup mount and the multifunction battery pack.”
Why Do I Want This?
“The purpose of a blind spot camera system for backing is help truck drivers to save lives, money, and time. Anytime a commercial truck driver backs their tractor trailer there’s always at least one blind spot. This of course is directly behind the trailer. Others include the left and right side of the trailer. This is all dependent upon the angle of the tractor trailer.The average size of a tractor trailer(van trailer) is 72 feet long. Backing such massive equipment requires 100% attention and good visibility. Pedestrians can be unpredictable and one of the main reasons backing accidents occur are because drivers misjudge the actions of pedestrians. Others reasons include failing to check around the entire vehicle and failing to use a spotter. These all can be resolved by using the reliable and consistent Blind Side View, camera system.”
How It Works Step-By-Step
“1) After a driver has set up for a backing maneuver and placed the parking break, they would first activate the display monitor by pressing its power button. 2) The driver would activate the camera by pressing the power button. 3) The driver would get out of his or her truck to do a full walk around of the vehicle to survey the surrounding area, and in the process of doing this would mount the camera to their desired location on the trailer. 4) The driver would then get back inside of their tractor and perform the backing maneuver. 5) Once complete, the driver would power off the display monitor, get out of their tractor, retrieve the camera, and power off the battery. 6) Return to the tractor and store Blind Side View in its secure case.”
