The Safe Line - heavy-duty truck is turning



Today’s statistics shows that the number of accidents happened due to the difference of radius between inner wheels and the outer wheels, when a heavy-duty truck is turning. To help negotiate the turn, an infrared ray system with sensors, called the Safety Line, is installed on both sides of the truck. This line can detect the status of the turn and alerts pedestrians or other vehicles in the danger zone of the turn. 
The sensors also alert the truck driver and the people who are too close to the truck.
