Heavy trucks are common freight vehicles. From raw materials to finished goods, trucks handle transportation at various scales. Because they typically carry heavy loads, have large dimensions, and contain many blind spots, they present increased traffic safety risks.
To improve heavy-truck safety, a gigabit 5G gateway can be used. Leveraging the gateway's data collection, wireless communication, device control, and edge computing capabilities, a multi-dimensional safety monitoring system can be built to help drivers operate more safely and reduce traffic risks.
Heavy Truck Safety Monitoring Scheme Using 5G/4G Gateways
1. Blind-spot Coverage
Large trucks commonly have driving blind spots. When changing lanes or turning, limited visibility can create safety hazards. Deploying side and rear cameras and centralizing video signal collection through the BMG5000 gateway allows display on the cab screen, helping drivers monitor the vehicle's surroundings and improving driving safety.
2. Driving Alert Warnings
When a truck is reversing or turning, the gateway can autonomously trigger the vehicle horn to play warning tones and flash LED warning lights to alert nearby pedestrians and vehicles to slow down or yield, reducing collision risks.
3. Real-time Trip Recording
Onboard cameras capture driving video that can be uploaded in real time over 5G/4G to the company's headquarters. Fleet operators can remotely access recorded footage to review vehicle status and improve logistics management.
4. Vehicle Positioning
The gateway's optional GPS function enables the vehicle to upload real-time location data to the company, helping ensure adherence to scheduled times and planned routes.
5. Emissions Monitoring
The gateway can connect to sensors to collect exhaust emission data, compare it with historical records, assess engine status, and support maintenance planning.
