You walk your children to the bus stop and watch them get on. You trust their lives to the bus driver who watches over them like they were their own. What you can't control are blind spots around the bus where kids may be walking of stopped - it happens every day and many times ends in tragedy.
We created the Pedestrian Detection System (PDS) to protect your loved ones and reduce these incedents from happening. Using an array of cutting-edge sensors mounted along the undercarriage of a bus, the Pedestrian Detection System audibly and visually alerts drivers to the presence of objects in their blind spots..
- Using microwave radar technology that works in all weather conditions the PDS display unit is initialized when the ignition is turned on.
- The PDS zones are activated when the bus flashers are on and the front gate is extended. The green LED on the PDS display unit will be lit up.
- When an object is detected in any of the zones, the green LED turns to red while flashing simultaneously with an audible alarm.
- The system will automatically clear in 4 seconds if no objects are detected and the red LED will go back to green.
- Heavy duty obstacle detection with digital microwave technology.
- Alerts drivers to objects in areas of high danger.
- Adjustable to match operation of the front crossing arm.
- Covers up to six (6) main warning zones.
- Works in all weather conditions with no external cleaning needed.
- Visual and adjustable audio alarm.
- Driver's display will show exact location of intrusion.
- 3 Year/36,000 Miles Warranty.
The on-screen display provides real-time information to the bus driver about the zones surrounding the bus. When nothing is detected, the image of the bus on the included LCD screen lets the driver know that the area is clear through the use of a green icons. If a child or object is detected in the zone, the icon flashes red while sounding an audible alarm, informing the driver not to move the bus until the zone has been cleared.
Through the use of reflected radar waves generated by the PDS bus sensors, the system immediately detects children if they enter specified zones in the front, rear or sides of the bus as they board and exit. The sensors communicate to the audio/visual display alerting the bus driver to the presence of a child or object.
