Vision Techniques has launched a new emergency stop system aimed at helping to prevent or mitigate a Glasgow-type tragedy.
VT StopSafe was developed in-house by Vision Techniques’ technical team, and is installed as a push-button on the vehicle dashboard.
The system gives crew an ability to bring the vehicle to a controlled stop, if the driver becomes incapable of controlling the vehicle, simply by pushing the button.
VT StopSafe then automatically cuts engine power while applying ABS braking – so reducing the risk of tragic accidents.
The system can be installed on any type of crewed vehicle and is also suitable for retrofit.
