RCA and NEORide enter into a partnership to facilitate purchases of the Mobileye Shield+ Collision Avoidance Systems for NEORide members.
QUEENS, N.Y., Oct. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rosco, a leading provider of vision safety solutions for commercial vehicles, and NEORide, a Council of Governments representing 29 transits across 7 states focused on enhancing public transit, enter into a strategic partnership that aims to advance safety in the transportation industry. NEORide entered into this agreement to facilitate purchases by its members of collision avoidance systems and services supplied by Rosco Collision Avoidance, Inc.
This collaboration between Rosco and NEORide represents a shared commitment to enhancing road safety, reducing collisions, and optimizing fleet operations. Through this partnership, Rosco will provide Mobileye Shield+ as a collision avoidance system for NEORide members through a national purchase agreement.
Mobileye Shield+ is an advanced safety system designed for commercial vehicles to help enhance road safety and reduce collisions. Mobileye Shield+ specifically targets the needs of urban commercial vehicle operators, such as buses and trucks, by providing several safety features:
- Forward Collision Warning/Urban Forward Collision Warning: This feature alerts the driver if the system detects an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle in front of the vehicle.
- Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection: Mobileye Shield+ is designed to detect pedestrians and cyclists in the vehicle's path and issue warnings to the driver to prevent collisions.
- Lane Departure Warning: This feature warns the driver if the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane, helping to reduce the risk of side-swipe accidents.
- Headway Monitoring and Warning: This feature helps maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead by issuing warnings if the gap becomes too small.
- Speed Limit Indicator: Mobileye Shield+ can recognize speed limit signs and display the current speed limit to the driver, promoting compliance with speed limits.
- Telematics: The Mobileye Shield+ System uses data to identify hot spots and high alert areas. This data can be used by planners to optimize routes and pinpoint areas that need to be analyzed for safety updates.
- APAS Technology: RCA's optional Advanced Pedestrian Alert System (APAS) is an intelligent, external audible warning system for pedestrians/cyclists outside of the bus – alerting them of potential collisions while the bus is turning.
