The EU will force the installation of auxiliary safety equipment for truck blind areas
Truck blind area exists objectively
The accident hazards brought by it are not only in China
The same is true abroad
It also promotes the improvement of relevant policies and automobile technology in various countries.

Truck blind spot accidents are widespread
It is reported that 4000 people are killed and many others are seriously injured in truck collisions in Europe every year. 15% of road fatalities are related to truck collisions. One quarter of the deaths caused by trucks are among vulnerable road users.
Vulnerable road users include pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. The number of vulnerable road users injured in accidents is half of the number injured in road accidents. In addition, urbanization, initiatives to promote cycling and walking, e-commerce and vigorous urban construction mean that the accident problem between trucks and vulnerable road users will become more and more serious.
When trucks collide with vulnerable road users, they are mostly in the blind area when the speed is relatively low. The statistical analysis of the situation in the UK also shows that there are three main danger zones around the truck cab: the front of the truck (when starting), and the left and right side collision accidents caused when turning.

EU will force installation of active safety equipment in blind areas
In order to solve the problem of blind areas, one of the EU's methods is to improve the truck structure, and improve the driver's indirect vision to eliminate blind areas. For example, the rear view mirror is added, but the effect on improving safety is not obvious; Or reduce the cab height to expand the driver's direct vision, but this model cannot meet all road transport needs.

In addition to improving the design idea of truck structure, the European Union has spared no effort to promote the use of driver assisted safety systems, and the effect is obvious. In 2009, the European Commission introduced a series of measures to improve road traffic safety according to its safety regulation No. 661/2009/ec, forcing new vehicles to install active safety devices in stages, including emergency braking system (AEBS). According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the AEBS emergency braking system can reduce the number of car accidents at low speeds by 38%, saving more than 1000 lives in the EU every year.
In addition, auxiliary safety devices specially designed for truck blind areas are also promoted in the EU. According to foreign media recently, German mainland companies and the European Union have also launched a turn assist system to solve the problem of blind spots for large trucks and trucks. With the help of the radar detection system, the system can detect pedestrians and cyclists in the blind area when the truck turns. If there are pedestrians in the blind area, the system can remind the driver and automatically stop the vehicle when necessary.
In addition, the European Union stipulates that by 2024, all new trucks need to be mandatory to install blind zone steering assistance systems. If the truck is added voluntarily, it will be subsidized by the state to fill the equipment gap of trucks already on the road, which will greatly reduce the traffic accidents caused by truck blind spots.

Auxiliary braking system for dead zone of muck truck

As far as the current situation in China is concerned, the popularity of AEBS emergency braking system in the commercial vehicle field is relatively limited. The auxiliary braking system of Haikang Technology muck truck is similar to the turning aid system launched by Continental Germany. It is designed for the main dangerous areas around the cab of the muck truck caused by the blind area. It mainly solves the right side collision accidents caused by the front right of the truck (when starting) and turning. The system completes the identification of obstacles and active braking within 0.4 seconds, which can minimize the risk of collision with pedestrians and cyclists.

Judging from the test and use of the vehicles that have installed the auxiliary braking system in the blind area of the muck truck, the obstacles are effectively judged and the braking accuracy is high.

Blind area auxiliary safety equipment is the general trend

From the introduction of auxiliary braking devices abroad and the general trend of the industry, it is imperative to apply the auxiliary braking system of residue trucks, whether it is the development of driving technology or the emphasis on traffic safety. However, it should also be noted that the safety of driving should not be taken lightly because of the availability of auxiliary safety tools. The safety of driving still requires manual control rather than electronic systems.
