Collision avoidance technology is not a new idea. What is new are research findings indicating the technology could halve all lane change and rear-end crashes. According to Fleet Equipment Magazine, new collision prevention systems will slash annual collision repair and loss costs and, more importantly, it will save lives.
One system in development is Merritor WABCO OnGuard, an Adaptive Cruise Control and Active Braking system that automatically alerts operators of an impending collision and automatically de-throttles the engine.
As an owner or operator, do you see foresee a future where collision prevention tech is not only encouraged in your fleet's trucks, but becomes an industry requirement?
