Digital mirrors for large vehicles: great safety wins & environmental benefits
Convincing advantages:
aesthetics, aerodynamics, safety, environmental protection
- Elimination of driver blind spots, a much better field of view and improved safety for everyone on the road and on the street – day and night.
- Striking improvement of vision in dark/night conditions as well as in difficult weather conditions as rain, snow, fog.
- Reduction in fuel consumption or battery energy saving, thanks to much better aerodynamics.
CMS technology boosts safety on the road!
Better driver visibility day & night and under all lighting conditions
The advantages of CMS systems over classical mirrors are enormous, especially for large vehicles. They provide superior driver vision in all lighting conditions and under any challenging weather scenario. Vision is as intuitive as conventional rearview vision, but better - more precise and free of glare or reflections even in bright backlight or darkness.
FoV: superior view of all critical areas
The field of view is significantly increased and all critical viewing areas are safely covered. Drivers can thus quickly and reliably assess their surroundings and potential hazardous situations. They benefit from optimum support during all driving maneuvers.
Auto-Panning: safe maneuvers with the trailer's tail always in view
Besides the dangerous blind spot issues of classic mirrors, vision when maneuvering with a trailer is a huge challenge for drivers of large vehicles. Here too, the digital mirror comes with a solution: thanks to the auto panning function, drivers never lose the view of the trailer’s tail and are able to perform all maneuvers safely.
"Sentinel" Feature: theft protection feature for parked vehicles & cargo
An integrated Sentinel function can be offered to monitor the surroundings of your vehicle, so your cargo and fuel can be guarded. The driver simply activates the function through a button located, e.g., in the sleeper cab. So, in case of any suspicious events in the camera’s field of view, a warning signal (visual or with sound) will be activated. This is an additional benefit of the camera systems that saves further security systems.
EU targets for CO2 reduction: digital mirrors help reducing consumption
Reducing emissions from large vehicles is currently one of the most urgent challenges - and the digital mirror is part of the solution. Aerodynamic designs with streamlined digital mirrors instead of bulky exterior mirrors reduce consumption, emissions, and costs, while increasing the range of vehicles.
Best-in-class with great choice of displays
Kappa digital mirrors for trucks come with light-sensitive Full HD cameras working at 60 fps and an unmatched low system latency - the core features to provide uninterrupted smooth vision even on big displays needed for large vehicles. Great choice of 10.25’’ / 12.3’’ and 15.6’’ displays!
