TfL has made Progresivn\u00ed bezpe\u010dn\u00e9 syst\u00e9my<\/a><\/strong> mandatory to reduce rising road accidents involving vulnerable road users. Many drivers feel it\u2019s long overdue, as erratic cyclist and pedestrian behaviour adds to driver anxiety\u2014distracted commuters glued to phones, speeding cyclists darting through traffic, inexperienced e-bike riders learning on busy streets, and reckless scooterists weaving between vehicles. These risky habits have led to too many serious injuries and fatalities, prompting TfL\u2019s push for Progressive Safe Systems to make roads safer for everyone.<\/p>

\"Progresivn\u00ed<\/figure>

Because, despite all the politicking, there\u2019ll only ever be one loser in the London chicken run. A truck will always be a truck, and a vulnerable road user will always be vulnerable. And HGV drivers, as erratic humans have their failings too, hence the TfL<\/a> push to have technology help reduce these often fatal encounters. And so it\u2019s great to report that in the midst of all of this risk and driver stress, the TrafficAngel Progressive Safe System is already proving its worth around town, averting injury and even saving lives!<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Jamie Mellish runs four mixers for London Concrete. \u2018The TrafficAngel kit was fitted to one of our vehicles in the morning, and that afternoon, as one of my drivers was pulling away, he heard \u2018PEDESTRIAN FRONT!\u2019 coming from the display. He immediately braked, looked down, and saw a pedestrian right below him in the blind spot. The fact that this system gives a vocal warning to the driver as opposed to just another beeping sound in the cab makes all the difference to driver reaction. And the AI technology picking up only pedestrians has made it so much quieter in the cab now.\u2019<\/p>

Progressive Safe Systems in T&M Bowser Solutions<\/h2>\n\n

After trialling the TrafficAngel Progressive Safe Systems kit and getting the driver feedback, head of T&M Plant Terry Beasley, with some 250 bowsers working across the UK, has given TrafficAngel the go-ahead to supply the entire fleet. His driver reported how the system had issued him with the same \u2018PEDESTRIAN FRONT!\u2019 warning, how he\u2019d braked in time to see a pedestrian walking out from the front blind-spot.<\/p>\n\n

\u0158ekl Terry, \u201ePokud tento PSS m\u016f\u017ee zachr\u00e1nit jeden \u017eivot, pak to stoj\u00ed za to. A bez ohledu na mand\u00e1t TfL nyn\u00ed namontujeme syst\u00e9m TrafficAngel, proto\u017ee je to cenn\u00fd dopln\u011bk k bezpe\u010dnosti vozov\u00e9ho parku.\u201c<\/em><\/p><\/div>

James Brownhill heads up Mobile Awareness installing HGV safety equipment across the Midlands. James fits the TrafficAngel PSS and his customers are delighted. Says James, \u201eStr\u00e1vili jsme cel\u00e9 v\u011bky hled\u00e1n\u00edm vhodn\u00e9ho PSS, ale nena\u0161li jsme nic, co by spl\u0148ovalo v\u0161echny po\u017eadavky TfL a bylo tak\u00e9 jednoduch\u00e9 na mont\u00e1\u017e. Je tak\u00e9 na n\u00e1s, jestli to, co se hod\u00ed, nevyhovuje. Pot\u00e9 jsme vyzkou\u0161eli syst\u00e9m TrafficAngel a neohl\u00ed\u017eeli jsme se zp\u011bt. Jeden z na\u0161ich z\u00e1kazn\u00edk\u016f mi ned\u00e1vno vypr\u00e1v\u011bl, jak se v provozu posouval vp\u0159ed a st\u00e1le sly\u0161el \u201eP\u011aDEC P\u0158EDN\u00cd!\u201c ale nemohl nikoho vid\u011bt. Z p\u0159edn\u00edho mrtv\u00e9ho \u00fahlu se n\u00e1hle objevil mal\u00fd sk\u00fatrista, kter\u00fd st\u00e1le postupoval vp\u0159ed. \u0158idi\u010d ho nevid\u011bl, ale kamera AI ho zachytila. Bylo zabr\u00e1n\u011bno v\u00e1\u017en\u00e9mu zran\u011bn\u00ed nebo hor\u0161\u00edmu.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

Pro odp\u016frce PSS bol\u00ed nad p\u0159idan\u00fdmi n\u00e1klady a te\u010f ta nevyhovuj\u00edc\u00ed sada, kdy\u017e ud\u011bl\u00e1te sv\u016fj dom\u00e1c\u00ed \u00fakol, v\u016fle<\/em> naj\u00edt spr\u00e1vn\u00fd syst\u00e9m a sv\u00e9ho \u0159idi\u010de v\u016fle <\/em>vlastn\u011b za to d\u011bkuji! Jako praktick\u00fd p\u0159\u00edklad dom\u00e1c\u00edho \u00fakolu PSS jsem kontaktoval dodavatele PSS na Facebooku a po\u017e\u00e1dal o reference (proto\u017ee namontujeme i jinou sadu, pokud bude spl\u0148ovat standard), jen mi bylo \u0159e\u010deno, "Nem\u016f\u017eeme to ud\u011blat kv\u016fli GDPR."<\/em><\/p>

Nespokojen s takovou odpov\u011bd\u00ed jsem zatelefonoval dopravci inzerovan\u00e9mu jako \u201edal\u0161\u00ed spokojen\u00fd z\u00e1kazn\u00edk\u201c, kter\u00fd mi up\u0159\u00edmn\u011b \u0159ekl, \u017ee jeho PSS nefunguje, jak mont\u00e9\u0159i vyvrtali do karoserie d\u00edry, kter\u00e9 propou\u0161t\u011bly vodu a zkratovaly CPU vozidla, jak spole\u010dnost st\u00e1le se nevr\u00e1til, aby probl\u00e9my vy\u0159e\u0161il, tak\u017ee inzerovan\u00fd \u201espokojen\u00fd z\u00e1kazn\u00edk\u201c byl nespokojen\u00fd a v\u00e1\u017en\u011b bez kapsy.<\/p>

Of course, no installation company is perfect, but let the above simple illustration serve as a reminder that you m\u016f\u017ee<\/em> investigate further, and that you actually need to because the PSS market is awash now with the second-rate. Once again, insist on a trial, and absolutely insist on speaking to satisfied customers before you buy. If their kit is good, then customers should be happy to spread the good news.<\/p>

Pro v\u00edce informac\u00ed o PSS a seznam spokojen\u00fdch z\u00e1kazn\u00edk\u016f volejte TrafficAngel na \u010d\u00edslo 01825 768 555 a my v\u00e1m r\u00e1di pom\u016f\u017eeme. A pokud m\u00e1te z\u00e1jem o instalaci, kontaktujte n\u00e1s.   <\/em><\/p>
