The Progressive Safe System furore over conformity and arguing over ‘fit for purpose’ technology has died down now. And so too has the rush to apply for the grace period which was open to London road users up until October 28th 2024. This date has now passed, and the grace period can no longer be applied for. Now, it’s all about making sure any outstanding vehicles are fitted with the necessary technology by midnight May 3rd 2025.
Confused about TfL processes?
TrafficAngel has a YouTube video explaining all the TfL intricacies, headed up by Odri (right) who also has her own desk and busy telephone dealing with the many customer queries and fleet managers confused about the exact procedure to continue to drive without being fined.
Full PSS requires a left turn alarm, AI camera or radar system, a minimum 7 inch screen giving an uninterrupted nearside side view and the correct rear signage for rigid vehicles. The upgrade PSS fitment presumes the vehicle has the original DVS system already installed which is then supplemented by the latest AI technology.
Research & Development
TrafficAngel spent a great deal of time researching and developing the best PSS technology to fit, deciding on AI cameras. That decision was based on the following logical processes:
- ease of use for the customer
- ease and speed of fitment
- ignition and earth the only connections required (thereby avoiding CAN bus and other sensitive electronics in the vehicle)
- overall reliability of the system
- factory-fit looks
Customer Feedback
And TrafficAngel is delighted to report customers are already telling us how our system has avoided serious pedestrian collisions and has even saved lives. Another key benefit of the TrafficAngel PSS when driving in London is the sound of silence! Drivers are telling us how much quieter their day is now the constant unnecessary bleeping has been removed from the cab!
And it was this constant aggravating audio distraction that was the ultimate driving force behind the TfL drive to upgrade these safety systems. The old-style sensors would bleep at anything within a certain distance of the vehicle leading to driver complacency and ignoring the audio warning when the bleeping really mattered!
