25 October 2021: Traffic management vehicle specialist Acklea has partnered with automatic emergency braking experts Moshon Data to become the sole distributor of the Moshon RadViz in the UK.
Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) have been fitted as standard to most new HGVs sold in the UK since 2015. Drivers and operators of HGVs need to understand how it works, what it does and why it’s vital, according to Driving for Better Business, which has launched online guidance on the life-saving technology in collaboration with Thatcham Research.
Tom Leggett is Lead Research Engineer for Automated Driving at Thatcham Research. This is his final blog in a series providing behind the scenes insights into his work developing a world-first consumer rating framework for Automated Driving Systems.
Letter sent to the Secretary of State to re-establish the United Kingdom as the global leader in road safety.
As a non-member of the EU, the United Kingdom will need to implement its own law for type approval and update the vehicle safety regulations.
From sales assistants having little or no knowledge of ADAS, to an actual shortage of cars in the UK - it’s safe to say, that buying a car is proving very difficult at present. Steph Garner, Sales and Marketing Manager for Moshon Data Ltd, shares her recent car-buying experience.
I very recently read an article about Magna and their partnership with Uhndar; specifically, the new ICON™ Digital Radar system which promises to revolutionise ADAS technology by 2022.
I thought I would give it some time before reviewing my new car so I could fully understand the technology that I didn’t have on my Nissan.
If you are new to this story, please take time to read through my first two stories detailing when I was in the market for a new car.
Chapter 1 - Buying a car is a nightmare
Chapter 2 - Manufacturers making consumer ADAS requests difficult
Consumer Reports (CR) is working to standardize terms so that consumers can be certain about what they’re buying.
DriverAssist.tech hosted their first ever event on the 28th July 2021 as the COVID-19 rules relax in the UK. They were joined with well known companies within the industry who were testing and demonstrating their own products.
An event not to be missed! An opportunity to network with the leaders of cutting-edge technology and witness live crash demonstrations from Passive Safety UK and AEB demonstrations from DriverAssist.Tech.
Due to the increasingly advanced ADAS safety systems, one of the research institutes in Poland needed specialized equipment to be able to test them. Envibra sp. z o. o. is a Polish supplier of equipment specialized in testing technique, simulation, recording and analysis of dynamic signals. By supplying and implementing testing equipment, it enables to perform advanced tests and studies on vehicles.
The world’s only Commercial Van Safety Rating programme, administered by vehicle safety experts at Euro NCAP and Thatcham Research, has awarded Fiat’s Ducato model a Platinum rating – marking the first time a manufacturer has ever received the highest accolade available.
Moshon Data is primarily an industry known manufacturer of soft targets that enable ADAS engineers to test active safety sensor technology. These products assist in the development of ADAS technology globally and play a small part in helping to prevent real-life accidents every day.
Testing the functionality of Automated Emergency Braking (AEB) at production facilities sounds impractical, but it could be as simple as driving against a soft target at 15 km/h, to ensure AEB functionality works.
If you have read my previous article, you will be aware of the issues that UK buyers are facing when it comes to purchasing a car. Since this point, I have come across further issues pertaining to buyers who specifically require a car fitted with ADAS technology.
