Autocar Adds High-Tech Systems to Enhance Truck Safety
BIRMINGHAM, AL / ACCESSWIRE / October 8, 2021 / With an eye toward safety and performance, Autocar designed its Badass waste collection vehicles as the nation's first fleet of refuse trucks featuring ADAS (Advanced Driver Assist System).
'As part of Autocar's efforts to address various safety challenges, we built a custom test chassis, which included the ADAS technology,' said James Johnston, president, Autocar Trucks. To ensure consistent performance, Autocar tested trucks in a variety of road, traffic, and weather conditions-including Michigan's harsh winter conditions.
Autocar's pioneering ADAS-equipped truck boasts the following features:
The ADAS hardware was subjected to rigorous testing to confirm that the ADAS system canhandle the severe-duty environment of the refuse industry.
When it comes to real-world applications, Autocar's ACX severe-duty refuse trucks feature intuitive technology that 'sets a new standard for safety for drivers, customers and communities,' according to Longwood, Florida-based WastePro. The privately-owned waste collection, recycling, processing, and disposal company was the first client to purchase Autocar's new refuse trucks.
While operator awareness, training and attention remain a critical element of truck safety, ADAS-equipped trucks are an important tool to assist the operator in safely performing their job.
