Navevo, the specialist HGV Satnav company, is claiming a world first with the launch of a HGV Cyclist Alert feature. The alert provides drivers with an audible and visual alert when they are approaching a junction or road section, where it has been determined there are high numbers of cyclists and HGVs using data provided by Transport for London (TfL).
The on-screen warning indicates a warning zone of 50m radius along with an audible tone and is intended to serve as a reminder to drivers of the need to be observant for cyclists.
ProNav HGV Cyclist Alert is to be supplied as a standard feature on ProNav PNN420 models and will be rolled out to all ProNav systems in due course.
There have been a number of accidents where cyclists were fatally injured by HGVs and this safety initiative can only be a positive step forward in increasing awareness if the issues.
