Mobile Awareness, a provider of transportation safety products, announced the release of a new speech-enunciating vehicle back-up warning alarm called SafetyVOICE.
It is a commercial grade reverse back-up alerting device designed to protect individuals on foot from injuries and fatalities resulting from a vehicle’s blind spot. Activated by placing a vehicle transmission in reverse, the system delivers human voice commands, coupled with a piercing electronic alarm. To pedestrians in proximity to the rear of a vehicle, the sound of human speech stating, "please stand clear" is heard instead of a back-up beeping alarm.
SafetyVOICE was designed to be a more effective method of preventing non-traffic pedestrian injuries and deaths that can occur around commercial trucks, delivery vans, waste management and utility vehicles, emergency vehicles and school buses, the company said.
It was developed to enhance object-detection systems, such as rear-view cameras and sonar backing sensors, and is a rugged, self-contained product, the company said. Backing accidents occur every 1.6 minutes in the United States, according to the company.
