The chauffeur with the fantasy name, UPPER EYE - is a driver alarming assistant, that complements the deficit on the market.
The number of accidents is countless, where the driver of a truck or even worse, the driver of a bus or a boat dismisses the height restriction.
In most cases a significant amount of damage occurs in these accidents.
Unfortunately, many severe accidents happen even nowadays as well, despite the fact that it is integrated in most navigation systems to give notice of height restrictions, though it is true, that numerous drivers don’t use GPS based navigation.
By the development and usage of our system, the serious material loss and life-threatening tragedies can be prevented!
Operation of the system:
UPPER EYE is a system, which indicates terrain features and obstacles in front of the vehicle. It alerts the driver with sound and light signals, so that they can slow down and stop the vehicle in time. The system monitors the speed and direction of the vehicle, and from a certain distance, it warns of danger, while filtering other false alarms, such as turning, or catching up to other vehicles.
Existing and used solutions nowadays:
- Passive and active traffic warning signs
- Mechanical solutions: height restriction indicator rod, chains, the ignorance of which could lead to disasters.
- Navigation software: their disadvantage is, in the case where their database is outdated, it won’t inform the driver about the obstacle
We would like to mention, that across Europe, in every country there are thousands of height restriction signs. Thousands in each country! Just a few examples: Germany: 1500, France: 1694, England: 3036, Sweden: 1160.
The importance and need of our development are noticeable in the statistics. This warning device is especially essential locally.
In today’s rushing world, drivers are faced by quite a few impulses.
The main goal of our development is preventing accidents by using technological assistance. Using our system could significantly improve the safety of public roads and water transport.
The UPPER EYE height warning and indicator system gives a brand-new device to the automotive industry. Primarily, our product will be purchased for trucks, passenger vehicles and buses. Secondly, work machine and heavy vehicle owners could use our system.
The UPPER EYE SYSTEM is not only useful and lifesaver on roads, but also on construction sites since it can improve the safety of tipper trucks. The opened tipper trucks can cause lots of damage.
The function of the radar is, that it constantly scans the area in front of the vehicle, in case it notices an object, or a building that is in the vehicle’s way, it warns the driver. The radar can be calibrated by pre-programmed parameters: ride height of the vehicle, height of the cargo, height of the tipper.
The development is associated with the Hungarian automotive industry.
An import, that generates significant income not only for the manufacturer, but for the Hungarian Economy as well.
State of development:
The prototype is done! We are looking for an investor to finance the serial production.
