Blind Spot Monitoring System

A blind spot monitoring system helps drivers detect cyclists and vulnerable road users around the vehicle. Combining intelligent radar, AI-powered detection and 360° awareness. These solutions provide timely alerts, reduce false alarms and support safer manoeuvring.

Protect the people closest to the vehicle.

The nearside, the kerb, the moment a cyclist comes alongside —this is where awareness matters most and a mirror helps least. Brigade detection systems watch these spaces and give the driver a clear, timely warning.

Cyclist detection without the false alarms.

Know when a cyclist is in your detection zone. And know if the vehicle is on a path to meet one. All without the false alarms that get warnings ignored. Radar Predict understands the vehicle’s speed and direction – and the cyclist’s too. Complete coverage along the nearside, including the full trailer. It even teaches itself whether a trailer is attached, cutting the false alarms articulation usually causes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about blind spot monitoring systems.

How do blindspot and cyclist detection systems for vehicles work?
Blindspot and cyclist detection systems use technologies such as radar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors or a combination of these to monitor areas around a vehicle that are difficult for the driver to see directly. When a cyclist, pedestrian or other road user enters a monitored detection zone, the system alerts the driver through visual, audible or haptic warnings.

More advanced systems use intelligent algorithms to assess the speed and direction of both the vehicle and the detected object. This helps identify potential collision risks while reducing unnecessary alerts. Brigade’s Radar Predict system uses AI-powered radar technology to distinguish between moving and stationary objects and supports blind spot monitoring along the side of the vehicle.

Why are blindspot detection systems for vehicles so important?

Blind spot detection systems help drivers become aware of vulnerable road users and obstacles that may not be visible through mirrors or direct vision alone.

Improved Vulnerable Road User Protection
Helps drivers identify cyclists and pedestrians travelling close to the vehicle, particularly in urban environments.

Enhanced Driver Awareness
Provides timely warnings when a road user enters a monitored blind spot area, helping drivers make safer decisions.

Reduced Collision Risk
Supports safer turning, lane changes and low-speed manoeuvres where blind spot incidents are most likely to occur.

Supports Regulatory Requirements
Can help fleets meet blind spot monitoring requirements where legislation or industry standards apply. Compliance depends on the complete vehicle specification, installation and applicable regulations.

Increased Driver Confidence
Gives drivers greater awareness of their surroundings and additional support in challenging driving environments.

Camera vs radar blindspot and cyclist detection for vehicles

Both camera and radar systems can help improve blind spot awareness, but they use different technologies and offer different advantages.

Camera-Based Blind Spot Detection
Camera systems provide a visual image of the area around the vehicle and may use artificial intelligence to identify pedestrians and cyclists. AI-enabled systems can recognise human forms and highlight detected people on-screen, helping drivers understand what is happening around the vehicle.

Radar-Based Blind Spot Detection
Radar systems detect the presence, speed and direction of objects using radio waves. They can continue operating in conditions where visibility may be reduced by darkness, rain, fog or glare. Advanced radar systems can also assess whether a collision path is developing and provide graduated warnings. Brigade’s Radar Predict technology analyses the movement of both the vehicle and cyclist to help reduce false alarms.

Which Is Better?
The best solution depends on the application. Camera systems provide visual context, while radar systems excel at object detection and movement analysis. Many fleets choose integrated solutions that combine camera and radar technologies to improve driver awareness and provide a more complete blind spot monitoring system.
