Vehicles are required to incorporate a Moving Off Information System (MOIS) that identifies pedestrians or cyclists in the blind spot at the vehicle’s front when it’s stationary. This system should issue a warning as the vehicle prepares to move. It’s vital the front sensor system actively responds to Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) presence without causing false alerts. A visual signal must indicate VRU detection, escalating to an audible alarm if a collision risk arises upon moving.
Every vehicle must be equipped with a Blind Spot Information System (BSIS), which alerts the driver about Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) nearby, excluding cars or non-colliding objects. The system, operational from 0 to 30 km/h, must have a detection capability extending 2m up, 2.2m to the side, and 9m behind the vehicle, functioning regardless of the turn signal’s status. For comprehensive details on BSIS standards, please refer to the Transport For London website.
To address the blind spot on the vehicle’s nearside, a Camera Monitoring System is required, even if mirrors are present. The in-cab monitors should be placed near the window edge or existing mirror locations to reduce driver distraction. While Mirror Replacement Camera Systems can substitute Class V and VI mirrors, monitors designed for low-speed maneuvering blind spots can deactivate above 20mph. If a vehicle already has a camera system that offers the same safety benefits, an additional system is not required.
Vehicles must install Audible Warning systems for alerting pedestrians and cyclists about turning actions. A system integrating spoken messages with white noise is advised for effectiveness, requiring little to no driver action. A manual switch should be available for night-time operation (23:30-07:00). For vehicles with left-hand drive, a specific warning system must indicate right turns to protect pedestrians and cyclists.
Warning signs must be affixed to the back of a rigid vehicle and any attached trailers, rather than on the front tractor unit.
