Fastview360 prepares for TfL changes with AI

New camera systems equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) programmed to recognise moving and stationary people were the focus on the Fastview360 stand.

Business development manager Nick Billington said the move to AI would be launched by the company in September.

With TfL set to beef up its Direct Vision Standard Progressive Safe System scheme, Fastview360 has hedged its bets. Billington said: “TfL hasn’t announced the final regulations, but we understand it’s going to be putting three camera systems onto a vehicle: forward-facing, nearside blind spot (by the front axle) and one looking down the side.”

Fastview360’s camera will be designed to monitor people near to the truck. A blue light in the cab will flag up a person in close proximity; if they move, the system turns the light red and issues a warning.
