Originally focussed on the construction and quarry technology for the industry, Spillard spent years developing technology both in hardware and software to advance mobile safety solutions that increased awareness and reduced incidents in these highly busy, commercial market dynamic and dangerous industries. However, as the years have passed by, a lot has changed in the world. We operate in a much more sophisticated 24 hours per day, 7 days per week mindset. Nowadays, we are manufacturing more than ever, and this 24/7 operating trend works its way down to the supply chain, meaning we make more, deliver more and sell more. Now more than ever, fleet managers are responsible for the care and wellbeing of huge fleets operating around the clock, from heavy goods to light goods vehicles, while not forgetting our fleet Technology at your fingertips of buses in and around our cities and towns. Spillard understands With Spillard Live, fleet managers and operators are presented with that today’s working environments have moved on considerably, an incredible amount of technology at their fingertips with such and have become somewhat busier, faster and, at times, more features as: dangerous. With the aid of the internet, both commercial and private sectors are now ordering online with ease, so much in fact Safer driving that the increase in everyday deliveries has skyrocketed. This means Accurate G-shock sensors measure impact force and driving style. more HGV and LGV units on the roads, moving in and out of depots and onto busy high streets.

Technology that’s making a difference With this technology, Spillard can reduce the number of incidents, but also reduce the number of claims made against drivers when they are being blamed for accidents. The recorded and captured footage is extremely important in this culture of the ‘blame game’, where fleet managers are accountable for so many vehicles and drivers. The multiple cameras, devices, sensors and recording systems Spillard now has in place put both drivers and fleet managers in a very strong, safe and reassuring position. With people and vehicles being in such close contact all the time, this technology is needed now more than ever. The commercial vehicle industry has progressed and so has Spillard, from the dirt of the quarry to the delivery on the high street. 6 Mobile Vision Solutions | Connected Vehicle Technology w spillard.com . e [email protected] . t +44 (0)1902 797930 7 features Safe and secure data handling, video telematics, live monitoring, reporting and safety management 24/7 Customer hierarchies Multiple camera angles Designed for the future

  • Next Generation Automotive Sun Visor
    Next Generation Automotive Sun Visor Product Development Nästa Generations Solskydd i Personbil Produktutveckling Erik Torehov Ronnevik Faculty of Health, Science and Technology Degree project for master of science in mechanical engineering 30 hp Supervisor: Mikael Grehk Examiner: Jens Bergström 2019-06-17 Abstract The main purpose of the sun visor is to prevent the driver and passengers to get blinded by the sunlight. It is essential that the sun visor is not blocking the view and that the driver has a clear line of sight so that collisions can be prevented. However, the solution of today is limited as it only covers superior parts of the light and its functionality depends on the head position of the driver and passengers. Therefore, ÅF has initiated this thesis project to develop and improve the product with the goal to further prevent the driver and passengers from being blinded by the sunlight. The scope of the project is to generate new concepts for the sun visor using product development methods. The product development process involves various phases. Collecting and identifying customer needs and wishes resulted in a detailed requirement specification. Competitor analysis, or benchmarking, was conducted to create awareness of what already exists on the market. New concepts were created by two separate brainstorming sessions. These new concepts were evaluated by concept screening and concept scoring matrices and a final concept was chosen for further development. The final concept was modeled and developed with all necessary components in CAD with help of the software Catia V5. A material selection was performed on the new components with help of CES Edupack and a final material suggestion for each component was presented.

  • Driving with Sun in Your Eyes
    Sylvania Minerals, LLC 5699 Ready Road South Rockwood, Michigan 48179 Telephone: 734.783.7400 Eight Tips for Driving with the Sun in Your Eyes Sunlight can cause major problems seeing when you drive at any time of year, not just in summer. The period just after the sun rises and just before it sets are dangerous times for drivers, whether the days are long or short. When the sun is shining into your eyes as you drive, you don’t have a good view of the road due to glare. It can be impossible to get a true view of the road ahead. But you can take steps to improve your vision when the sun is out. These eight tips will help you make your trip safely, achieving hazard reduction whatever your destination. Tip #1: Wear polarized sunglasses Don’t think that sunglasses in winter are silly. A good pair of polarized sunglasses are an essential safety tool for any driver year round. They won’t give you perfect vision in the glare of the sun, but they are your best first step. Tip #2: Wash your windshield regularly Grime on the inside and outside of your windshield makes the sunlight refract and scatter, which intensifies the glare. Clean glass is easier to see out of whatever the weather conditions, but especially when you are facing sunlight. It is best to clean your windshield before your trip. Using your car’s windshield cleaning device during the drive leaves drops of washer fluid on it, which reflect the sun, making it harder to drive until they dry up.

  • Head up Displays Go Down Market
    http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/green-tech/advanced-cars/head-up-displays-go-down-market Head Up Displays Go Down Market By Lucas Laursen Posted 11 Sep 2013 | 19:25 GMT Heads Up Displays (HUDs), once the domain of fighter pilots and luxury car drivers, now come in a clip-on variety affordable to a much wider market. The systems project information on to a see-through screen to help keep their users’ attention outside the vehicle. But until now, such clarity of mind never came cheap: BMW charges over US $1000 for its built-in HUD system. At this week’s Frankfurt Motor Show (http://www.iaa.de/en/) in Germany, several cheaper alternatives were on offer. Car accessory maker Pioneer showed off its NavGate HUD (http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/newsroom/news/hud /page.html), which it will sell in Europe starting in October. The HUD uses Texas Instruments’ DLP projector instead of the more expensive laser found in a Japanese- market predecessor (http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/30/3051999/pioneer-cybernavi-laser-car-hud-hands-on). That move shaves a few hundred dollars off its cost, but it still comes through at €699, or $927. Navigation system maker Garmin last month announced a dashboard-mounted HUD display for $150 (https://buy.garmin.com /en-US/US/on-the-road/apps/head-up-display-hud-/prod134348.html). Unlike built-in HUDs systems, these after-market versions require drivers to provide a smartphone and to download separate applications (an additional $50 in Garmin’s case (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/garmin- u.s.a./id435490305)).
