WABCO OnSide Blind Spot Detection System

WABCO has introduced WABCO OnSide, an advanced blind spot detection system for commercial trucks and trailers.

• Radar-based system
• Alerts drivers of presence of moving vehicles in truck’s blind spot
• Provides side collision warning to reduce risk of accidents  
• Uses advanced short range radar to detect moving vehicle in blind spot and alerts driver with visual signal
• Provides more assertive warning in form of an audible signal or seat vibration when truck’s turn signal is engaged 
• Can be used in conjunction with WABCO’s OnLaneASSIST lane keeping assist system
• When used with OnLaneASSIST, if a lane change is initiated and OnSide detects a vehicle in the adjacent lane, OnLaneASSIST applies correction torque to steering wheel to return vehicle towards lane center
• Radar sensor enables 160-degree field of view and provides coverage for up to 65% of standard 53-ft. trailer
• Performs reliably even in low visibility conditions such as darkness, fog, rain or snow
• Distinguishes moving vehicles from objects that do not pose a hazard, minimizing false warnings
• Can be mounted out of sight behind fairings on either side of vehicle and features plug-and-play functionality that does not require alignment or calibration
