ISS Demonstrates 'Most Effective' Cyclist Warning Device At RWM

ISS was presented with the opportunity to demonstrate its newly developed Cyclear Cyclist Safety Warning device at RWM 2013. The Cyclear cyclist warning display system, designed specifically to engage both cyclists and drivers in the prevention of accidents involving HGVs and cyclists, generated a high degree of interest among show visitors, industry experts and key clients.

Cyclear draws praise from TRL, Dennis Eagle and Transport for London at RWM 2013

Kevin Prater, Sales Director, Dennis Eagle: This product is a great fit for our vehicles and customers — it ticks all the boxes for an innovative, easy to use, technically astute system.

Steve Lewis, Director of Safety Science, TRL Technology: The Cyclear system has real potential for combating the serious problem of cyclist casualties involving HGVs, as it activates both the driver and cyclist simultaneously. We are impressed with the ISS approach of engaging both vehicle operator and cyclist in prevention and look forward to the planned evaluation programme which will help determine real world benefits.

David Brown, Senior Road Safety Manager, Transport for London: We are supportive of technology innovations that will help reduce the risks to cyclists — in particular left turn hazards. ISS designs, installs and maintains its own range of vehicle safety and lighting equipment such as reversing radars, CCTV camera systems, Hard Disk Recording, bespoke warning beacons and LED lighting.
