More Innovations From ISS At PAWRS 2014 - Stand M25

Innovative Safety Systems Ltd ISS demonstrated its latest vehicle safety innovations at PAWRS today at the NEC Birmingham, including a fully functioning prototype of the newly developed Cyclear Cyclist Safety Warning device. Developed over 4 years, Cyclear is the only Cyclist Warning Display System to be designed from the ground up to address the danger of accidents involving HGVs and cyclists, engaging both cyclists and drivers in the prevention of accidents. The new system is currently being evaluated by several major clients in the waste, utility and construction sectors.

Gavin Thoday, Director, ISS: We have invested significant resources in developing a system that solves the problem of cyclist accidents involving HGVs once and for all. Four years of research and development and an investment of hundreds of thousands of pounds has resulted in a system that is unique in the UK market. A patent is pending for this innovative system.

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.
