TFL evaluation day

TFL evaluation day

October 27, 2022
The CEMEX supply chain team were approached in 2021 by working partners Loughborough University and Transport for London (TFL) to support the consultation process for the next generation of Direct Vision Standard (DVS) which concludes this month.

The next generation of DVS will focus on future technology that is not only more driver intuitive, but reduces false alarms, has a greater built in reliability/longevity and gives a better scanned coverage area.

Our long standing commitment to trialling and implementing next generation safety equipment such as the latest Radar Vulnerable road user detection system made the perfect test facility for Loughborough University and TFL who are keen to see this type of equipment adopted into the next generation.

On the 18th October the Tilbury Logistics operation team were invited to present a vehicle at the TFL offices in London, fitted with the new Radar based system for key stake holders to carry out final testing during live operation of the vehicle.

Tilbury Driver Darren Wood supported the testing during the day and raised the CEMEX flag to our dedication towards vehicle safety technology and that of the VRU.
