Accidents involving large vehicles in city centres remain a safety concern, with a high proportion of serious incidents occurring during turning manoeuvres, particularly when vehicles are turning left.
Improving vehicle visibility and warning capability during these manoeuvres can reduce risk to cyclists and pedestrians on busy urban roads.
This indicator-activated turn safety alarm uses combined visual and audible warnings to improve awareness of vehicle movement among vulnerable road users.
The system remains inactive during normal driving and activates only when the vehicle indicates a left or right turn.
During a turning manoeuvre, high-intensity LED lights flash while an integrated speaker emits an audible warning to attract attention.
By combining light and sound alerts, the system helps reduce the likelihood of cyclists or pedestrians being overlooked, including in situations where they may not be directly observing the vehicle or may be wearing headphones.
