Better visibility for special transport drivers: A revolutionary solution

In the world of special, heavy and exceptional transport such as the transportation of concrete beams, transformers, machinery and machine parts, safety plays a crucial role.
Drivers on these transports are true professionals who face the challenge of getting their cargo safely from A to B with minimal damage.
In this article, we discuss an innovative solution that can significantly improve visibility for these drivers with wireless cameras.

The challenge: Limited visibility during special transport

Special transportation drivers navigate traffic daily with bulky and often awkward loads.
Limited visibility around these large vehicles and loads increases the risk of cargo damage during transport.
This leads not only to financial losses, but also to delays and reduced job satisfaction among drivers .
The challenge is to create extra visibility in a simple way for each situation and type of load.

The solution: flexibly mountable wireless cameras

The introduction of wireless cameras offers a promising solution for improving visibility around special transport vehicles.
Because these cameras are wireless, they can easily be placed in desired locations on a trailer or load.
The wireless camera system can send images to the cab from up to 4 cameras per transmitter.
The driver can choose which camera he wants in view depending on his needs.
This additional visibility significantly improves safety during transport.

Implementation and technical specifications

Rietveld supplies a set with monitor, camera “selection” panel, cameras, receivers and transmitters.
The receivers are usually placed on the cab and the cameras and receivers are mounted on the trailer or load.
Power can then be connected to the lighting on the width boards.
And if you want to go a step further, you can take your Be inspired by our customer Jan Kees Boer Transport.
They made a robust housing with magnets, allowing them to flexibly place the transmitters and cameras on the trailer or load.
They therefore have the freedom to create the ideal additional visibility per load and situation.

Benefits of wireless cameras for special transport

• Less damage: Improved visibility reduces the risk of collisions and damage during transport.
• Fewer damaged loads : More precise navigation leads to fewer errors and returns.
• Fewer procedures related to claims handling: Fewer claims means less time and money spent on claims handling.
• Reduced costs: Preventing damage and returns results in significant cost savings.
• Increased job satisfaction for drivers: Less stress and more confidence while driving increase job satisfaction.
• More satisfied customers: A smoother and safer transportation process leads to higher customer satisfaction.

Discussion: The future of escorting in special transportation

With the introduction of wireless cameras, the question arises as to whether mandatory escorts for special transportation are still necessary.
After all, these technological advances offer drivers an unprecedented level of visibility and control over their cargo.
The question, then, is whether this innovation can replace or complement traditional escorts, which could lead to further cost savings and efficiencies in the industry.
In Scandinavia, for example, it is already no longer necessary to have escorts along for the ride when using width and rear cameras.

Conclusion

The implementation of wireless cameras in the world of special transportation promises to revolutionize safety and efficiency.
With a relatively small investment, companies can provide their drivers with a powerful tool that significantly reduces the risk of damage and improves the overall transportation process.
It is a step forward that benefits not only the drivers, but also the customers and the companies themselves.
