Stay Ahead with DVS Progressive Safe System Compliance
From October 2024, Transport for London’s (TfL) Direct Vision Standard (DVS) will require all HGVs over 12 tonnes operating in Greater London to have a minimum 3-star rating or be equipped with the Progressive Safe System (PSS). Jets GPS Fleet Solutions is here to ensure your fleet meets these enhanced safety standards efficiently and effectively.
What is the Progressive Safe System (PSS)?
The PSS is an advanced safety framework introduced by TfL to further protect vulnerable road users. It encompasses a range of technological enhancements designed to eliminate blind spots and improve driver awareness.
Key PSS Requirements:
-
Camera Monitoring Systems (CMS): Installation of nearside cameras to eliminate blind spots.
-
Class V and VI Mirrors or CMS Equivalents: Enhanced visibility of the front and nearside areas.
-
Blind Spot Information System (BSIS): Sensors that detect vulnerable road users on the nearside and alert the driver.
-
Moving Off Information System (MOIS): Front-mounted sensors to warn drivers of pedestrians or cyclists when moving off.
-
Side Under-Run Protection: Physical barriers to prevent pedestrians and cyclists from being dragged under the wheels.
-
Audible Vehicle Manoeuvring Warning: Alerts for left turns (or right for left-hand drive vehicles) to warn nearby road users.
-
External Warning Signage: Clear signage indicating blind spots and cautioning vulnerable road users.
