Components of the MEKRA Turn Assist System (AAS)

The side radar is an object detection system with an FMCW radar sensor. Drivers of medium-sized and heavy commercial vehicles are alerted to obstacles and vulnerable road users located in their blind spot. Thanks to intelligent operating modes, the side radar system reliably triggers alerts when cyclists or other vehicles and people are in the detection zone. Since the system can distinguish between moving and stationary objects (e.g. guardrails and parked cars), false alarms are kept to a minimum. 

Our turn assist system is radar based and in case of danger of a person or moving object in the blind spot, an acoustic warning is triggered in the driver's cab. Combined with our camera monitor system, it is the ideal solution to eliminate the blind spot.
