Abstract:Video technology has advanced rapidly and is available today at relatively low cost, with relatively high performance and small size. An important potential application for this technology is in heavy vehicles. It can be used to provide views to the driver that were previously unavailable (“enhancements”), and it can also be used to take the place of certain mirrors (“surrogates”). Enhancement applications are directed toward reducing blind spots or allowing better views around the heavy vehicle, whereas surrogate applications are directed toward replacement of essential mirrors. Such mirrors create aerodynamic drag and require the need for external structures. Consequently, there is a desire to replace them with video, if it is feasible to do so.
