Preco is pleased to announce PreView University, a multiplatform training system for PreView Radar collision warning products. Training includes:

Safety and work site noise is a hot topic right now: the FHWA is currently introducing regulations aimed at reducing work site noise levels. See the final rule, effective July 2011, at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/noise/regulations_and_guidance/

The new WorkSight Preview collision avoidance system builds on the strengths of PreView Radar’s patented pulsed radar technology, which is designed and built exclusively by Preco Electronics, Inc.

According to a recent study highlighted in Waste Age Magazine, backing accidents account for approximately 25% of waste vehicle collisions. As the leading manufacturer of collision avoidance products, PreView Radar is committed to improving blind-spot safety and eliminating backing accidents.

PreView Radar now offers a variety of helpful videos about our leading-edge object detection radar systems. Go to the PreView Radar YouTube channel to find product demos, how-to installation guides, and industry-specific application videos on many of our collision avoidance products.

This year, National Work Zone Awareness Week will be held from April 4–8. Drivers and equipment operators in work zones must get the job done in variable weather conditions, through changing temperatures, and with dust, debris and mud impacting visibility. Whether they’re working on utility lines, laying pipes, or raising a new building, they’ve got to pay attention to moving and stationary objects while dealing with powerful equipment.

You’ve trained your mining equipment drivers in safety measures for proximity detection. You’ve installed mirrors and back-up beepers on your vehicles. But accidents still happen, right? They don’t have to. The next step in avoiding mining blind-spot accidents is installing PreView Radar’s mining proximity detection equipment. Our patented pulsed radar gives drivers both active and passive alerts, because even if a driver checks the mirrors and the back-up beeper is functioning, a person or object can move into the vehicle’s blind spot in seconds.

To prevent costly accidents, drivers of heavy-duty equipment need to be in total control of their vehicle. After all, that’s a lot of metal to move around a worksite and keep out of harm’s way. Using PreView Radar’s effective object detection technologies gives drivers reliable tools for avoiding blind-spot accidents. And that saves the company both time and money.
