Knorr-Bremse TruckServices, the commercial vehicle aftermarket segment of Knorr-Bremse and Intel company Mobileye have recently launched the next generation of their retrofittable turning assistant, ProFleet Assist+ Gen 2. ProFleet Assist+ Gen 2 employs algorithms that have been optimized with the aid of artificial intelligence – its numerous enhancements offer even greater protection for vulnerable road users. Along with eight other retrofittable turning assistants for commercial vehicles, ProFleet Assist+ Gen 2 was recently tested by the German Automobile Club ADAC and placed in the top three. One key reason for this ranking was the system’s ability to reliably distinguish between vulnerable road users and other objects, minimizing the number of false alerts.
