VIDEO TELEMATICS REGULATIONS FOR GREATER LONDON AREA
#teltonikatelematics, #corporatenews, #products
With the latest updates to UK road safety legislation, fleet operators are facing increasing expectations to improve vehicle safety systems. Among these changes, the Moving Off Information Systems (MOIS) mandate is a significant step forward, requiring heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) to implement technologies that detect vulnerable road users (VRUs) when starting or stopping. This regulation reflects the increasing emphasis on advanced video telematics to ensure compliance and improve fleet safety.
UK LEGISLATION AND HOW IT AFFECTS FLEETS
From 28 October 2024, new Direct Vision Standard (DVS) regulations will make the installation of MOIS mandatory for HGVs over 12 tonnes operating in Greater London. This technology is vital in preventing accidents involving VRUs such as pedestrians and cyclists. Failure to comply risks fines, disruption to operations, and loss of permits. For fleet managers in logistics, public transport and delivery services, these updates highlight the importance of adopting compliant and reliable safety solutions.
HOW TELTONIKA ADAS CAN HELP
Teltonika ADAS is a perfect solution designed to meet MOIS requirements while significantly improving safety. Engineered for easy integration with PROFESSIONAL series GPS trackers, it combines the latest technology to help fleet operators achieve compliance and reduce risk.
Its advanced features are tailored to meet the unique challenges of modern fleets, such as navigating crowded urban environments, managing driver fatigue on long-haul routes and ensuring the safety of vulnerable road users in high-traffic areas. This makes Teltonika ADAS a comprehensive and must-have tracking device for companies looking to secure their operations and comply with regulatory standards.
The key features of Teltonika ADAS:
- Proactive hazard detection - the system continuously scans the road for potential VRUs and obstacles as the vehicle moves, providing immediate driver awareness.
- Real-time alerts - audio and visual alerts help drivers respond quickly to critical situations, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Versatile use - suitable for various fleet types, including urban logistics requiring efficient navigation in confined spaces, public transport systems focusing on passenger safety, and long-haul vehicles prioritising safety and operational efficiency.
- Advanced safety features - these include systems, such as Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), and Blind Spot Monitoring to increase driver awareness and prevent accidents in different driving conditions.
By integrating Teltonika ADAS into your fleet, you not only achieve compliance with the latest regulations but also improve the safety of operations, protecting both your drivers and the public. It’s a comprehensive solution transforming how fleets navigate busy and complex environments.
Kamil Urbanovič, senior partnership manager at Teltonika's telematics division, says: "The UK video telematics market is growing rapidly, with a strong focus on London, where regulatory requirements such as MOIS are driving adoption. It is a major logistics hub, with an estimated 190,000 to 240,000 trucks and lorries operating in the area, according to our customer insights. Businesses in other sectors, such as public transport, are increasingly recognising the value of video solutions in reducing risk, improving operational control and meeting compliance standards. While these requirements are currently specific to London, there is potential for similar regulations to be extended to other UK cities in the coming years, presenting a significant growth opportunity for Teltonika in the region."
