Brigade brings Vision Zero expertise to the 2025 Association of Ontario Road Supervisors Municipal Public Works Trade Show
BURLINGTON, ON, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Brigade will be answering questions about Vision Zero and showcasing its high-quality range of commercial vehicle safety solutions when it attends the Association of Ontario Road Supervisors Municipal Public Works Trade Show 2025 from June 4th to June 5th.
Vision Zero regulations have already been introduced to 25 cities across Canada, including Toronto, Montreal, Québec, Ottawa and Vancouver, with many more cities considering it as part of their road safety plans.
Vision Zero is a multi-national safety initiative with the ultimate goal of eliminating road fatalities caused by collisions due to poor visibility and vehicle blind spots on vehicles such as distribution and freight trucks, buses and coaches, emergency response and refuse vehicles.
During the event, Brigade will be answering frequently asked questions about Vision Zero as well as helping operators navigate appropriate safety solutions to aid drivers and prevent collisions. These include AI cameras, its Radar Predict system and Front Radar.
Warren Di Marco, CEO of Brigade Canada, said:
'In 2022, road collisions led to 1,931 Canadians being killed on our roads – of those, 340 were pedestrians and cyclists – while a further 8,851 people were seriously injured. As well as the loss of life and impact on families, transport injuries also have a financial effect and cost Canada $3.6 billion a year. Vision Zero initiatives are helping to reduce the price people are having to pay every day as a result of preventable road traffic collisions. Brigade has spent years painstakingly researching and developing the best and most reliable vehicle safety solutions to assist drivers and greatly enhance road safety for all.'
Brigade's newest product has recently entered the market – an AI driver safety camera. This aims to reduce the possibility of an incident caused by lack of concentration or driver fatigue. Sensors positioned near the steering wheel track signs of distracted behaviour and tiredness by continuous monitoring of the driver's face, eyes and head movements. They can pick up on cellphone usage and seatbelt deployment as well as unusual drooping, yawning or nodding. Built-in AI analyzes these signals and provides audible alerts to the driver. Erratic steering and unusual vehicle positioning can also trigger an alarm, and there is the option of alerting the fleet manager too.
Brigade's recently upgraded award-winning Backeye®360 has been a bestseller for the company since its 2013 launch. The 360-degree camera now features cutting-edge AI capable of identifying humans in vehicle blind spots.
The intelligent camera system aids manoeuvrability in challenging situations by providing drivers with a complete 360-degree view of their vehicle in a single image. The system merges images from four cameras positioned around the vehicle and provides a real-time view on an in-cab monitor, creating a 'bird's-eye view' of the vehicle and its surroundings.
Warren added:
'By enhancing our Backeye®360 and other cameras with AI technology, we offer operators even greater assurance that they are using the safest solutions available. Our innovative systems not only prevent incidents but also provide critical support. Brigade's AI cameras integrate effortlessly into a vehicle's existing infrastructure for a seamless upgrade and are compatible with our entire range of AI-powered devices.
'Brigade works tirelessly to prevent collisions on our roads, and our recent partnership with Together for Safer Roads (TSR) will add further support to our efforts. We hope to meet as many people as possible at the AORS Trade Show and raise awareness of the huge and multiple benefits of the Vision Zero initiative.'
Brigade will be attending the Association of Ontario Road Supervisors Municipal Public Works Trade Show 2025 at the Woodstock Fairgrounds and Agricultural Society, 875 Nellis Street, Woodstock, Ontario N4S 4C6 on June 4th and 5th. Find them at stand 230.
