Making Streets Safer

Protect the health and safety of citizens and road users

Large vehicle and machinery drivers shouldn’t have to travel blind on busy streets. Yet, blind spots remain a major safety concern, contributing to collisions that pose significant human risk but also delay critical services and lead to costly, time-consuming repairs. With traditional mirrors and single-view cameras, drivers are constantly scanning and are left with gaps in visibility. At just 3 mph, a vehicle can travel up to 33 feet in the time it takes a driver to check multiple mirrors, assess hazards, and react.

Brigade’s Backeye® 360 eliminates these blind spots by providing a real-time, 360° surround view of the vehicle in a single image, enhancing safety and reducing the risk of accidents in dense environments. Designed for low-speed maneuverability, it simplifies hazard detection by removing the need to process multiple mirrors or monitors in quick succession. NEWCOM works with fleets of all shapes and sizes to implement, install, and maintain these systems, helping to create safer streets for everyone.

So how does it work?

Brigade’s Backeye® 360 uses four ultra-wide-angle cameras mounted on the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle to capture a full 360° view. These cameras eliminate blind spots by covering every angle with over 180° of visibility each. The footage is sent to an electronic control unit (ECU), which instantly processes, corrects distortion, and stitches the images together into a single, seamless real-time view on the driver’s monitor. This all-in-one display makes it easier for drivers to navigate busy streets safely.
