Turn assistance system

Turning accidents due to the "blind spot"

It is a regularly recurring accident scenario, especially in urban centres:
A lorry turns right and hits an unprotected road user who was trying to continue straight ahead. The victims are usually cyclists, but sometimes also pedestrians, inline skaters, etc. In most cases, the accident victims are run over by the lorry. It goes without saying that this results in extremely serious, very often fatal injuries.

"In turning accidents between lorries and cyclists/pedestrians, 71 people died and 723 were seriously injured, according to figures from the German Accident Research Institute (UDV) for 2012."

Visibility from the cab of the lorry is severely restricted. Cyclists, pedestrians and especially children are easily overlooked by drivers, with serious consequences for life and health.
