SAFETY VOICE: The Speech Enunciating Pedestrian Alerting System

SafetyVOICE™ is a commercial grade reverse back-up alerting device designed to protect, individuals on foot, from injuries and fatalities resulting from a vehicle’s blind spot. Activated by placing a vehicle transmission in reverse, the system delivers human voice commands, coupled with a piercing electronic alarm. To pedestrians in proximity to the rear of a vehicle, the sound of human speech stating "please stand clear!" is readily recognized, understood and more likely reacted to than a typical back-up beeping alarm.

The Voice of Safety for Commercial Vehicles

SafetyVOICE™ was designed to be a more effective method of preventing non-traffic pedestrian injuries and deaths that can occur around commercial trucks, delivery vans, waste management and utility vehicles, emergency vehicles, as well as school buses. The typical beeping sounds currently found on many reverse backing devices are too often ignored or not recognized, especially by young children. To effectively capture the attention of individuals and heighten pedestrian awareness, speech-enunciating technology has been employed to alert pedestrians when a vehicle is preparing for rearward motion.

Consider some statistics...

Every 1.6 minutes another driver backs into trouble. Each year in the United States alone, there are more than 300,000 reported accidents caused while vehicles were in reverse. These accidents occur in driveways, parking lots, and neighborhoods all across our country.

These catastrophes, usually causing injury to younger children, account for more than 400 deaths annually with estimated damage costs exceeding $1.3 billion. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 27% of all vehicle accidents occur during reverse. Further research has revealed 70% of these accidents could have been prevented with the use of a collision avoidance system.
