Load verification
RF-ID and barcode reading check that the product has been loaded onto the correct vehicle; a wrong load is caught at the ramp.

Logistics vehicle safety systems
Safety in logistics is not solved by a single device. Crash prevention, cargo security, driver safety and regulatory compliance are different questions; they ask for different hardware and different rule sets. This page explains how the four layers are built together.
We develop all four layers at our own R&D centre. In practice that means there is no integration interface between them. The event produced by the blind spot radar, the footage from the camera, the position from telemetry and the driver's score all merge into the same data model.
- Blind Spot Radar
- ADAS
- 360° Camera
- Geofence
- RF-ID Load Verification
- Door and Temperature Monitoring
- Fatigue Detection
- Driver Scoring
- ADR Compliance
- Event-Based Recording
- Cloud Archive
- Automatic Camera Management
01 LAYERS
Safety is not one device,
Safety is not one device,
it is four separate questions
Each layer addresses a different risk; none of them substitutes for another.
| Layer | The question it asks | System used |
|---|---|---|
| Crash prevention | Can we warn before the collision happens? | Blind spot radar, ADAS, 360-degree camera |
| Cargo security | Right product, right vehicle, right place? | Geofence, RF-ID load verification, door and temperature monitoring |
| Driver safety | Is the driver driving safely, are they tired? | Cabin camera, behaviour analysis, driver scoring |
| Regulatory compliance | Do we have evidence in front of the regulator? | Event-based recording, ADR monitoring, automatic camera management |
Fleets usually install one of these layers and assume the safety problem is solved. The most common example is a camera installation: recordings are made, evidence is found when a crash happens, yet the number of crashes does not change. Recording is not a prevention mechanism.
Installing the layers together means this: the blind spot radar warns before the manoeuvre, the camera records the event, telemetry supplies its location and speed, and the driver score turns it into a pattern. All four are different faces of the same event.
02 CRASH PREVENTION
Recording comes after the event,
Recording comes after the event,
the warning comes before
In heavy vehicles most of the crash risk forms in the area the driver cannot see.
- Blind spot radar: Pedestrians, animals and vehicles in the front, side and rear blind spots are detected by radar sensor; an audible and visual warning is produced in the cab.
- Working in poor visibility: Radar keeps detecting at night, in fog, in rain and in direct sunlight; the layer stays active in the conditions where cameras struggle.
- ADAS warnings: Lane departure and tailgating are detected through image analysis; the driver is warned before the collision.
- 360-degree coverage: Front, rear and two side cameras are positioned so their fields of view overlap; no corner is left that a mirror cannot show.
- Event recording: All detected blind spot and ADAS events are stored with a timestamp; driver-level risk analysis is produced from that record.
- Manoeuvre support: Manoeuvring in a narrow street, backing onto a ramp and reversing all stay within continuous coverage.
Camera placement, the MDVR recording infrastructure and image analysis are explained in detail on a separate page.
03 CARGO SECURITY
Right product, right vehicle,
Right product, right vehicle,
right place
Cargo loss arises mostly not from theft but from an unverified transaction.
Geofence control
Loading and unloading are verified to happen only in defined authorised zones; an attempt outside the zone is detected instantly and the centre is notified automatically.
Door and compartment monitoring
Door open and closed status and tanker compartment data are monitored continuously; an unexpected opening is produced as an event.
Cargo condition monitoring
Cargo compartment temperature in the cold chain and drum rotation data in concrete transport are tracked; product quality is followed in the data, not in the field.
Delivery confirmation
The driver confirms the delivery on the in-vehicle tablet; waybill information and the reason for any deviation reach the centre immediately and the paper process disappears.
04 DRIVER SAFETY
Safety cannot be managed
Safety cannot be managed
without measuring behaviour
Crash statistics describe the past; behaviour data shows the future.
The driver safety layer collects nineteen parameters from telemetry and cabin camera into a single risk index. Speed, engine revolutions, harsh braking, harsh cornering and idling are read from vehicle data; fatigue, phone use, seatbelt and smoking from cabin footage.
Scoring is normalised by distance, so the driver who covers the most ground is not punished for it. The scoring module ranks that score within the fleet, produces period comparisons and shows per driver which violation type dominates.
How driver scoring is calculated, all nineteen parameters and a sample period report are covered on a separate page.
05 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Producing evidence
Producing evidence
in front of the regulator
Compliance is not a declaration, it is a record.
Dangerous goods transport
Smoking detection, fatigue monitoring and driver working hour tracking become critical; geofence verifies that filling and discharge take place in the authorised zone.
Event-based archive
Critical footage is recorded with a timestamp and backed up to the cloud; evidence is ready when dispute and damage processes arrive.
Automatic camera management
Facilities where recording is prohibited are marked on the map once; cameras switch off automatically when the vehicle enters the boundary and back on when it leaves. The moment of switching is logged.
Cold chain record
Temperature values are stored with a timestamp and can be reported; the records requested under HACCP are produced from this data.
06 INSTALLATION
Not all at once,
Not all at once,
layer by layer
Installation can start with a single vehicle; layers are commissioned independently.
Starting with telemetry
Position, CAN-bus data and geofence form the first layer. On its own it already delivers a significant part of cargo security and the telemetry side of the driver score.
The camera layer
When 360-degree coverage and the cabin camera are added, event recording, visual evidence and behaviour analysis come into play; the scope of the driver score widens.
Blind spot radar
The prevention layer is added. Because it also works in conditions where cameras struggle, it is decisive particularly in urban and manoeuvre-heavy operations.
Rules and scoring
Geofence rules, alarm thresholds and scoring weights are defined according to the operation; which violation counts as critical changes by sector.
07 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
about logistics vehicle safety
The questions we meet most often in project discussions.
What do logistics vehicle safety systems cover?
There are four layers. Crash prevention: blind spot radar, ADAS and 360-degree camera coverage. Cargo security: geofence control, RF-ID load verification, door and temperature monitoring. Driver safety: behaviour and fatigue analysis, scoring. Regulatory compliance: ADR monitoring, event-based recording and automatic camera management in areas where recording is prohibited.
What is the difference between crash prevention and post-crash recording?
Recording produces evidence after the event; it speeds up dispute and damage processes but does not prevent the event. The prevention layer warns the driver before a manoeuvre or collision through mechanisms such as blind spot radar, lane departure and tailgating alerts. The two are installed together.
How is cargo security ensured?
Geofence control verifies that loading and unloading happen only in authorised zones; an attempt outside the zone is detected immediately. RF-ID and barcode reading check that the product has been loaded onto the correct vehicle. Door status and cargo compartment temperature are monitored continuously.
What additional measures does ADR transport require?
In dangerous goods transport, smoking detection, fatigue monitoring and driver working hour tracking become critical. Geofence verifies that filling and discharge take place in the authorised zone; all critical footage is recorded with a timestamp and backed up to the cloud.
Can these systems be retrofitted to an existing fleet?
Yes. Installation can start with a single vehicle and spread across the fleet; existing vehicles are adapted with additional hardware. Layers can be commissioned independently — telemetry first, then cameras, then blind spot radar; all of them come together on the same platform.
Do you manufacture the hardware as well?
Yes. Telemetry boards, camera and recording devices, driving safety modules and sensor interfaces are designed and manufactured at our own R&D centre in Seferihisar, İzmir. That is why there is no integration interface between the layers; all of them run on the same data model.
08 CONTACT
Let us decide together which layer to start with
We assess your fleet's vehicle types, the cargo you carry and the regulations you are subject to. All four layers do not have to be installed at once; starting with the layer that carries the highest risk is usually the better move.
Get in touch for detailed information, project consultancy and demo requests. Our technical team is ready to plan the scope of the installation according to your fleet size and operating conditions.
