Commercial Truck Insurance - Upcoming
Safety Technology
As commercial truck insurance premiums increase due to
things like accidents and costs of replacing parts of the
fleet or cargo, so too does the new technologies that are
created to help prevent accidents from occurring and will
greatly help to reduce premium costs. These technologies
come out every so often, and as of now there are quite a
few that are available which you might not have on any of
your fleet vehicles.
To start off with we have the electronic stability control
which is an integral part of truck safety standards and while
this is not exactly a new technology, it is newer then many
of the trucks currently on the road. This particular accident
prevention technology will actively select the brakes that
are applied in order to slow the truck down faster and safer
versus the traditional methods of braking.
Some of the newer and more expensive truck models now
come with a pre-collision system where the system senses
other nearby obstacles and determines if they are a threat
to your vehicle or not. These systems will take a number of
active measures to prevent accidents including the
activation of the vehicle's brakes among many other
available preventative measures.
The adaptive cruise control is capable of regulating a
vehicle's speed and uses a built-in radar detection system
to monitor obstacles in the road such as other vehicles and
will accelerate or apply the brakes based on an advanced
computerized calculation that has determined a potential
threat and works to remedy the course.
You also have the lane departure warning system which
uses specialized cameras to determine if you are leaving
the lane you are in and makes the decision to alert you in
the event that the vehicles turn indicators are not currently
active. This system has proven to be successful at
awakening drivers who become drowsy due to excessive
hours behind the wheel.
From the brake assist that helps to stop a truck based on
the pressure the brake pedal is pushed, to blind spot
detection systems that prevent lane changes when a
vehicle is hiding in the truck's blind spots. You can now
even get night vision capabilities for those late night routes
as well as sensors that can determine if the truck is
unstable and could potentially roll over.
All of these intelligent systems and a whole lot more are
available, and when used accurately, they can not only
prevent accidents, but they can greatly reduce your
commercial truck insurance premiums due to a decrease
in the potential risk your fleet is on the roads. While some
of the newer and more sophisticated vehicles have many
of these already built into the truck, the large majority of
older vehicles do not. However you can usually get these
installed in virtually any vehicle if you want.
