It transforms existing vehicle camera systems into intelligent pedestrian detection solutions without the need to replace existing hardware.
Originally developed for vehicles operating in construction sector, but equally effective for on-road commercial transportation, the AI HFR Box is installed between a vehicle’s camera and monitor and uses software to process video and identify the presence of vulnerable road users (VRUs), triggering visual and audible alerts. Having been developed for use on job sites, it guarantees reliable performance whatever the terrain or weather conditions.
The system is plug-and-play and supports both CVBS and AHD signals, maintaining compatibility across a broad range of legacy and modern fleets. It has multiple camera inputs to support wider field coverage, ideal for larger vehicles or higher-risk operating zones.
AI cameras demonstrated significant safety benefits, but the cost of replacing entire systems across a fleet has been a major barrier to their adoption. With the AI HFR Box, fleet managers can achieve enhanced safety performance at reduced expense, with minimal installation time.
The key benefits of the AI HFR Box include:
- Safety enhancement – AI-enabled detection of VRUs, such as pedestrians and workers, ensures fast operator response to real-time risks, especially in urban areas or busy job sites.
- Reduction of environmental impact – by eliminating the need to replace monitors, cameras, or cables, the product cuts down on electronic waste.
- Cost efficiency – minimal installation time and no system reconfiguration mean vehicles can be upgraded without lengthy downtime.
- Broad market suitability – applicable across construction, waste, municipal, road transportation and other commercial sectors.
Corey Heniser, CEO of Brigade Electronics Inc. said:
«The AI HFR Box represents a practical and forward-thinking approach to fleet safety. By converting existing camera systems into intelligent human form recognition solutions, we are making advanced AI technology more accessible, sustainable, and cost-effective for operators. It is a meaningful step forward in supporting safer roads and job sites across North America.»
