ASA/Voyager Camera Systems
Booth 2341
Voyager AIO is the genesis of a safer trucking universe. Voyager has brought forth the next generation of commercial vehicle safety by creating an all-encompassing technological ecosystem that redefines what it means to be safe on the road.
To be safe is to be aware, and nobody knows this better than Voyager. Voyager AIO allows various safety solutions to work autonomously using a proprietary CAN Bus communication protocol. Voyager AIO is built for adaptability, making it the smart choice for an ever-evolving fleet and its drivers.
Different fleets have different needs. Invest only in the features you need without allocating resources to those you don’t. Voyager AIO is a scalable technology that can be designed specifically to fit the needs of any fleet of any size.
- Traffic detection alerts drivers of oncoming cross-traffic and objects in or near blind spots. Alerts are based on vehicle speed so that drivers are notified on the go.
- Gain total visibility for fleet vehicles using Voyager cameras. View from any angle, up to and including a 360° image-stitched perspective of surroundings from inside the cab.
- Receive live footage of the vehicle’s front and rear when shifting out of park. Sensors alert drivers of any objects in the vehicle’s path.
- The condition of the vehicle and its cargo is kept up to par when drivers are immediately alerted of a failed brake light, low tire pressure, an obstructed sensor and more.
Voyager is a pioneer of commercial vehicle observation and safety. We strive to develop products that don’t just meet our customers’ expectations but exceed them, offering them more options than they’ve ever imagined. Voyager AIO is no different.
