Refuse work is dangerous work. Your environment includes crowded urban streets, blind intersections, and busy residential areas where children play and families live – which means nothing is more important than safety.
Enter Autocar's ADAM (Advanced Driver Assist Module), the first fully OEM-integrated Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) custom-engineered exclusively for the refuse and recycling industry.
ADAM delivers 360-degree protection that enhances driver awareness and reduces the risk of accidents in high-traffic, high-risk work zones.
The system is directly integrated into the truck's infrastructure, designed to work with instead of around existing safety features like anti-lock brakes, and fine-tuned to the unique challenges and requirements of refuse work – unlike mass-market solutions that can't quite get it done.
ADAM has your back, front, and everything else.
What you can’t see can hurt – and be hurt. Adaptive sensors monitor your blind spots and deliver alerts in real time, combating vulnerability with visibility.
Our system detects hazards and brakes automatically – faster than a driver can react – which is ideal for busy, stop-and-go refuse work.
ADAM instantly warns drivers of vulnerable road users in the truck’s danger zone, which means safer streets and neighborhoods.
Refuse trucks across North America perform over 1,000,000 reverse actions per day, and these reverse actions are responsible for the majority of incidents for refuse fleet operators. ADAM helps mitigate collisions in reverse by automatically braking if it detects something – or someone – in the way.
When trucks leave the road unexpectedly, tragedy can strike. ADAM will slow the truck to a halt if it detects the vehicle leaving the roadway, even without driver intervention.
