Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems announced the video camera component of its Wingman Fusion collision mitigation technology and AutoVue lane departure warning system will remain compliant with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules, following an exemption that was recently made permanent.

LAS VEGAS — A marketing video by Navistar Inc. demonstrated the company’s interest in regaining the business of over-the-road fleets by including extended visits with drivers from J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Mesilla Valley Transportation and Cowan Systems — all members of the Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largest for-hire carriers in the United States and Canada.

It’s a dire warning for a truck driver who has taken a wrong turn — a banner hanging over the roadway reading, “If you hit this sign you will hit that bridge.”

Carriers are using a variety of technologies and in-house systems to help monitor and improve their scores under the federal Compliance, Safety, Accountability program.
