Side Radar Assembly
Bendix

Side radar assembly delivers proactive sensing for collision avoidance and blind-spot monitoring by extending situational awareness to the vehicle’s flanks. The module footprint is specified as 139.45 mm square with a depth of 268.70 mm, designed for robust mounting on side panels or door/fender areas where exposure to weather and vibration is common. Acting as a sensor assembly in a side-based collision avoidance system, it interprets radar returns to compute relative position, velocity, and potential trajectory of nearby objects, feeding the central safety controller and alerting drivers through visual or audible cues. VMRS code 036-001-011 categorizes this unit within radar-based sensing and collision avoidance subsystems, aiding technicians in identifying compatible housings, harnesses, and calibration workflows. Benefits include enhanced lane-change confidence, reduced risk of side-impact incidents, and improved predictive braking decisions when paired with vehicle stability and adaptive cruise controls. This part is typically installed on trailers and tractors with safety-compliant sensor networks, and post-installation calibration is essential to maintain measurement accuracy across temperature and road conditions. The lack of cross references requires confirmation against vehicle-level wiring diagrams and alignment procedures; category 41388 places it in safety sensor subsystems for modern heavy-duty fleets.
