Side Radar
Bendix

Within category 41388, this Side Radar unit provides lateral sensing for advanced driver-assistance features on heavy-duty platforms. Its longitudinal dimension, specified as 999 millimeters, allows strategic placement along the vehicle side to monitor adjacent lanes, curbside hazards, and approaching traffic during maneuvers. Designed to withstand the vibration and environmental exposure common to long-haul and vocational trucks, this sensor contributes to blind-spot detection, lane-change assistance, and collision avoidance strategies by delivering reliable sideward detection data to the vehicle control system. The VMRS code 036-001-018 anchors its function in the radar-sensing family, enabling consistent part replacement and system integration within the vehicle’s safety architecture. While cross references are not listed, the unit is compatible with modern ADAS suites and fleet diagnostic workflows, supporting higher driver confidence and reduced risk in complex traffic scenarios. Practical applications include integration with automatic braking, adaptive cruise control enhancements, and enhanced situational awareness in urban, highway, and heavy-load operations. Context: category 41388.
