DVS PSS Camera Systems for Safer, Compliant Fleets
AI-powered blind spot detection and driver alerts for HGV compliance
Upgrade a HGV blind-spot safety with Progressive Safe System (PSS) camera solutions.
Reduce risk to vulnerable road users, improve driver awareness, and help keep your fleet working in London.
What is DVS – and why does it matter?
Direct Vision Standard (DVS)
The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) measures how much a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) driver can see directly through their cab windows — without relying on mirrors or cameras.
It is part of London’s road safety strategy to reduce collisions involving vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.
Where direct visibility is limited, additional safety systems — such as a Progressive Safe System (PSS) — are required to improve driver awareness and reduce blind-spot risks.
Why it matters for fleets:
- Improved awareness around the vehicle reduces blind-spot incidents
- Operating compliant vehicles helps fleets continue working in regulated zones
- Warning systems and recorded footage can support incident investigation and reduce claim disputes
Benefits of a DVS PSS Camera Solution
DVS / PSS Readiness
Ensure your fleet operates safely within regulated zones by supporting Direct Vision Standard expectations and improving overall compliance posture.
Blind-Spot Detection
Identify pedestrians and cyclists in high-risk areas around the vehicle, particularly near-side and front blind spots where incidents commonly occur.
Driver Alerts
Provide real-time visual and audible in-cab warnings during moving-off, turning and low-speed manoeuvres to improve driver awareness.
Evidence on Demand
Access clear, high-definition footage to support incident reviews, protect drivers, and reduce insurance claim disputes.
DVS PSS Camera System Options
How DVS / PSS Works for your fleet?

- Vulnerable road user detection
- Driving Alerts for moving - off + turns
- Clear evidence for review
- UK-wide support from AGL
DVS / PSS FAQs
Do cameras replace mirrors?
No — camera systems are designed to enhance visibility, not replace mirrors.
They provide:
- Coverage of critical blind spots
- Real-time alerts for pedestrians and cyclists
- Additional evidence through recorded footage
The safest setup combines mirrors, cameras, and driver awareness systems.
What happens if my vehicle is not compliant?
Operating a non-compliant HGV in London can result in:
- Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs)
- Restricted access to key delivery areas
- Operational disruption
Ensuring your fleet meets DVS/PSS requirements avoids fines and keeps vehicles on the road.
Can AGL install DVS / PSS systems across the UK?
Yes — AGL provides nationwide supply and installation across the UK.
We support:
- Single vehicle installs
- Multi-site fleet rollouts
- Ongoing system support and maintenance
How do DVS camera systems improve safety?
DVS camera systems use AI and sensors to:
- Detect pedestrians and cyclists in blind spots
- Alert drivers in real time
- Reduce collisions during turning or moving off
This helps create a safer driving environment in urban areas.
Can this integrate with my existing fleet tracking system?
Yes — many DVS camera systems can integrate with:
- Fleet tracking platforms
- Telematics systems
- Driver behaviour monitoring tools
This gives you a single view of safety, compliance, and vehicle data.
Do I need DVS if I don’t operate in London?
DVS is currently enforced in London, but many fleets adopt these systems nationwide to:
- Improve safety standards
- Reduce accident risk
- Future-proof compliance as regulations evolve
