WHAT IS HFR (Human Form Recognition)?

Human Form Recognition (HFR) is an advanced AI-powered camera system designed to detect pedestrians around vehicles and heavy machinery. Using intelligent image recognition, the system identifies the shape and movement of a person, allowing fleets to monitor blind spots and high-risk areas in real time.

Unlike traditional proximity sensors that detect any nearby object, HFR technology is specifically trained to recognise human form. This significantly reduces false alerts caused by equipment, barriers or materials, while dramatically improving pedestrian safety around vehicles.

When a person enters the monitored detection zone, the system responds instantly:

• Audible alerts warn the driver inside the cab
• Visual warnings appear on the in-cab monitor
• External LED warning signs can activate to alert people nearby

As the person moves closer to the vehicle or machine, alerts increase in intensity, helping drivers react quickly and preventing potential collisions.

Integrated Safety Technology Built for Modern Fleets



At AGL Vehicle Solutions, innovation goes beyond installing cameras. Our focus is on intelligent integration, combining AI-powered safety technology with existing fleet systems to create solutions tailored to each client’s operational environment.

By connecting advanced camera technology with telematics and monitoring platforms, fleets gain greater visibility, improved operational awareness and smarter decision-making.

Security and reliability are built into every system we deploy. Our solutions are designed using security-first principles, ensuring that operational data remains protected while delivering powerful insights that improve safety and compliance.

Human Form Recognition technology plays a critical role in improving safety across high-risk industries.

• Improve Site Safety Culture
  Clear alerts and visual warnings help drivers and ground workers remain aware of potential hazards around moving vehicles.
• Adaptable for Mixed Fleets
  HFR systems can be deployed across a wide range of vehicles including HGVs, excavators, dumpers and telehandlers, making them ideal for mixed fleet environments.
• Reduce Plant-to-Pedestrian Collision Risk
  Dedicated human detection dramatically improves blind spot monitoring and helps prevent accidents in busy operational areas.

Designed for Construction, Infrastructure & Heavy Fleet Operations

Human Form Recognition systems are increasingly vital on construction sites and infrastructure projects where tight spaces, constant vehicle movement and high pedestrian activity create elevated safety risks.

With plant machinery such as excavators, dumpers, telehandlers and HGVs operating alongside ground teams, the right safety technology helps reduce plant-to-pedestrian collisions while supporting compliance with modern site safety standards.

HFR camera systems provide an additional layer of protection, helping organisations safeguard workers, reduce incident risk and maintain safer working environments.

The system connects directly into factory camera systems where available and requires no trigger configuration — meaning faster installation and reduced vehicle downtime.
