ETS are inviting interest from companies, individuals or interested partners looking to take forward the hydrant guard airport refueling safety system.

�
�
The aircraft refuelling safety system “Hydrant Guard” was developed at the request of a major oil company following a series of incidents involving impact damage to hydrant connections during the refuelling process as a result of heavy traffic activity around aircrafts. Major airports refuel aircraft using an underground pipe system where fuel is supplied under high pressure to a hydrant located in the ground at each aircraft stand position.  The largest fuel tanker you will see on the motorway carries 38,000 litres - it would take 5 tankers to fuel a jumbo jet (180,000 litres). Modern international airports use underground high-pressure systems for refuelling aircraft. A connection is made between the underground network and the aircraft via a truck. It is this connection that is most vulnerable during the fuelling process. If a collision with another vehicle did occur and cause a fuel leak, it is not a simple matter of automatically shutting down a valve. A simple fracture in an above ground fuel conduit can therefore cause an uncontrolled gusher of fuel, which will almost certainly catch fire. The potentially catastrophic consequences of this happening close to fuel-laden aircraft need no elaboration.

Hydrant Guard is a fully patented stand-alone proactive system which shuts off the fuel to an aircraft when it detects an obstacle approaching. There are no recognised or acknowledged competitors within this product field. The prototype product has undertaken and successfully completed field trial evaluations with Shell at Gatwick Airport and has received the unqualified support and acceptance by the airport authority. To date £315,000 has been invested, including a SMART award of £60,000. The target market is the major re-fuelling operators, various safety committees and airport authorities worldwide.

“side sweep” incidents cost the UK over 400 lives per annum and is becoming a growing concern to left hand drive vehicles in the UK and right hand vehicles abroad.  Side Sweeping is the name to a growing threat that faces the Industry with increasing road traffic volumes and a general public unwilling to appreciate the difficulties faced by the LGV, bus or coach driver.
The problem is two fold meaning that Left hand drive vehicles driving in the UK and right hand drive vehicles driving on the continent are unable to fully appreciate obstacles or traffic alongside their vehicle and the driver must divert attention from the road to see across the entire width of the vehicle before manoeuvring still leaving the danger of the blind spot.

New rules, now require vehicles over 3.5 tonnes to be installed with high visibility mirrors which help but have obvious disadvantages.   While a mirror gives the driver a clear view of the area visible through the glass, the driver still has to look across the width of the vehicle to view the mirror thus taking his/her eye off the road ahead.

Companies have the option of flat or convex mirrors both with disadvantages while a flat mirror gives a restricted field of vision a convex mirror gives a wider but distorted view of distances and both are subject to reflection and dazzle.

Inventors at European Transport Solutions have now developed a low cost ‘fixed’ camera system giving the driver a full view of the ‘side sweep’ blind spot.  Pictures are so clear from this colour camera system that drivers can be in no doubt of hazards on UK or European roads.�
Michael Leigh company director explains “a camera gives a clear view of the field of vision, which can be set according to what information is required by the driver such as a wide angle. The driver has the screen mounted on the dashboard directly in his/her line of vision whilst looking at the road ahead which provides a much safer option for similar costs”.   �

The ETS Week number system is a simple and complete vehicle maintenance system.  It works on numbers and will ensure your depot and fleet operate within the correct guidelines. 

When placed into practice the system is not only faultless it is incredibly simple and foolproof, informing transport operatives of the current week number when used in conjunction with week number stickers applied to plant vehicles and trailers.

The system was initially developed for a national chain of dairy suppliers and is now used throughout the company due to its effectiveness.

The reversing dilemma for commercial vehicles on today’s highways presents an increasing threat to operators, with figures suggesting over 30% of commercial accidents occurring while the vehicle is reversing.

Picking up potential dangers behind a vehicle without a banksman can be an impossible operation for the driver, which is why this type of accident continues to represent the most common cause of incident according to insurance companies. 

ETS have developed an innovative solution to this continuing challenge that doesn’t have to rely on wires and will allow drivers complete reversing freedom with a monitor acting as a third mirror and an all seeing eye behind the vehicle.

Picture quality from the digital cameras is exceptional with an impressive 420 TV Lines, operating in pitch black light conditions giving crystal clear images with a wide angle viewing lens.

The cameras are heated, incorporate anti-shake filters to provide a consistently stable picture and are weather proof.  The monitor has a flat screen ensuring a neat installation and it includes an adjustable mounting bracket which enables the monitor to be angled for optimum driver position.  Drivers also benefit from a mirror image picture and because its radio linked there are no wires”.

 A few years ago we received several enquiries from companies having issues with drivers who were not muting their reversing alarms during the evening to comply with road vehicle horn regulations.  Many companies link the reversing alarm to the vehicle light circuit so that when the lights are on the sounder is muted; this can cause problems especially in dusk conditions when the vehicle lights are on as during this time the reversing sounder will be muted when it is most needed.

Nightguard is a result of the research and development in this area of compliance to present the most practical solution to the problem.

NightGuard is a device that automatically mutes the reversing alarm during the night to comply with road vehicle regulations. NightGuard uses the latest GPS technology eliminating any driver input

This system takes away the responsibility from the driver to mute the reverse sounder and keeps your company compliant with the road vehicle construction and use regulations.
