How BLIS functions in daylight and darkness
Daylight
BLIS reacts to the shape of surrounding vehicles.
The system is designed to help detect motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, etc.
Darkness
BLIS reacts to the headlights of surrounding vehicles. In order to be detected by BLIS, a vehicle in the blind area must have its headlights on. This means, for example, that the system will not detect a trailer without headlights that is being towed behind a car or truck.
WARNING
• BLIS does not react to cyclists or
mopeds.
• BLIS does not react to vehicles that are
standing still.
• The BLIS cameras have the same limitation
as the human eye. In other words,
their "vision is impaired" by adverse
weather conditions such as heavy
snowfall, intense light directly into the
camera, dense fog, etc.
