Brigade is helping fleet operators prepare for the growing demand for Human Form Recognition in a cost-effective and sustainable way.
As organisations across multiple industries continue to strengthen their approach to vehicle and pedestrian safety, Human Form Recognition (HFR) technology is rapidly becoming an important part of reducing collision risks around commercial vehicles, mobile plant and machinery.
Wherever vehicles operate alongside pedestrians – from logistics centres and warehouses to construction sites, ports, airports, utilities, waste operations, agriculture and public highways – blind spots remain one of the biggest safety challenges facing fleet operators.
As organisations continue investing in safer fleet operations, there is growing recognition that intelligent safety technologies capable of detecting people around vehicles and providing real-time alerts can play an important role in helping operators reduce the risk of collisions.

Many organisations are now reviewing how Human Form Recognition technology can be introduced across existing fleets. However, for many operators, the challenge lies in upgrading vehicle safety systems without the cost, downtime and unnecessary waste associated with replacing complete camera systems.
Brigade Electronics says retrofit technology is becoming increasingly important as businesses look for practical ways to improve safety standards while maintaining operational efficiency and supporting sustainability objectives.
Jordan Marshall, Brigade’s UK Marketing Manager, says:
“Human Form Recognition is becoming an increasingly important consideration for organisations looking to improve vehicle safety across a wide range of industries.
“As businesses continue to strengthen their safety strategies, many fleet operators are looking for practical ways to prepare for evolving customer expectations, industry standards and internal safety objectives without the disruption and cost of replacing entire camera systems.
“This is where Brigade’s new AI HFR Box comes in as a cost-effective, practical and sustainable solution for upgrading existing systems with Human Form Recognition.”
Brigade’s recently launched AI HFR Box enables fleets to upgrade existing safety camera systems with AI-powered Human Form Recognition technology, allowing operators to retain their current camera infrastructure while adding intelligent people detection capabilities.
This retrofit approach offers significant advantages for organisations managing commercial vehicle, plant and machinery fleets already equipped with safety cameras.
By avoiding the need to remove and replace functioning hardware, businesses can reduce installation costs, minimise vehicle downtime and extend the lifespan of existing safety systems, helping support both financial and environmental objectives.
The approach also aligns with the growing emphasis on sustainability, circular economy principles and reducing unnecessary electronic waste across fleet operations.
“The Brigade AI HFR Box provides a more cost-effective and sustainable route to introducing Human Form Recognition technology because it allows businesses to upgrade existing safety cameras with AI capability rather than starting from scratch. That means less downtime, less waste and a more accessible way for fleets to improve safety standards across their operations.”
The system uses AI-powered analysis to identify human forms around vehicles and provide real-time visual and audible alerts to operators, helping reduce the risk of collisions wherever people and vehicles work in close proximity.
