Rosco Vision’s Technology Bus Goes on Tour! Bringing the Trade Show to You
NEW YORK - OCTOBER 28, 2021
Earlier this month, Rosco hosted a “Bring the Show to You” Technology Bus Tour using a Thomas C-2 school bus provided by Irvin Raphael located in NJ. The Technology Bus outfitted with Rosco’s latest technology made its way through multiple states, stopping at different locations to conduct live demos of Rosco safety products.
The Bus Tour started in Indianapolis, IN where Rosco featured the Technology Bus at the STN Conference. From there, Midwest Bus Sales hosted the Rosco Tech Bus in St. Louis, Missouri; Shawnee, Kansas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Jonesboro, Arkansas respectively. For the southeast leg of the tour, the Technology Bus made stops in Nashville, Tennessee, Norcross, Georgia, Hopkins, South Carolina, and Greensboro, North Carolina, closing out the tour in Evington, Virginia during School Bus Safety Week.
The Rosco Technology Bus featured vision safety products including the Mobileye® 8 Connect, the Dual-Vision® DVXC4, the Eye-Max® LED downlit crossview mirror, the Safe-T-Scope™ 360 HD, and the new mirrorless system. The Rosco DCMS (digital camera monitor system) is a new technology engineered to replace traditional exterior rearview mirrors with clearer, wider views for better blind spot coverage. The Mobileye® 8 Connect prevents and/or mitigates collisions by providing drivers with audio and visual warnings of potential hazards on the road. The DVXC4 continuously monitors and captures driving behavior while simultaneously providing real-time driver feedback. Rosco’s Eye-Max LED provides illumination for better visibility for the driver during low light conditions. With the use of automated triggers, the Safe-T-Scope 360 gives drivers 2D and 3D views to cover all the blind zones around the school bus.
During the week of October 18th, Rosco participated in School Bus Safety Week. While this year's theme was "Be Safe, Know the Danger Zone,” Rosco featured multiple safety tips on all of their social media pages to address the importance of school bus safety, in and around the bus. Safety tips included reminding drivers to be careful around railroad crossings because school buses are legally required to stop at them and another encouraged children to walk 10 feet in front of the hood of the bus to ensure drivers can see them.
