ARCOL: the eMirror system for safer bus operations [Sponsored]

Safety is Arcol‘s focus, developing accessories that improve and facilitate safe driving.

During these 80 years of presence in the industry, Arcol has evolved hand in hand with the needs of its customers and market requirements. From the launch of the rear-view mirror represented by a flat mirror and a stick to the camera monitoring system designed under the new technologies that exist today.

The emblematic rear-view mirrors have evolved significantly over time, from its humble beginnings as a simple reflective device to the technologically advanced systems we have today: in design, in features, in measures, … and all of them can be customized according to the needs of the clients.

Nowadays, these camera-based systems have become a must for the electrical vehicles. The eMirror system, the CMS by Arcol, allows new and better benefits, among others, we can highlight the better maneuverability thanks to its compact design, currently, this is the most compact model of the market; the essential II and IV categories can be extended to V and VI; it allows for a wider field of view and minimizes blind spots what reduces the visual stress of the driver.

These benefits could not be obtained if they were not harbored by a few key characteristics such as the Water Repellent (Hydrophobic) or the Anti-Dust Lens treatment and HDR (High Dynamic Range) in the cameras. Focusing on the monitor, we could underline the Anti-glare, anti-reflecting and anti-finger surface treatment or Auto dimming of the backlight, for example.

This system can be connected by Can-bus and for this reason we can also add the Joystick to adjust the functionalities of the heating, V/VI camera selection, brighten and vehicle lines.

This system has IP 69K certified cameras and the approvals R46, R10 and R118.

The eMirror system is under constant development with the possibility of incorporating new functionalities such as ADAS.
