Kässbohrer’s patented Integrity Protection Device detects any unauthorized entry from the side, roof, floor, or door as soon as the interior space integrity is breached.  Integrity Protection Device notifies the location of the exact breach point and inner area to as many designated groups as necessary via SMS,  emails, and its optional web portal while at the same time sounding audio and visual alarms.

Kässbohrer conducted extensive R&D tests and confirmed with international transport companies’ road tests to confirm the functionality of the Integrity Protection Device in any environmental conditions such as dust resistance, water seal, electrical noise or vibration, and extreme temperature conditions from  +70 degrees to -20 degrees.

‘Integrity Protection Device’ contrasts the already in market expensive, hard to maintain, complicated, and new trailer installation requiring alternatives that are often economically not feasible for transport companies to use and solves the problem of theft and unauthorized passengers, as well as conventional solution systems’ problems.

In the ‘Safety’ category, Kässbohrer previously won the Trailer Innovation 2017 Awards with Safety Bitumen Tanker and was nominated with K.SSK Safety Tipping Silo with Smart Control.

Kässbohrer nominated Augmented Proactive Driving Support in the category ‘Concept’

Winner of Trailer Innovation 2021, second place, in category ‘ Smart’ with patented K-ADAS, driver assistance for safe maneuver in warehouse spaces, parking, take over attempts in active traffic as well as blind spot detection and 360-degree camera,

Kässbohrer continues to invest in making trailers more intelligent stepping up to autonomous driving as well as increasing road safety.

Kässbohrer has developed in-house Augmented Proactive Driving Support, which is a data-driven system to increase interactivity among vehicles and people in traffic to enable greater traffic safety is nominated in the category ‘ Concept’ for Trailer Innovation 2023 Awards.

Kässbohrer’s research finds, that digital-led lighting technologies, approved by European road authorities, can be used to increase interactivity among traffic participants and promote proactive safety. Kässbohrer Augmented Pro-active Driving Support is developed with the aim of preventing road accidents as well as prevention of health and safety risks during loading and unloading operations. Kässbohrer Augmented Proactive Driving Support can function in alignment with Trailer Innovation Award 2021 winner category ‘Smart’ second place Kässbohrer K-ADAS and truck ADAS systems.

Kässbohrer Augmented Proactive Driving Support is a system consisting of cameras and sensors installed on the trailer that gathers speed, road signs, and warning data from the surrounding traffic. The data collected is processed and images are generated. These images are then projected on the road via controllable led light systems installed around and the rear of the trailer, with the aim of timely informing its surrounding of the trailers driving status and warning in case of more dangerous situations.

Kässbohrer nominated 360 Degree Experience of Digital Twins in the category ‘Smart’

Kässbohrer invests in digital technologies to aid its development of efficient and safe semi-trailers. 360 Degree Experience of Digital twins by Kässbohrer, with its use of 3D modeling to hyper realistically, render the R&D digital twin of the widest product range in Europe, enables faster and more efficient product assessments and development and has been nominated for the Trailer Innovation Awards in the category ‘Smart’.

At Kässbohrer, product development after thorough due diligence of customer needs already involves digital modeling of the vehicle which goes through digital tests to aid physical vehicles. Kässbohrer has now leveraged the digital twin into a promotion and education tool, a first in the trailer industry.

By incorporating advanced realistic 3D imaging to the R&D generated digital twin, Kässbohrer has realistically rendered examples from Europe’s widest product range in their respective operational settings and made them available online as 360-degree website experiences.

With its biggest participation to date, to accommodate Europe’s widest product range, Kässbohrer is taking its place at IAA Transportation 2022, in Hall 27 Stand E11, as well as open area stands K51 and M49. Kässbohrer will showcase its innovations to its customers and stakeholder between 20-25 September, in Hannover Germany.
