MANTIS has an AI camera system built for the Direct Vision Standard 2024 requirements in Greater London.

DVS rates how much a driver can see directly from the cab. Below the minimum star rating, the vehicle needs a safe system fitted for the permit to stand.

What it does

**Coverage around the vehicle.** The multi-camera setup covers the blind spots DVS is concerned with, rather than the road ahead.

**Vulnerable road user detection.** Real-time identification of cyclists and pedestrians close to the vehicle, which is the situation the standard exists for.

**Alerts in the cab and in the office.** The driver gets a warning while it still matters. The fleet team sees the pattern afterwards.

**Room to change.** DVS has already moved once and will move again. What gets fitted now should be able to take an update rather than a replacement.

Beyond the permit

A system specified only for compliance gets used only for compliance. The same coverage that satisfies DVS is what defends a driver when a cyclist claims they were cut up, and what shows a transport manager which junctions keep producing near misses.

Compliance is the reason most fleets start. It is rarely the reason they keep it.
