AI pedestrian recognition
The Intellisense pedestrian recognition system is designed to detect any pedestrians within a pre-set proximity of the machine. When detected there are audible and visual warnings inside the cabin for the operator and externally to warn anyone in the immediate vicinity. The system uses four cameras - three giving 270 degrees AI camera coverage around the sides and rear of the machine and a standard forward facing camera. Intellisense will initially be available on the 4,000kg/14 metre 540-140 and 3,500kg/12.5 metre 535-125 telehandlers.

Full integration with JCB’s LiveLink telematics system allows data to be accessed from a single source with machine and cloud data storage as standard. It also provides an alert button that allows the operator to record a 10 second data segment that is automatically stored.
