Automatic Braking in Response to Hazards on Construction Sites

On construction sites, trucks, loaders, dump trucks, cranes, and pedestrians are constantly moving among one another. Despite cameras and detection systems, a single moment of inattention is enough to cause a serious accident.

With EasyBrake, Rietveld introduces an innovative safety solution that goes beyond simply issuing warnings. As an extension of EasyView and EasyDetect , the system—on compatible vehicles—automatically applies the brakes when a person is detected in the danger zone and the driver does not react in time. In this way, EasyBrake helps prevent accidents, injuries, and downtime.

Vehicles are becoming safer and safer, but a single moment of inattention can have serious consequences.

Do these challenges sound familiar to you?

EasyBrake provides an extra layer of safety when every second counts.

What is EasyBrake?

EasyBrake is not a standalone safety system, but rather the next step in Rietveld’s Fleet Safety program.

The safety chain consists of:

  • EasyView → the driver sees more.
  • EasyDetect → AI detects people and issues a warning.
  • EasyBrake → if the driver does not react, the vehicle brakes automatically.

That is precisely the unique strength of the solution

This makes EasyBrake fundamentally different from traditional camera or detection systems.

From Observation to Action

Together, these solutions form a single, integrated Fleet Safety system.

Safety on the Construction Site

The risk of collisions is one of the greatest safety hazards in the construction industry.

Vehicles, machinery, and pedestrians often operate simultaneously in the same space. As a result, there is a growing focus on active safety systems. The Governance Code for Safety in Construction (GCVB) identifies the risk of collisions as one of the five most significant safety risks in the sector. (gc-veiligheid.nl)

EasyBrake helps organizations further mitigate this risk by not only issuing warnings but also—when necessary—automatically intervening.

Frequently Asked Questions About EasyBrake

Does EasyBrake work on its own?
No. EasyBrake is an extension of EasyDetect / EasyView. The cameras and AI detection first identify a dangerous situation, after which EasyBrake can automatically intervene—if necessary.
On which vehicles does EasyBrake work?

The automatic braking feature has been developed for compatible Volvo vehicles. Please contact Rietveld to discuss which vehicles are compatible.

Are RedLines a detection system?

No. RedLine projects a clear safety line on the ground and warns bystanders to stay out of the danger zone. It is a preventive safety solution, not a detection system.

What is the difference between EasyDetect and EasyBrake?

EasyDetect detects people and obstacles and alerts the driver. EasyBrake goes a step further and can automatically apply the brakes if the driver does not respond.

Is EasyBrake suitable for the construction industry?

Yes. EasyBrake was developed specifically for high-risk work environments such as construction sites, where vehicles and pedestrians operate in close proximity to one another.

How much does EasyBrake cost?

Rates depend on the number and type of vehicles. Since Rietveld positions itself as a partner, we prefer to discuss your needs first and provide you with a customized, no-obligation quote.
