NCTR Camera Vision System Study

Study that compared Velvac camera-based vision systems (65° FOV) with mirrors alone, and concluded that the majority of drivers agreed that cameras can eliminate blind zones, and that 100° FOV cameras provided too much info to drivers; 65° provided just the right amount. It noted that Velvac camera-based vision systems are the only solutions in the market that meet the requirements chosen.

CUTR Evaluation of Camera-Based Systems to Reduce Transit Bus Side Collisions

A recent research study conducted by the Center for Urban Transportation and Research (CUTR), which evaluated the effectiveness of mirror-based, sensor-based and camera-based systems for side collision avoidance. They concluded that camera-based vision systems, similar to the ones offered by Velvac, can not only eliminate blind spots, but also significantly improve visibility in all inclement weather conditions, allowing the driver to perceive distances and distinguish objects correctly.
