VUE helps Vans for Bands reduce vehicle damage through CCTV and telematics

VUE’s vehicle CCTV and video telematics have been helping passenger transport supplier, Vans for Bands, to maintain its exceptionally high brand reputation and reduce vehicle damage.

The organisation has the largest fleet of splitter vans and band vans for hire in the UK and offers a range of sleeper buses for touring artists and crew.

Damages to buses as a result of bumps and crashes while drivers are out on the roads or after attempting to reverse in tight spaces at venues, pose a variety of issues such as significant repair costs, the challenge of finding a slot in a body shop, and vehicle downtime.

Visible dents on a vehicle can also have an impact on a customer’s perception of the company.

Company Director, Ed Thomson said: “If a bus has got dents and scrapes on it then it gives a really bad first impression.

“A passenger might not trust the driver even though they aren’t thinking about it consciously – subliminally it builds up a picture.”

To avoid a collision while manoeuvring, VUE fitted a range of vehicle cameras on 16 buses and 11 trailers.

One forward facing camera to capture anything directly in front of the bus was installed, along with two front side cameras and two rear cameras to minimise blind spots down the sides of the vehicle.

Additional rear cameras were also placed on the back of the trailer and the bus to detect hazards behind.

Thomson said: “What the VUE team has done is fantastic because it enables us to cover every single possible angle whether you have a trailer or no trailer.”

But it was more than just cameras…

In the event a driver has crashed into an object, Vans for Bands can remotely download footage via VUEhub to view exactly what happened including whether a driver got out of their vehicle to risk assess the site.

Previously, if an accident or near miss happened, they would often have to wait potentially weeks for the bus to return to the yard before being able to access the hard drive.

VUEhub has not only enabled Vans for Bands to retrieve footage within minutes of an incident occurring, but it has also given them the ability to locate exactly where a bus has broken down and take a deeper look into key driving behaviours such as speeding and cornering.

Even the installation process was subject to praise with Ed stating: “Our buses are all panelled out inside so it’s really hard for wires to be run through an existing built bus so the engineers have been very very patient doing that.”

After the successful implementation of VUE’s vehicle cameras and telematics, we’re looking forward to helping Vans for Bands to improve driver safety, reduce repair costs, and maintain their high standards of service.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
